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.

Great Amenities, close to campus and not very expensive!

Live with 6 other students from different schools. Each apartment is close to 3000 sq. ft., well-upholstered with everything you need in the apartment (washer, dryer, 2 microwaves, 2 stoves, 2 large fridges, etc.);

General amenities are also great - study rooms, music room, running track on top floor, gym, game equipment, video room, cycle storage, etc.

They do not offer 9 month leases (which is a disappointment), but not very expensive ($~875/month); Campus is between 7-9 minute walk.

Loved It

I had great roommates. Not all of them as clean as I would like but its great getting to know students from other disciplines. The apartments are large so it's sufficient room for 7 people, as crazy as that might sound. If you're okay with not having any windows in your room (most people adjust) then this is a gem.

Close and comfortable

I was very sceptical at first about living in an apartment without natural sunlight, paper thin walls, and fire alarms occasionaly going of in the middle of the night. But as a former undergraduate in social psychology, this arrangement had surprisingly positive effects on my studies and understanding of the human mind.

The only drawback in my opinion is the lack of parking.

Great place, could use some sunlight

A wonderful place to live as a Ross student. The only downside is the lack of windows in the bedroom.

Modern with great amenities - no windows biggest problem

Munger is a great place to live in terms of location, value for money, and amenities.It's also a good way to meet people from other graduate programs at the University. A very high likelihood of not having a window is the main downside of the apartment complex, as is the spotty cell phone reception. If you can handle that, you're not going to find a much better deal.

Munger is an amazing value

The Munger Graduate Residents is one of the best values on campus. For $850 per person you live in a fully furnished apartment that was built in 2015. It is fully upgraded with all the modern amenities, including two of every appliance in the kitchen and two large Smart TV's that have cable and internet. The apartment also includes a washer and dryer. $850 is inclusive of all utilities and bills!!!! This is particularly great as a grad student because it helps you to better plan your budget since there is no fluctuation in your overall housing cost.

Best value, great location

Munger is by far the best place to live in terms of value. The apartments are beautiful and spacious and for only ~900 dollars a month you get utilities, cable, and internet included. Munger offers two study lounges with ample amounts of private rooms as well.

While you live with other graduate students, some of which could potentially be Ross students, you rarely build a strong relationship with all of your housemates. Also, most Ross students live in houses south of campus and tend to forge better relationships with their housemates and neighboring classmates. This isn't to say that you are at a disadvantage socially, but it is worth considering.

Also, there are no windows in the bedrooms which can be a problem for some people... and the gym is more like a hotel fitness center

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.
