Great facilities, no window in most rooms could be a problem for some but not for me. Gym, rooftop track, movie room, music rooms with pianos, 3D printers.....

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.

Munger Graduate Residences Review

The Munger Graduate Residences are a great place for most graduate students studying on Central campus owing to it's proximity to all the major hotspots here. The only downside to Munger would be that the rooms itself could have been slightly better lit.

Nothing gets better than living at Munger. The place has become sacred haunt for most of the grad students of the university. The only con is that rooms are windowless. While that disturbs a lot of students, I don't care about it much.

Munger is a great place to live in. I have 5 other roommates, but there is ample space for everyone. With each room having its own bath, it makes it extremely convenient. All utilities and furniture is included in the rent. The availability of study rooms, study area and the the fitness room, make the amenities great.

The only drawback is that most rooms do not have windows, so that would be the only thing I might change.

Overall, Munger is great. For only $850 for both rent and utilities, everyone gets their own bathroom, a huge living area and kitchen (with two of each major appliance), high-end study rooms and areas, and a nice convenience store on the 8th floor. Only complaints are: no window in my bedroom, fitness center with dumbbells up to only 25 lbs (which, for the vast majority of exercises, makes them relatively useless), and inability to move room and apartment temperature beyond a range of 71-76 degrees F due to environmental requirements.

Living in Munger has been a great experience. Everything you need under one roof. This comes in handy when you want to take a break from the Ross building (or can't find an empty study room). This residence is more than I imagined for the price. In addition to a gym, store, study rooms, theater room and game room, you get to engage with students from a variety of disciplines.

The only negative is that the bedrooms have no windows.

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.

This is a great place to live. Fair warning the bedrooms don't have windows but the living area is spacious and well lit, with lots of sunlight. Kitchens are huge, all amenities are in-house and included in rent.
Munger is also a great place to meet new people from different disciplines at UMich. Great place for international students!
