Hi, im an incoming freshman to umich and I heard that you need to start looking for off campus housing early (September or October). I don’t have any idea about this, and I was hoping someone could share their experience. Thanks!
For good location in walking distance and good price apartment, you need to look really early. My D found one around Oct with her friends as they know some senior friends are graduating and moving out the next year.
Meh…my kiddo started looking in January and found a great apartment. Cheap, 12 minute walk from central. There is a LOT of private housing available in Ann Arbor. You can also get university housing beyond Freshman year. My kid had university housing through her junior year. Private housing is bigger and cheaper, though.
There a ton of private housing in AA. You can find good deals available right now. https://offcampushousing.umich.edu/property/search
