Great building but lack social aspect

Great infrastructure and best location on campus. However, living with people outside the MBA program and building rules prevent social events.

Great if you get used to no windows

I have really enjoyed the trans-disciplinary life at Munger as it helped me break out of the business school bubble. It is also a very convenient housing option with all furnishings, facilities and a great location.

Great apartment, good people, escape school

An extremely nice apartment with all utilities included and more amenities than you will use. Living with graduate students in other schools allows you to interact interesting and fun people of similar ages without having to feel like you are smothered by discussions of assignments, exams etc. of your school when you are at home. A fun escape for people that like having roommates. Private bedroom and bathroom when you need your own space.

Great

It was great up until the covid started, staying in an apartment with no windows and no access to other facilities within the building isn't worth it. Well, hopefully you won't live through a pandemic in Munger so this might not apply to you.

Great location and community - current management can be better

Location is great, right by downtown Ann Arbor and very close to Ross. The graduate student community is great and the overall Munger building is wonderful with all the rooms and amenities. There are fun events that are going on in the building including board game nights and such. However, management is really not that great. On a day-to-day basis, you don't interact with them so it's not a problem. But sometimes things happen in the community and usually its because management has a power trip going on. For example, management wouldn't allow groups of students to reserve some of the open public spaces for get togethers. Or management questioned some of the hosted board game nights.

Munger Review

Munger is a great place to meet people from other schools while living in a spacious apartment. It also provides ample amount of space for studying and meeting rooms. The apartment is great for social activities which include a games room and a mini theater. The only downside to living at Munger is the lack of windows in most rooms.

Munger is pretty nice

6-7 other grad student roommates but you all have your own bedroom and bathroom so it's pretty chill. Can be a little noisy depending on your roommates and what you all agree on and how close your room is to the living room. Decent gym upstairs with solid assortment of cardio equipment. Really nice upstairs study spaces including quiet study space and there are plenty of private rooms that can be reserved. Bike rooms in the basement. Biking to Taubman is like 15 minutes including getting your bike out and everything. The walk is about 25 minutes, so it's not the closest option but it's not bad. You're walking distance from all the AA restaurants and cafes which I think makes up for it. Nicely pre-furnished. Big TVs in each room. A convenience store upstairs that comes in handy sometimes. Bedrooms don't have windows. Doesn't bother me but it does bug some people.

Affordable and Convenient

Munger is excellent if you don't mind roommates and don't have a car. All utilities are included in rent and you have your own bedroom and bathroom. You're not able to choose your roommates (you will have up to 7 roommates) and space is a bit type. No parking available on site but you can rent spots from landlords around A2. Munger is nearly brand new and has fantastic amenities. It's close to the business school and downtown.

This is like a 5 star hotel

Munger is great. It has everything you need - from facilities to social events. The RAs are extremely helpful. The only drawback is that there are no windows in rooms (though there are massive windows in each unit's common area)

Central Campus Reviews

76 reviews
Pros: 8 minute walk to Ross or downtown. Access into residence halls, suites, and rooms very secure. Maintenance managed by school so never have to shovel snow. Across from the Student Union that has fast food restaurants and Starbucks.

Cons: Have to walk a few blocks to get to real restaurants (like 2-3 blocks).
The main strip of stores/restaurants/etc. is only a 15 minute walk. The football stadium is close. Packard street (runs alongside the building) drops you off on State St which takes you to the highway. Travel is easy. The neighborhood has not felt unsafe to me at any point, though I generally don't travel the area between the areas of 2am and 6am lol so I can't vouch for those times. It seems to be college students and families mostly.
Germantown is geographically located in the heart of a U-M students' universe. Equally centered between downtown's bars & restaurants and Central Campus, living in Germantown allows for easy access to Ann Arbor's student essentials.
Extremely fun neighborhood, with lots of excellent restaurants and bars/clubs within walking distance. A 10-minute walk to Ross and other popular housing spots such as The Yard and 618 South Main.
Parking is a bit of a pain in the butt but there are ZipCars in many locations. That is the way to go! Don't bother bringing up a car. You're going to need a car to go to groceries.
Love all the restaurants and bars that are near us, as well as the fact that we are just a quick walk to campus. Neighborhood feels very safe, even late at night.
Film, booze, quick food, brunch, pharmacy, grocery, late night pizza, theatre (film, plays, musical artists), etc., etc all within a 10 minute walk.
7 minute walk from Ross, 10 minute from the Bus.

Its centrally located to bars, restaurants, classes, and everything else you need.
