- The main thing i loved about my college is the professors who are extremely supportive and super approachable ,always ready to guide the students beyond academics.for example my mentor Professor Khouloud Gaaloul has always been a major inspiration in helping me grow in research as well as gaining knowledge
- Secondly the campus life here is so awesome , vibrant and convenient since iam living on campus it makes me easily access library ,labs and study spaces available at the university anytime
- The close student to faculty connection is one of the best parts of UofM dearborn Since its a Smaller campus when compared to other Colleges around the place , we can easily get to know the professors personally which really helps
Dislikes
- The first and foremost thing is the location of the campus which is so remote so nothing is nearby to explore you have to take few busses to visit certain places and buy your essentials
- Secondly i mentioned you have to take busses to go to places but sadly public transportation is poor in dearborn making it hard to commute for essentials without a car
- The academic focus is heavily centered around automotive field so students like me from other specializations like AI ,CS ,and others can find fewer research options that align with their field and interests
Campus Life
- There are two campuses in my university, one is Fairlane Campus, which is near Henry Ford College, north side of the main campus, and the other is the Main Campus, which is the central campus
- There are decent amount of facilities available on my campus which is a really good Library and huge wellness center which has a ice ring huge basket ball court and a gym ?major campus festival includes wolverines day, friendsgiving etc and personally i know few clubs but there are tons of clubs especially for indians and international students some examples are IGSA indian graduate student association SAB students activities board and AIC artificial intelligence clubs like this there are tons of clubs.
- There are tons of cultural events happening on the campus, from Ethnicity Day to Diwali, Pongal, and Holi, etc IGSA takes care of all indian festivals celebrated on campus.
Accommodation
- I opted for on-campus housing, which is at the Union, which I booked directly through the online housing portal, and the entire process was smooth
- The rent for my housing, which is a 4x4 private bed and bath, comes around 840$, which includes WIF, electricity, etc Also, we have a 24-hour Gym. ?There were no challenges since I opted for on-campus housing, and the recommendation for future incoming students is to go with the on-campus housing cause there will be no hassle
- The accommodation is right opposite the campus, so it's extremely convenient for me to access the university. Most of the indians don't stay on campus; they stay in Fairlane Meadows, which is another housing company close by to the campus, but not walkable. It's quite far, but the university provides a shuttle for them.

Likes
- Small Campus size (more convenience)
- Very affordable tuition fees (with scholarship)
- Very affordable cost of Living at Dearborn, Michigan
Dislikes
- Very less on-campus opportunities (given the small size)
- Might not be suitable for Data Science / Computer Science students as freshers
- Winters can get very cold and dark as early as 5pm
Campus Life
- University of Michigan Dearborn is a standalone University and has just one campus.
- The University hosts a full size basketball ground ice skating rink engineering lab buildings with robotics chemical engineering automotive lab powertrain lab and a lot more. University has its own library it has medical services too.
- University host of plethora of events from Indian events like Diwali Holi to American events like Thanksgiving Halloween party and overall the cultural of the university is very lively and welcoming.
- University does have some application with the Ann arbor campus where they have teams off ice hockey basketball and soccer however they are not very well known to my knowledge.
Accommodation
- There's a student community called Indian graduate student association that was the first point of contact which helped me get accommodation and help to the airport pickups One can reach out to them at umdigsa@gmail.com.
- As I have my channel earlier monthly rent for individual stay is about $800 however shared accommodation can get as low as $390. For $800 you cash furnished apartment in a student elementary shared accommodation however you are just provide with kitchen utilities and the rest apartment is unfurnished.
- With the help of Indian graduate student association the process of accommodation and the airport pickups was extremely streamlined.
- There are some good communities called Fairlane Meadows and Fairlane Woods where majority of students are accommodated and the university shuttle goes through these places.
- These accommodations are within three miles of the university












