A Campus Home

What are the benefits to living on the University of Michigan campus? Community, for one. At an institution of more than 40,000 students, it’s nice to have a place to call home, somewhere you can learn the lessons of living together with others, and build real friendships, some of which will become lifelong. Nearly 96% of first-year students live on campus in one of the University’s residential communities—they find a quality, life-enhancing experience. Social and academic support is available through live-in staff or resident assistants (RAs) who will be there to help you through any number of personal, intellectual, social, and life issues, challenges, and decisions. Residence life is also fun. Within the halls, community activities like movie nights and cultural events bring people together. Leadership opportunities abound: residence hall students can participate in Hall Councils, Multicultural Councils, and the Residence Hall Association. Such positions initiate social, educational, and recreational programs have a direct impact on the quality of life in your hall. Wireless Internet access, community centers, laundry rooms, close proximity to U-M buses, and dining options with cuisine from all corners of the globe and in-hall cafes, like Café ConXion or the Blue Apple—residence hall life at the University of Michigan is a unique experience.
