Love it here!

Fantastic! All the amenities, plus a market, study rooms, and rooftop track. About a 10 min walk to Ross. However, most bedrooms don't have windows and it's been going through management changes, which has impacted how quickly things get done (ex. they blocked off the garbage shoots early in the school year for safety reasons and the issue won't be fixed until the next school year).

Amazing Amenities, So Close to Ross

Deciding to live in Munger was one of the best decisions I made regarding my move to A2. It's incredibly convenient (about 6 minute walk to Ross and 7 to downtown), the quality of the living space is very high (especially compared with apartments in the area), and the amenities can't be beat (gym in the building, two floors of study/group work spaces, an outdoor track and outdoor seating areas, etc.). 90% of the bedrooms don't have windows but I got over that within a few days and there's plenty of light in the common areas. It's also a huge relief to be in a university-owned building because whenever something isn't working they're incredibly responsive about fixing it - I once submitted a request at 12:15AM and someone showed up at 9:00 that morning to address it. You don't get to pick your roommates so there's some risk involved there, but I got lucky and absolutely love mine.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Loved it

I have had a great time since I have moved in. the only problem is most rooms do not have windows so its hard to tell the time of the day without looking at the clock.

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.

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

68 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.
