Housing

There are various housing options for University of Michigan students and faculty. Off-campus housing (not owned and operated by the University) is extensive and highly prefered over on-campus housing (residential halls).

Graduate Students
The residence halls and Family Housing on the campus of the University of Michigan are owned and operated by the University. Three of the residence halls provide housing for graduate students. Graduate students from over 90 countries live in these halls and Family Housing. The first step for matriculated students to apply for on-campus housing is to complete and submit the online International Student Application Request form. However, on-campus housing for graduate students is not guaranteed. Fortunately, off-campus housing (not owned and operated by the University) is extensive and varied in the area around the University of Michigan campus.

Undergraduate Students
Fourteen residence halls on the campus of the University of Michigan, which are owned and operated by the University, provide housing for undergraduate students. Students from over 90 countries make up 7 percent of the population of these halls. The first step for matriculated students to apply for on-campus housing is to complete and submit the online International Student Application Request form. Only first-term freshmen are guaranteed on-campus housing. Fortunately, off-campus housing (not owned and operated by the University) is extensive and varied in the area around the University of Michigan campus.

Visiting Faculty, Scholars, and Researchers
Visiting faculty, scholars, and researchers are eligible to live in University owned and operated Family Housing apartments located on the campus of the University of Michigan. Over 65 percent of the residents of Family Housing come from 90 countries outside the United States. However, placement in Family Housing is not guaranteed, since student applications are always given priority for available apartments. Fortunately, off-campus housing (not owned and operated by the University) is extensive and varied in the area around campus.
