<p>hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm a newly admitted international student for this coming winter term, and I was wondering, how much is the cost of living in Ann Arbor per month? (including accommodation, food, and other possible extra expenses)</p>

<p>it's because I'm going there under a sponsorship, and I'm only getting $835 per month. will that be sufficient to survive in UMich? planning to stay on campus, but I'm only going there as a transfer, and if I'm not mistaken, most on campus housing is reserved for freshman right? so it's not confirmed yet where I will be staying.</p>

<p>and how cold is Michigan during winter? I'm from Malaysia, and I've never experienced any harsh cold weather yet, so some helpful advices will definitely be appreciated.</p>

<p>thank you, can't wait to be part of UMich! :)</p>

<p>$835 will be tough if you are staying on campus. Here are rates for housing: UM</a> Undergraduate Housing - Housing Rate Information . The dorms are expensive, you might want to look into Northwood.</p>

<p>I live in a house off-campus...it costs me $540/month+utilities...so maybe up to $640 tops. You can probably sublet from someone for less...or you can look into a co-op. That leaves you money for food too.</p>

<p>Michigan gets pretty cold, you are going to want a real winter jacket, hat, gloves, long pants, long shirts, etc.</p>
