Munger is an amazing value

The Munger Graduate Residents is one of the best values on campus. For $850 per person you live in a fully furnished apartment that was built in 2015. It is fully upgraded with all the modern amenities, including two of every appliance in the kitchen and two large Smart TV's that have cable and internet. The apartment also includes a washer and dryer. $850 is inclusive of all utilities and bills!!!! This is particularly great as a grad student because it helps you to better plan your budget since there is no fluctuation in your overall housing cost.

Amazing place but no windows in bedrooms

This is a great place to live. Fair warning the bedrooms don't have windows but the living area is spacious and well lit, with lots of sunlight. Kitchens are huge, all amenities are in-house and included in rent.
Munger is also a great place to meet new people from different disciplines at UMich. Great place for international students!

Wish I had some sunlight

Lack of sunlight in the dorms is the only downside to Munger.

Awesome place. Only problem: no windows in the bedroom

Munger is really good for folks who come to AA without partners. The only problem is that there is no window in the bedroom. You wake up and have no idea what time it is. But amenities are really cool and the location is awesome - just a couple of minutes from Ross.

No windows…

Decent place to live - perfect location for Ross MBAs and the price can't be beat. That said, you will most likely not have a windows in your apartment.

Munger is a great place for Ross MBAs

This is one of the best places you can live, especially for the value and location. It opened this year and it is still basically new. It's a great place to be and wonderful opportunity to connect with people from other schools/colleges at UM.

Great place, could use some sunlight

A wonderful place to live as a Ross student. The only downside is the lack of windows in the bedroom.

Modern with great amenities - no windows biggest problem

Munger is a great place to live in terms of location, value for money, and amenities.It's also a good way to meet people from other graduate programs at the University. A very high likelihood of not having a window is the main downside of the apartment complex, as is the spotty cell phone reception. If you can handle that, you're not going to find a much better deal.

Spacious, practical and affordable

Munger is likely the best bang for the buck in Ann Arbor. The rent is very reasonable and includes a fully furnished apartment with great amenities and tons of space. Our kitchen has 2 of everything including fridges, ovens, microwaves. The building is very close to Ross and close to many restaurants. The only drawbacks are that there is no parking and you can't pick all you roommates. However, I've heard very few horror stories about bad roommates

Central Campus Reviews

76 reviews
Pros: 8 minute walk to Ross or downtown. Access into residence halls, suites, and rooms very secure. Maintenance managed by school so never have to shovel snow. Across from the Student Union that has fast food restaurants and Starbucks.

Cons: Have to walk a few blocks to get to real restaurants (like 2-3 blocks).
The main strip of stores/restaurants/etc. is only a 15 minute walk. The football stadium is close. Packard street (runs alongside the building) drops you off on State St which takes you to the highway. Travel is easy. The neighborhood has not felt unsafe to me at any point, though I generally don't travel the area between the areas of 2am and 6am lol so I can't vouch for those times. It seems to be college students and families mostly.
Germantown is geographically located in the heart of a U-M students' universe. Equally centered between downtown's bars & restaurants and Central Campus, living in Germantown allows for easy access to Ann Arbor's student essentials.
Extremely fun neighborhood, with lots of excellent restaurants and bars/clubs within walking distance. A 10-minute walk to Ross and other popular housing spots such as The Yard and 618 South Main.
Parking is a bit of a pain in the butt but there are ZipCars in many locations. That is the way to go! Don't bother bringing up a car. You're going to need a car to go to groceries.
Love all the restaurants and bars that are near us, as well as the fact that we are just a quick walk to campus. Neighborhood feels very safe, even late at night.
Film, booze, quick food, brunch, pharmacy, grocery, late night pizza, theatre (film, plays, musical artists), etc., etc all within a 10 minute walk.
7 minute walk from Ross, 10 minute from the Bus.

Its centrally located to bars, restaurants, classes, and everything else you need.
