Interprofessional Collaboration with Fantastic Amenities

Munger is a fantastic living environment if you don't mind walking 15-20 minutes to the medical school every day (and/or allotting time to take the bus). Each resident has their own bedroom and bathroom, but shares a spacious common space/kitchen with 5-6 roommates. Your roommates are typically from other graduate programs, seeing as the purpose of Munger is to promote interprofessional collaboration and communication. In terms of amenities, there are beautiful study rooms, a gym, a movie theater, game room, and small store as well. It is extremely secure as well.

Munger Review

Munger is a great place to meet people from other schools while living in a spacious apartment. It also provides ample amount of space for studying and meeting rooms. The apartment is great for social activities which include a games room and a mini theater. The only downside to living at Munger is the lack of windows in most rooms.

Great grad housing facility

Munger started out as a transdisciplinary housing initiative, but over last year, it has become just another grad dorm. You will live in apartments with 5 or 6 other room-mates, and the living situation will be what you make it to be.

The common areas are spacious, bright, and well appointed, but the bedroom is just about the right size. However, the deal-breaker for many is the lack of windows in the bedrooms (in about 80% of the bedrooms). If that is a concern, stay away.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed my stay here - it is centrally located and near everything that I could possibly want. The large common areas in the basement and 8th floor are a boon for exam prep and assignments. The gym on the 8th floor also has an outdoor running track.

Great if you get used to no windows

I have really enjoyed the trans-disciplinary life at Munger as it helped me break out of the business school bubble. It is also a very convenient housing option with all furnishings, facilities and a great location.

Affordable and Convenient

Munger is excellent if you don't mind roommates and don't have a car. All utilities are included in rent and you have your own bedroom and bathroom. You're not able to choose your roommates (you will have up to 7 roommates) and space is a bit type. No parking available on site but you can rent spots from landlords around A2. Munger is nearly brand new and has fantastic amenities. It's close to the business school and downtown.

Ross MBA Enjoys Munger Graduate Residences

I personally have loved my experience. I think that it is an exceptional value for the price! However, you live in a suite with 6 other students from graduate programs across the entire university. If you don't like living with people, this place is not for you. If you have very particular living requirements and expectations then this is probably not the best option for you.

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.
