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.

Great place to live in with a reasonable price

Overall, I really like this place. It is located near school and the building is fairly new and well maintained. Considering about the price, I think it is a great deal!

Munger is great

Munger organizes many events for the residences, and it encourages students from different schools to mingle.

Highly recommend

Munger is a convenient, collegial community. I appreciate having my own room and bathroom. Roommates are respectful and quiet, but I appreciate the community feel.

Reviewed by Ross MBA Student living at Munger Graduate Residences
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).
Reviewed by Ross MBA Student living at Munger Graduate Residences
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.
Reviewed by Ross MBA Student living at Munger Graduate Residences
7 minute walk from Ross, 10 minute from the Bus.

Its centrally located to bars, restaurants, classes, and everything else you need.
