About Student Housing in Fairfax
Fairfax, VA is a Northern Virginia suburb in the DC orbit, and George Mason University anchors its southern end with the state's largest student body. The city pairs a walkable Old Town core, complete with a historic courthouse and a busy civic events calendar, with sprawling residential neighborhoods stretching toward the Beltway. Mason students settle along University Drive north of campus, near Braddock Road on the engineering side, and across the apartment clusters ringing campus. The big draw is access: the Vienna Metro station puts Arlington and downtown DC within about 30 minutes, so the whole capital region is in play for internships and weekends. The area is also laced with regional parks and trails.
