Questions, answers, and information about everything housing can go here. Please let me know if you see anything that needs to be updated or any new information that can be posted/linked to.
Listings:
Area Facebook Housing Groups - Facebook group list compiled by u/fluffymoomin - Groups are listed with descriptions as well as safety recommendations. Not all groups are moderated well, be careful regardless of the group, moderators are human. Do not pay money to post in any facebook group. It's a scam. The ones that ask for money are no different, or worse than the free ones. Any reply asking you to message or dm them is likely a scam.
UofM offical off-campus housing site - You can now sort by recently updated listings. You can post listings or as a person looking for housing/roomates. They charge for property listings, but offer free sublease listings. Also people simply post in the roommates section that they have a place they are looking to fill as well.
Ann Arbor off-campus housing - This was the site that uofm used as their official site until it was replaced with the site above. One of the biggest gripes I had with this version is that commercial properties were updated every day, so sorting by new was tedious to find new listings as a bunch of the same commercial properties would be "updated" each day to be at the top.
Zillow (ann arbor) - Zillow
Roomies.com - Roomies.com you can search for listings and roommates by location. Even though it's apparently a national site, enough people locally use it that it's worth taking a look at.
Apartments.com - Apartments.com
ICC Co-ops - Inter-Cooperative Council page for Co-op housing.
Craigslist Apartment search - Usually spammed by the same area complexes over and over, which is what made craigslist so hard to use and forced people to facebook. There are still some listings here though, it just takes some scrolling.

We work with both Home Providers (homeowners or renters with a spare room) and Home Seekers.
UofM Parking site - Information about permit, and free and commuter parking.
Ann Arbor VeryAPT guide - List of apartments in the area, over 200. The listed rents are low, at least 2-3 years old, maybe more, but gives a good overview of the entire area. Most comprehensive listing I've seen in a readable format. Only reason this isn't under listings is because all of the rents quoted are old and there are no links to the actual websites, just a form for contact email that goes who knows where. Use this to find places to look at more in depth, contact them directly on their actual websites.

Ann Arbor renter permit system 1 - You need to look in both systems, the old and new as they are running concurrently.
Ann Arbor Renter permit system 2 - This is the newer system. In both systems you’re looking for permits that start w CR.

Remember to exercise caution when looking for housing. Lots of scammers out there. Check their main profiles if on facebook to see if they match the user who reached out to you. See if you can verify them anywhere else that they actually live in the area. Beware of people pushing you to send deposit money without showing you the place. Please refer to the PDF survival guide located at the top of the post. It can save you money and just as importantly time, not having waste time and effort to interact with scammers. Most instances of people telling you to message them as replies to your posts on facebook are scams. Make sure they have listings on the group, not just replies to people looking as comments like that can't be screened. Most legit people will contact you first and have a listing already in the group.
Remember never to give your uofm ID student ID number or a picture of your student ID to a 3rd party site for subleasing.
They can't even verify numbers are valid.
Disclosure could cause limited harm to individuals and/or the university with some risk of civil liability. May be subject to contractual agreements or regulatory compliance, or is individually identifiable, confidential, and/or proprietary.

Fall sublets will be uncommon. Most of the Winter sublets you've seen posted are people who failed to find a Fall-only sublet and are trying to recoup some of the un-used lease remaining. Be especially wary when searching for Fall-only sublets. Scammers count on people being desperate to bypass their warning senses. Some apartment complexes like Woodbury Gardens(2-15 and 21 month), and the complexes owned by Village Green(6 and 9 month) may offer shorter lease terms than 12 month. Be aware the shorter term leases will be more expensive per month. Mckinley Properties don't allow less than 12 month lease but they offer a early termination option which costs 2x monthly rent and requires a 60 day notice. This could be just as good as a shorter lease. I'd confirm it with the leasing office but this should be for all washtenaw county mckinley properties.
The Ann Arbor city bus line can make some affordable locations more practical. Your student ID lets you ride free. A short bus ride can be not too much worse than a medium/long walk. Beware some buses run more commonly than others
If there are any resource additions or corrections let me know.

Is this Umich school of info that bad. I’ve heard a lot of negative things about it on this subreddit that their employment numbers are fake or that the curriculum is a joke and talking about how it’s a lot of people too dumb for CS. I was considering transferring into the school my sophomore year as it interests me but I was looking to learn more if it truly was that bad and could I realistically get good employment or a job with an info degree or am I better off looking elsewhere where. As a note I’m not big into computer science or like software engineering so that was never a real consideration for me. Just looking for any advice. Thank you!

