好评项：

1.The weather in Fairfax is great, students get to experience the best of all four seasons.

3.Dining-both on and off campus-provides students with plenty of different options no matter what they‘re in the mood for.

5.An extensive transportation system exists at Mason to get students pretty much where they want to go around the area. There’s a shuttle that takes students directly to the Metro, and one that circles around to area hot spots like Fair Oaks Mall.

5.Students need to beware of leaving their cars parked too long in a time-restricted space. Parking Services will ticket any cars breaking the rules, no questions asked.

6.Campus is pretty dead on the weekends, so most students head off campus to find places to drink or party.

7.Off-campus housing is expensive and commuters are hard pressed to find parking spots when they get to campus. The cheapest option is to live on campus, however there are hardly any parties on campus during the weekends.
