I believe Mason Hall is part of Wilke although not sure. There are several programs that allow out of state students the ability to live on campus and have access to their own stoves. Much of the high costs for Freshmen are those meal arrangements. If Mason is one of the apartment style houses then it’s a good choice. Another good choice is just not living in the dorms. I lived my first two years in dorms, but realize now I would have been better off either not living in a dorm the second year or not living in the dorm either year. I saved tons of money when I moved out to a house. The difference in monthly rent was 600 dollars per person and food costs were 2-300 dollars less in the house. However I really gained alot socially (I was awkward) by living in the dorm for at least one year.
