International Student at U of M Ann Arbor

<p>Hi all!</p>

<p>I'm a 20 year old Lebanese student, and I got accepted for an 8-month summer research at Ann Arbor in Mechanical Engineering. It's my first time in the states and I was just wondering what housing option would be the best for me considering the following:
-I don't know anyone at the University of Michigan, let alone the entire state, so I'd prefer being somewhere people are friendly
-My research is going to be in the Engineering labs, so the closer, the better</p>

<p>Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks :D</p>

<p>8-month summer? That’ one long summer?! :wink: </p>

<p>I am Lebanese myself, so welcome to Michigan. Are you going to rent an apartment? When will you be in Ann Arbor? Will you also be driving or getting around with public transportation?</p>

<p>Ya Allah, this whole time wana mfakra I’m the only 3arabia :P</p>

<p>You’d be surprised CP. We are everywhere! ;)</p>
