Great apartment, good people, escape school

An extremely nice apartment with all utilities included and more amenities than you will use. Living with graduate students in other schools allows you to interact interesting and fun people of similar ages without having to feel like you are smothered by discussions of assignments, exams etc. of your school when you are at home. A fun escape for people that like having roommates. Private bedroom and bathroom when you need your own space.

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.

Munger Graduate Residences

I moved into Munger during its inception in Fall of 2015 and I have been very happy with my living arrangements. Due to the fact that I was apart of the inaugural class, the housing authority allowed those residents to break their lease due to graduation. My understanding now however is that they only offer year long commitments. I have been very happy with the cost of living, proximity to Ross and the included furniture. The apartment came furnished with mattress, major kitchen appliances (stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave all x2), TVs and couches in common area as well. The major drawback is that most rooms do not have windows and you can't really crank the heat up or the AC up when it is hot. The temp stays between 68-74 degrees year round.

Absolutely wonderful. Too much to take advantage of.

The rooms and common areas are large, each person has their own bathroom, there is a movie theater, there is a ping-pong table, there is a game room, there are multiple study areas and a gym upstairs that includes an outdoor track, the rooms are comfortable and--there is simply too much to take advantage of. It is a great deal and the location is great.

My only complaint would be that there is no sunlight in the bedrooms. This is not true for all rooms, but it is for most rooms.

Munger Review

Munger is a great place to meet people from other schools while living in a spacious apartment. It also provides ample amount of space for studying and meeting rooms. The apartment is great for social activities which include a games room and a mini theater. The only downside to living at Munger is the lack of windows in most rooms.

The apartment provides a lot of amenities. I have roommates from different programs and I like the interdisciplinary approach.

Great grad housing facility

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.

Great if you get used to no windows

I have really enjoyed the trans-disciplinary life at Munger as it helped me break out of the business school bubble. It is also a very convenient housing option with all furnishings, facilities and a great location.

Affordable and Convenient

Munger is excellent if you don't mind roommates and don't have a car. All utilities are included in rent and you have your own bedroom and bathroom. You're not able to choose your roommates (you will have up to 7 roommates) and space is a bit type. No parking available on site but you can rent spots from landlords around A2. Munger is nearly brand new and has fantastic amenities. It's close to the business school and downtown.

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.
