Housing and Cars

Walking on Munger's rooftop track!

Welcome back, future accounting superstars! I’m sure a lot of you are curious where you should live, or how you’ll get around town. I live in Munger and have really enjoyed it. I have a 7 bedroom, 7.5 bath apartment (yes, you read that correctly) that I share with other graduate students. We all have our own bedrooms and bathrooms and the apartment is fully furnished. I live with people studying medicine, dentistry, computer design, public health, business, and accounting! We were all random apartment-mates, except for the other MAcc student who I went to undergrad with.  

Munger Graduate Residences (540 Thompson Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48104) are in a fantastic location on central campus. I can walk to Ross in 7 minutes and the Law School, Ford School of Public Policy, Michigan Union, and Intramural Gym are all super close too! Munger has lots of study lounges, recreation rooms, and even its own rooftop gym and track. The application opened recently and can be found here.

There are lots of other housing options besides Munger! Central campus is surrounded by downtown Ann Arbor and there are “off-campus” apartments that are actually closer to Ross than Munger. Students also live in houses around town.

I do not think it’s necessary to bring a car to Ann Arbor. Parking is challenging/expensive and the town is walkable if you live near campus. There is a free city bus system for students, Zipcars to rent around campus, and Uber/Lyft! There’s also public transit to the Detroit airport, an Amtrak station, and buses to Chicago.

Bikes are a popular way to get around town. You can bring your own or join a bike share program that has stations all over Ann Arbor.

Best of luck as you prepare your applications and GO BLUE!
