Great location

Munger is a great place to live.
Location: It is centrally located, midway between the business school and downtown. Everything is within walking distance (except shopping
Rooms: Rooms are amply furnished.
Amenities:

Downsides: Most bedrooms (80%) don't have windows. If you are comfortable with that, this is a great place. If you have a car, then you also have to worry about parking as there are no parking spots provided by Munger

New and modern but lots of roommates

Munger is a really incredible place to live. The building is brand new and al of the appliances/furnishings are very well done. They have definitely put pretty much everything you could want in here. There is a gym, convenience store, computer centers, UM printing, and tons of study space. It is also very close to Ross and a great value considering the Ann Arbor housing market. There are a few downsides, however. The apartments have 6-7 bedrooms (and each has it's own bathroom) which is great when you want to socialize but also a challenge if you need quiet. There is also no parking associated with the building which can be a pain if you have a car. Lastly, most of the rooms are internal and have no windows.

On campus housing

Everything here is brand new and it's a great price. It's been fun living with a big group of people but also having my own room/bathroom.

Munger Graduate Housing

Munger is a great community overall. I was lucky and am living with a great group of roommates. Most apartments are 7 bdrm / 7.5 baths. Each room has it's own bathroom. The queen bed isn't very comfortable but manageable with a foam mattress topper. The biggest complaint about the rooms is that the desk is built in so there isn't a lot of freedom to move furniture around. Also most (over 80%) of the rooms in the buildings do not have windows. It doesn't bother me much but it might bother you. Also you can't punch nails into the walls so most units have to get creative to hang up decorations.

Amazing value!

Munger is a great place to live. It is fully furnished and has all the amenities that you could possible want/need! The only drawback is that almost everyone gets a room without a window. Also, its proximity to Ross - a 7 min walk - is perfect, especially during winter months.

Munger Graduate Residences - Great if you want to meet people outside the business school

Living in Munger has been a nice experience. It is very close to Ross so it is easy to walk back and forth between classes if needed. The building itself is brand new and most of the amenities of modern high rise buildings (I most recently lived in downtown Chicago) less a pool. It is also a really great opportunity to meet students outside the building since there is a strong emphasis on trans-disciplinary activities.

That said, there are some drawbacks. The vast majority of the bedrooms do not have windows. Also, the management of the building is done predominantly by students. These students can be a bit "Cult like" at times. For instance, there are TV's on every floor outside the elevators that show the hierarchal structure of the leadership and the fellows are referred to as "The Visionaries". This isn't a big deal, but it is a trait that runs deep in the culture of the building and can feel strange at times.

All in all though, it is a great building and place to live.

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.
