Don't have time for this review, how does it help prospective students???

Pros:
- Under 15 minute walk to get to Ross
- Newer build - no issues with allergies to mold etc.
- great place for dogs
- large kitchen islands - actually provides room for food prep
- high ceilings, hardwood floors in main area, large windows, some units have balconies
- maintenance and office people are kind and want to help (but sometimes this is met with a slower than preferred pace)
- pool and having a large common room for gatherings is a big draw
- they keep the place pretty clean and it is a modern, homey vibe
- free donuts every Friday from Washtenaw
- strong community of MBA students and other grad students - haven't really seen many kids or families which is nice as a grad student

Cons:
- parking is $200 per month (cramped spots, but underground which is key in the winter
- kitchen designs are beautiful but not practical - no horizontal shelves to store plates (have to install our own shelves)
- lots of active construction around (noise pollution)
- gym is SUPER small for the amount of people who live here - hard to guarantee a space
- some units have no front closet, kitchen pantry NOR linen closet (we had to get creative with food storage, linens storage and coats in these Michigan winters)
- the washer/dryer units in this building are weird and break often (but maintenance does try their best to see to it)
- can definitely hear the train come through Ann Arbor since we're next to the train tracks (but it's not as bad as it is at the Yard)
- basic internet package is provided (+) but it's the lowest plan you will likely opt to purchase the faster plan anyway

618 is a fantastic place for those that want a built in social scene. Plenty of MBA1s and 2s, which makes it a great place to meet folks.
Rent is pricey, but you are paying for living in a higher end building and the premium of a built in network.

Location is amazing and it's a great apartment

Great location near other popular housing and walking distance to the stadium. The property management company can definitely do better at being responsive and addressing concerns.

Great location, bad management

Great location central to social but not too much

618 South Main is a complex with a lot of inhouse facilities and spacious floor plans for anyone looking for a studio or 1 bedroom spaces. All the appliances are fairly new. The only downside is that the new management is still finding its feet which leads to a lot of frustration with maintenance and package issues

The apartments are big, new, and clean with high ceilings. New management seems to be doing a better job than the last team. Coffee machine breaks down frequently but they are purchasing a replacement that should arrive soon. This is a smaller piece but the hallways are painted/lit in a way that feels a little college dormy, but outside of that, the building aesthetic is great.
