Living at North Quad 2011-12

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>I am an admitted UMich transfer student and I'll be starting in fall 2011. I just selected a room in North Quad for next year - I have a double in a four-person suite. (I'm a girl, by the way.) Housing for transfer students is NOT guaranteed, so I feel really lucky to have not only gotten ANY university housing, but to have gotten a room in an awesome dorm like North Quad!</p>

<p>I have been attending Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti for the past two years, but I live in Ann Arbor so I've been commuting. This will be my first time living away from home, and I had a few questions:</p>

<p>-Are the four-person suites nice at North Quad?
-Is living with that many roommates easy? I'm generally really relaxed and personable and friendly!
-What is the dining like at North Quad?
-I know most people start to live off-campus by junior year, but since I've never lived in a dorm, I really wanted that experience - since North Quad is mostly upper-level undergrads, will it be weird to be living there as a junior?
-What's the general community like? I know some halls, like South Quad, are often really close-knit and the halls are often really close groups of friends by the end of the year.
-When do I find out who my roommate/suitemates are?</p>

<p>Any other advice about North Quad, residential life at UMich, or dorm living in general would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>-Are the four-person suites nice at North Quad?
A friend lives there so i go there very often. 4 person suites are like mini apartments, they’re pretty amazing,</p>

<p>-Is living with that many roommates easy? I’m generally really relaxed and personable and friendly!
the only thing i can think of is bathroom issues. Some people are disgusting…</p>

<p>-What is the dining like at North Quad?
It has really good food, except its always busy, and crowded. Food is good though.
-I know most people start to live off-campus by junior year, but since I’ve never lived in a dorm, I really wanted that experience - since North Quad is mostly upper-level undergrads, will it be weird to be living there as a junior?</p>

<p>No, most people live there are soph/juniors. My friend is returning next yr as a junior.
-What’s the general community like? I know some halls, like South Quad, are often really close-knit and the halls are often really close groups of friends by the end of the year.</p>

<p>The halls are not as social as markley’s, but i’m sure if you’re friendly enough you’ll make some pretty good friends with them</p>
