MBA 1 review of Munger

Has all the amenities and benefits I was looking for as a first year student.

Quiet study areas, meeting rooms, movie Rooms, a gym to maintain, and great living spaces.

You also interact with other graduate students outside of Ross which is nice but you also live near a lot of MBA 1's and 2's. Munger can be very social because of the many house parties throughout the year

Will live there again

No Windows is a big problem

Munger is an ideal place to live in. It has everything you need, location, facilities, etc. except there is no windows in your bedroom. It can be a huge problem for people to live in because normally people would feel very uncomfortable living in a room without windows, and you don't even have a safe place to recover yourself when you feel down.

The idea of making people more social is good but it's not working. From my experience, most of the time we are too busy to sit down and talk in the living room. Given that there is no window in the bedroom, my suite really becomes just a place for me to lie at nights.

Easy living

Living at Munger is incredibly easy. It's furnished, so you don't have to worry about furniture shopping. Additionally, you only have to worry about paying one bill a month, which sounds lazy but I promise it makes a difference when you're swamped with work. Furthermore, the amenities are phenomenal. When you're not meeting with your groups at Ross, the chances are that you're meeting at Munger. Plus, the views from the 8th floor are lovely! Not to mention you get a ton of sunlight!

Best for Ross students

Wonderful! Works well for me for 2 years. Super central to everywhere and 7 min walk to campus. Management is a struggle but stuff is still pretty new so it's been fine.

Munger 7 person mixed gender suite

Pros: Spacious common area, private bedroom with our own bathroom. 8 minute walk to Ross and downtown. Lots of MBAs live here, so easy place to meet up to study at any time of the day. Only grad students live here and they are from all the different programs, so great place to meet new people and get out of the Ross bubble. Lots of study spaces. Gym and rooftop track.

Cons: Most bedrooms don't have windows. Hit or miss on your roommates.

Convenient and Great Amenities

Munger is an easy 6 minute walk to Ross, and has all the amenities you could hope for. From a gym to bike storage, to a movie theater and study spaces - this is a relatively affordable place to live when compared with other apartment buildings. Downsides include not being able to choose your roommates, and no windows in the bedrooms. Neither have been a big issue for me. My roommates are from all over the University and we keep a clean, peaceful space.

Great Housing Option for those comfortable living with roommates!

Close to Ross. Brand new with fantastic facilities. However, will only provide 12 month contracts (which is unfortunate for second year students). A little bit of a walk to downtown and Liberty/Main St. for nightlife. You get a private bedroom (no windows in the room however) and bath in a house with 5-6 other graduate students.

Great amenities, roommates are hard to control

The Munger facility is amazing and beautiful, and my room is great! You can't pick your roommates, which can be great because of the opportunity to meet new people across grad schools, but can be difficult if living styles don't match (as in my case).

Munger

Everything is good except two things: the window and the roommates, some of which are just not mature and considerate at all.

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.
