Mason is a very good school and as a side light the arena there has tons of great concerts that you can get discounted admission to. I too went to a commuter school and that was my only regret about college. Generally fully residential schhols have a bigger party scene but that is a only a small part of college.
Good luck and most importantly have fun ( and study hard so you can get a good job yadda, yadda, yadda.
