Where would transfer students typically live their first year at Michigan? Would they live in a dorm or apartment or house? And how would a potential transfer student go about finding a roommate or house mate?
I am sure other people know more about this than I do, but I know of at least one apartment building, University Towers, that will set you up with a roommate and you will only be responsible for your own rent.
I know transfer students live in dorm and.apartments. For dorm, you just apply at the housing website. You can have your roommate or they will assign one for you.
Is there a way I could find a roommate who is similar to me? Or would they just completely place my with a random?
Either you find one yourself or they just do a random pick. They are not match makers.
