Summer Orientation Housing

George Mason University's Housing and Residence Life offers convenient on-campus accommodations for students attending New Student or Transfer Orientation during the summer. Eligible students are housed in first-year residence halls on the Fairfax campus, within walking distance of orientation events.

Students are not required to stay on campus overnight during orientation sessions. Housing and Residence Life provides overnight housing to students who need to travel to attend orientation and cannot get a hotel room. 

Eligibility and Booking:

• Students must be enrolled in a Summer 2025 orientation session to qualify for on-campus housing.
• Accommodation is available for up to two nights and three days, allowing check-in the day before and check-out the day after the orientation session. Students may also opt for a one-night stay.

Cost and Amenities:

• The overnight housing fee is $50 per night, charged directly to the student.
• This fee includes a linen packet containing:
• 1 pillow and pillowcase
• 1 sheet set and blanket
• 1 towel and washcloth

Check-In Details:

• Check-in is at Eisenhower Hall, located at 10445 Presidents Park Dr., Fairfax, VA 22030.
• Students can check in starting at 3:00 p.m.
• Check-out is required by 11:00 a.m.

Additional Information:

• Overnight on-campus housing during orientation is exclusively for Mason students registered for a summer orientation session; family members or friends cannot be accommodated.
• Rooms are in traditional-style residence halls with community-style bathrooms, separated by gender.
• While linens are provided, students should bring personal toiletries, shower shoes, and a robe.
