<p>I was wondering if for a freshman, its better 2 get an apartment or a dorm? How are the dorms at Umich?</p>
<p>i also heard that most ppl prefer apartments and leave the dorms after freshmen year. are freshmen required 2 live in dorms?</p>
<p>Do a dorm as a freshman. While an apartment is going to be somewhat nicer than a dorm, a dorm has a lot of functionality that you lose when you move to an apartment (dining halls, study lounges, people, etc.).</p>
