No Window, No Way
Munger Graduate Residences does not offer much to be desired by the typical graduate student, especially if you are a health professional student who takes classes and completes field work approximately 1-2 miles north of the location. Munger does not offer parking so you must rent a space nearby, which typically costs $75-100 per month. But here is the pièce de résistance: you don't get a window in your room. Good luck surviving seasonal depression or maintaining your slowly failing eyesight, especially during a pandemic and you should not be spending long periods in common spaces, when 95% of the rooms in Munger have NO WINDOW. Besides these issues, the management is not very good in the building. The maintenance staff is very friendly and responsive to repair requests, but if you have an issue with access to the building, mail (which gets LOST all the time by the sorting staff), WiFi failure, or any number of problems, good luck getting through to someone in a timely fashion. Also, Munger has a huge problem with frequent fire alarms. To add insult to injury, Munger loves to have twice-yearly, week-long fire alarm testing throughout the building. Good luck trying to study, sleep, attend class, hold virtual meetings, think, or maintain your sense of hearing/sanity. Finally, during the pandemic, the main reason why people decide to live in Munger (the community programs, gym, study spaces, and collaborative environments) has collapsed on itself. Just choose a normal apartment complex. You're an adult, you've earned it. If you are a masochist, have copious amounts of money to throw away, and/or not grown up enough to live outside university housing, this may be the place for you. Even still, I'd find somewhere else to live.

Much better options in town
Windowless rooms and the common spaces are too crowded. I would not recommend living here unless it is a last resort and a student is in a pinch to find housing. Fire alarms go off way too often and sometimes in the middle of the night.

Facilities are new, amenities are nice. Lack of light is an issue.
Open and spacious common spaces. Kitchen is great. Individual rooms come with own bathroom, rooms themselves are quite small. Individual rooms do not have windows. Roommates are assigned with no matching/preference program. They can be really hit or miss.

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

Great building, incompetent residents
Amazing amenities and great location. Prepare for a lot of fire alarms going off from people not knowing how to cook.

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.

Best All-in Option, Closest to Ross
Are there cheaper places closer or as close to Ross School of Business? Yes.
But is there a new building (2-3 years old) with a gym and outdoor running track all-inclusive this close to Ross? Nope.
Having building controlled heat/cooling is definitely not ideal and living with 5-6 other grad students may not be your ideal option (weigh this heavily). I happened to luck out with 6 complete strangers and a wonderful living situation...
Also, coming from a Californian, you get used to not having natural light in your personal room as the common areas have large windows. Sounds unbearable but it's AMAZING for mid-day naps.

Central Campus Reviews
Cons: Have to walk a few blocks to get to real restaurants (like 2-3 blocks).
Its centrally located to bars, restaurants, classes, and everything else you need.