I am currently taking a CS course in UMSI and am loosing my mind. My professor openly brags the entire course is AI generated, including exams, homework, and grading.
It would be one thing if AI was used to polish or enhance course materials, but this is a whole different situation. Half the course content reads like it was published to Canvas without ever being reviewed. It has the same monotonic LLM cliches over and over, and if I have to read 'quietly' or 'delve into a rich tapestry' in an assignment one more time, I’m going to explode. When students ask for clarification in office hours, it feels like the teaching team is discovering the assignment alongside us. Some of my classmates have been told to figure it out with Co-Pilot, because we "have to learn to use AI anyways."
If I wanted to learn from a chatbot, I wouldn't have moved across the country to Ann Arbor to pay $1300 a month in rent and thousands in tuition for a course. If I dared use AI to complete an entire assignment I'd be flagged with honor code violations and dragged through weeks of disciplinary procedures with the Dean. But when a professor dumps raw garbage from ChatGPT onto hundreds of students, they get to praise themselves for forward-looking pedagogy while the department looks the other way, and student data is fed directly into commercial AI tools so they can learn to automate our careers.
What are we even paying for at this point? Accreditation for a degree where professors don't bother to write the exams, or grade work anymore?
Absolute f*cking joke.

I have heard from alot of my friends at other top unis like uiuc, gtech, or cornell etc how they data strucure classes do not require heavy leet code style exams even though the projects go much in detail. Also a uiuc transfer I met who said their cs classes was much easier. Is that true or what makes our cs classes much harder compared to other higher ranked insitutions?

In winter 2027, I plan to take:
- CHEM 351 (Fundamentals of Biochemistry) (4)
- CHEM 262 (Mathematical Methods for Physical Scientists) (4)
- CHEM 261 (Quantum Chemistry; p-chem equivalent) (1)
- ASIANLAN 216 (4th-term language requirement) (4)
- BIOLCHEM 398 (Undergrad research in biochem) (2)
Do we think this schedule is manageable if I am also working a 15hr/week job? I've heard CHEM 351 is a beast and that you need to set time aside for that course. CHEM 262 is Calc 3 equivalent but much easier. Does anyone have any advice for these two courses?
I feel like my other courses are pretty chill and might take a couple of hours a day here and there, but I am truly scared for 351 and 262. Any advice would be appreciated!
Also if anyone is taking these classes next semester hmu so we can make a study group :)
r/uofm • u/Excellent-Sandwich73 • 9h ago

Hello,
I was under the impression that calculus was not needed for the "pre-med" Physics here, but looking at the course guides for the spring semester Physics 250, I see that it says that knowledge of integral and differential calculus is needed for the course.
Can anyone who has taken Physics 250 in the past give their take on this?
Thank you!

im taking 482 and am terrified lmao so i want an easy class to pair with it. im looking at eecs 486, 484, 483, and 493. i've already taken 485 and don't want to take 481 which i know is what many people suggest. i'm probably most interested in 493 because i have very little experience with ui/ux, but have heard the class has gotten harder. any thoughts on any of these classes?

Hi all! I was recently admitted to UMICH as a transfer for the winter 2027 semester (woooo!) I just would like some clarification regarding my estimated financial aid rewards. Both my FAFSA and CSS profile have been retrieved by the financial aid office but I’m just wondering if I can call them, let’s say tomorrow, and see if they’ll already have an answer for me. I’m kind of psyching myself out due to this and would like an answer as soon as possible to put myself at ease. Any thoughts?

i’m a french girl studying business in the netherlands (maastricht) and i considering umich for my 6 month exchange and i wanted some input about it. is ross a prestigious school and is it hard, do you have to work a lot/ have a lot of classes , how is the nightlife and are the students friendly and keen to include strangers, is housing expensive and easy to find, when is the best period to come (sept-jan or feb-june) and just your general thoughts about the school the city etc..

My best option for a unit within a house is from Michigan Rental, but I've heard that they aren't the best to rent from. Does anyone have (recent) experiences/thoughts? Thank u in advance
r/uofm • u/ThisHold2609 • 21h ago
Hi all! I'm planning out my next semester, and I'm debating between Chem 260 or 230. For context, I'm a pre-med BCN major and a senior going into my last semester. I saw that Julie Biteen is teaching Chem 260, and she has great ratings on Atlas, but I am also worried because I haven't looked at calculus since my junior year of high school. Plus, chemistry is NOT my niche. Additionally, I've heard horror stories of the million different exams that 230 has... so I'm a little stuck on which one to take.

Hey everyone! I'm a transfer student at UMich and still getting to know people. Planning to go out with a friend this Saturday for Halloween. Does anyone know of any frat parties happening or where to find RSVP links? Appreciate any help!

Does anyone have experience with this course? Speaking with upperclassmen from previous years, I was told this is one of the easiest electives you can take; however, I was told by another peer that the prof displays their favoritism quite easily.
Another one I was considering was MCDB 452, but I was told the class got a lot harder the last time it was offered.
Overall, I would like guidance from other MCDBites on what electives you guys would recommend and your experiences with those courses. All the best
Note: I am taking a course most likely that is M-Th that is 4-5 (unfort knocked out MCDB 458, which you guys should check out cuz holy shi)
