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.

Great value but no window in your room

It was a really nice place to live and make friends, especially if you want to get a break from seeing the same people and groups at your school/community. Many activities and events.

Roommates can be upside (become your Ann Arbor's family and friends) or downside (annoying, noisy).

Most of the bedroom do not have windows, but for me it was not a problem (can take a nap between classes uninterrupted).

Close to downtown, only ~10 mins walk to Ross and other central campus location, an advantage during the winter.

Fire alarm goes off easily and can make you being evacuated in the middle of the cold night.

Easy Option for those looking to live close to Ross

Munger is brand new and is very well furnished. It is close to Ross and most other things on campus. The only downside is the lack of windows in bedrooms.

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.

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.

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.
