<p>Next year I have absolutely no idea where I'm going to live for my senior year. I didn't find out until now that in order to live in the dorms after living off campus, you need to be a RA or an advisor, of which I missed the deadline for. I'm in a fraternity in which I'm not very friendly with many people, and they've all gotten houses or apartments, and I've kinda just slipped through the cracks. I guess I could just live in the fraternity house again, but that would be kinda lame, being the only senior in the house. What should I do?</p>

<p>Michigan won't allow you back on campus after living off campus? I didn't know that.</p>

<p>There are places that rent singles. I know most people go in together and get a house, but I dated a guy who lived in a house that was less a group thing. The house had common baths and a kitchen, but the individual rooms were rented on separate leases.</p>

<p>I don't think it's that they don't let people from off-campus come back to the dorms, it's just that they get absolute lowest priority after returning reshall students/freshmen/people returning from study abroad/etc.</p>

<p>How about Northwood Apartments popular with upperclassmen that offer singles? <a href="http://www.housing.umich.edu/northwood3/index.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.housing.umich.edu/northwood3/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It's not true that you cannot come back to live on campus after having moved off campus. You can live in Northwood III or in one of the residence halls. They will allow the current residents to reapply first - but with the smaller freshman class this year, there is almost no chance that you would be shut out of the dorms. And, if this happens for whatever reason (again, highly unlikely), you could pick up a room on the housing reassignment board or rent an off-campus apartment next spring. The vacancy rate is very high in Ann Arbor right now -- there is PLENTY of housing.</p>
