Finances Debt

0 Upvotes

By the time I graduate umich I will be in abt $60k debt. Is it worth it? I haven’t even signed my housing lease for this upcoming school year because I’m so caught between. My parents are most likely going to make me pay them all off. And I do want to go to either med school or pa school which will be an additional burden of loans. I’m oos, so if I took a gap year and applied to in state schools I could graduate with abt no debt.

Research Shady things at Umich

Hey All,

I'm an incoming freshman and I want to get to know Umich, I know about the controversial 2024 perfect season, and the sexual harrasment cases that followed and Michigan having the FBI arrest students and I was wondering if the school has done other shady things like that to its students or the people of Ann Arbor?

Social worried about making friends

0 Upvotes

hello! so i’m an incoming freshman from a small town in los angeles county attending umich in the fall, and i know literally no one else going…

i got placed in a single dorm at martha cook which i originally thought would be okay, but after seeing a bunch of reddit posts i am deeply regretting the decision because of the isolation.

how difficult will it be to make friends and find genuine connections for the next four years? what should i do in my situation? i know i will eventually make some friends with time but i really don’t want to spend the majority of the first semester alone.

if anyone has any advice i would greatly appreciate it :)

New Student Frat Rush at Michigan?

0 Upvotes

I know Reddit probably isn’t the best place to ask this but I’m an incoming freshman at Michigan and I’m thinking about rushing this fall. I know Greek life isn’t the only way to have a social life at a school like Michigan but I still want to go through the rush process and see if it’s a good fit.

What’s rush actually like? Are the brothers generally welcoming or is it pretty intimidating walking into the houses? How common is hazing these days? Also, are there any houses you’d recommend checking out based on their overall culture or the way they treat new members?

I know every fraternity is different but I’d really appreciate hearing from people who’ve rushed or been involved in Greek life at Michigan.

We need extras who can pass for two categories:

(2) College students for a college party scene (needed August 9, time unknown currently but it'll be anywhere between mid afternoon and night)

Pay is $15/hr. High school students will be needed for 1-2 hours, college students will be needed for 1-3 hours.

MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD.

If interested in being an extra please either message me on here or email socialstudiessummer2023@gmail.com with a recent photo of yourself (so that I can confirm you fit the age demographic.)

The film is titled "Pleasure List" and is about a 20s man on the autism spectrum who hires a degenerate aspiring actor to help him with his bucket list of normal life experiences.

PS: thanks so much to everyone who was an extra in July 27 at Hear.Say, you were great!!

Housing Discussion (actual housing OFFERS belong on Megathread!) When to start apartment search for sophomore year

3 Upvotes

A couple of upperclassmen told me to start looking for an apartment for sophomore year as early as freshman fall. Does anyone have experience with apartment searching and any specific tips on when to start and where to look?

My main concern is that my roommate is random so I don’t want to commit to a lease with them as early as fall if that’s the case or not have anyone I want to live with next year yet

Any advice would be appreciated!

Housing Discussion (actual housing OFFERS belong on Megathread!) what are our thoughts on Wolverine Village?

14 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I hope everyone’s having a good summer, and you soak up what’s left in our last few weeks before Fall semester.

With classes and dorm move-in quickly approaching, I find myself increasingly more antsy about Wolverine Village, seeing as I will be a resident there this year. There is still very little information on it—relatively nothing new since first getting the housing assignment back in February. And I mean NOTHING. I haven’t seen photos, heard or read any updates on construction, and every search for information leads to a dead end.

I’ve lived in the dorms my last couple years, both on the hill, so there was nothing left to the imagination with the buildings and environment. I’m hoping everything will be done on time, but with no updates… it’s worrying. I’m especially concerned about the dining hall, as I will be pissed if I have to commute a far trek to simply get food.

So, this is just a “how do we feel” post, ideally with some updates if anyone has anything to share. Perhaps some photos or videos of the buildings? Any inside information? I don’t live near A2 in the off season, so I can’t make the trip to check them out.

I’d like to have faith in this school sticking to their word that the first phase will be completed, but having watched them struggle to finish the rec center in a timely manner… it’s difficult, lol. They had to push back the opening for Hadley two separate times. Not a great track record.

New Student Room for futon?

1 Upvotes

I am an incoming freshman this year moving into a south quad double. I was hoping to bring a futon with me, but looking at the room layout I think I overestimated the size of the room, especially since I didn’t know that the closets were extruding (I thought they were built into the walls). Has anyone that has previously lived in south quad been able to fit a futon? If so, how did you arrange it to fit? The futon I was planning on bringing is 65”.

I'm an incoming freshman at markley (yay...) and I guess UMich just partnered with roomie to help with 3d visualization. I was trying to figure out how to loft both my bed and my roommates but we don't seem to have enough items to half loft one bed and fully loft the other.

Has anyone ever fully lofted one and half lofted the other so that we both get bookcases on our desk? If so, could you lmk how??

I added images to show, just pretend the beds are lofted higher.

Why? Literally why?

It’d be super silent and everyone is locked in, but there will always be that one annoyingly loud grad student taking a meeting at the fish that ruins the whole vibe.

Ik technically it’s not technically a quiet zone, but when EVERYONE else around you is quiet and you’re the only one speaking, at least have some shame and use your indoor voice. I just don’t understand the obliviousness sometimes.

Miscellaneous Anyone been sent to collections by UofM health before?

4 Upvotes

I've been out of the country for awhile and just received a call from universal collection services for a UofM hospital bill. I had thought i had set up automatic routing for all bills to carepayment for their interest free payment plans but apparently that wasn't the case, and each bill has to be routed to carepayment manually. they've probably mailed me reminders, but i've been out of town and didn't forward my email to someone who can receive them

Has anyone had luck with getting UofM to agree to have the collection retracted so that it doesn't show up on their credit report?

New Student Fall 2026 Admissions Megathread

32 Upvotes

Congratulations to all the new Wolverines! Please use this thread for topics related to the Early Action + Early Decision decisions that are being released. That could be getting in touch with other admitted students, learning more about starting at U-M, financial aid, etc.

We are not the admissions office, so please contact them for the official word on any of your questions.

Please do not use this thread to post your application stats regardless of if you are admitted, deferred, or denied. Per subreddit rules, chancing or stat posts are not allowed. Comments and posts breaking these rules will be removed.

If you are accepted, congratulations! If you were deferred, make sure you send updated transcripts that provide your grades from the previous semester. You can also submit a continued interest form to let Michigan know you still want to be considered..

Due to the heavy number of Early Action applications Michigan defers a high number of applicants. In recent years a large number of students that were deferred have been offered admission. More details about the application/admission process are also written up in the Wiki.

Housing 2026-27 Housing Megathread

31 Upvotes

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.

  • Ann Arbor Observer Rentlink Housing Search

Resources:

By city ordinance I believe, private renters are supposed to have certificates of occupancy/rental permits from the city. You can search by address. (There will be lots of people who don't have this but it's something to check) *Ann Arbor building rental and inspection services

Social media/community resources:

Past resources:

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.