Likes
- The college has a very diverse student community which helps students learn about different cultures and ideas.
- There are many on-campus opportunities like internships, clubs, and volunteer work that help students grow.
- The curriculum offers a variety of courses, giving students the chance to study what interests them the most.
Dislikes
- Many courses have limited seats, so it’s hard to get into the classes you want.
- There are very few research opportunities and on-campus jobs for students.
- The library and campus transportation are not available on weekends, which makes it hard for students to study or travel.
Campus Life
- The university has three campuses: Dearborn, Ann Arbor, and Flint. I attend the Dearborn campus. It has all the facility like library, sports centers, and medical services.
- There are many student clubs and student activities to join as per your interest. You can play sports like baseball, football, Hockey or chess.
Accommodation
- I chose off-campus accommodation—Fairlane Meadows. I found it through a group on Facebook. Some seniors also helped me to find it.
- The total rent is $2000 per month for the whole apartment. It includes water, electricity, and Wi-Fi. We are four members in the apartment so my share is $500 per month. Apart from that, the groceries cost around $100 each month.
- Finding a good place was not tough. I joined Indian student groups online and that helped me connect with other students who need roommates.
- For future students, I recommend reaching out to seniors on LinkedIn. They can guide well.
- My accommodation is 2 miles from campus. It is easy to commute to the college with the college shuttle bus. Most Indian students are staying here in Fairlane Meadows. This makes it feel like home.









Likes
- Culture is amazing over here.
- Faculties are really good and they also teach in Ann Arbor.
- Field job opportunities are really good.
Dislikes
- Lesser on campus opportunities.
- Campus is little small than expected.
- The funds are very less for researches.
Campus Life
- There are always some or other events happening on the campus by one or the other club, and I would say if you attend all of them, then you should forget about your studies.
- They celebrate every major festival on campus from different countries and cultures. The library is amazing, and I used to study a lot over there. You have a gym, pickleball, ice skating ring, soccer, and football field if you are interested. You can go on hikes as well, which are very beautiful.
Accommodation
For Indian students, you can connect to the Indian Graduate Student Association (IGSA) to get off-campus accommodation which is cheaper than the Union (on-campus accommodation). You can connect with them through Facebook. If you want to stay at the Union, you can go to the website and do what is needed.
Likes
- I like that student to professor ratio is lower.
- I like that the campus strength is not too much.
- There is campus transportation that is easily available.
Campus Life
There are 3 campuses and I am on 2nd campus, I do like the academics and extracurriculars as well, there are events going on every day, all the time so it is fun.
Accommodation
I am living outside the campus in a community, it is very easy to find accommodation and there are college dorms too, so it depends on the budget and your choice.
Likes
- The university is spoon-feeding us every single thing right from picking us up from our flats to providing unlimited groceries twice a month. The perks that we have been getting from the university in terms of academics and clubs are at their highest levels.
Dislikes
- There's nothing I really dislike about my university at this very moment. The only con I would like to mention is that we cannot get an on-campus job until we complete our first semester. Only a few very lucky people can become Research Assistants in the first semester.
Campus Life
There are over 150 registered student clubs in the campus and all of these clubs are extremely active. Hence, we get to have activities almost every single day. They are engaging and I'm loving my time here as these activities are more stress-busters and relieve us from the academic pressure. My college has 3 campuses, Ann Arbor, Flint and Dearborn. In my campus, there is a 4-floor library which doesn't look like it opened in 1955. It's totally up-to-date. We have a Henry Ford hospital right next to the campus and as the entire country might know, this college is extremely famous for the sports teams it has for basketball, rugby, soccer and baseball. I'm sorry but I do not think I can list all 150+ clubs of my campus. There are engaging extracurricular activities like game and karaoke events, dance nights, etc. The Student Activities Board is an active club that I'm planning to be a part of. They are also taking us to Cedar Point in Ohio as a one-day amusement park trip :)
Accommodation
We're staying at Fairlane Woods in a 2-bedroom 1.5 Bathroom apartment. We are a room of 4 people and the rent costs $2085 per month. It is a very huge room (1300 sqft in size!). The groceries cost around $150 per month, electricity bill $150 per month and $60 wifi in SuiteSolutions with a speed of 350mbps.
Likes
- Small college - smaller class with fewer students helps prof give more attention to you.
Dislikes
- Michigan's climate can sometimes be extreme
Campus Life
There are several activities and sports offered when the weather is favourable. The library is open till 10 pm. There are Fall and winter fests, and technical academic clubs to join. Medical is a little difficult in the US as appointments are given for weeks later and the cost is too much.
Accommodation
Usually, students share an apartment - 4 or 5 in a 2bhk. It depends on the student and their personal budget. Electricity and Wi-Fi are separate. It costs around 500$ per person in Michigan in this case. And groceries separate.
Likes
- Affordable and best Automotive program in the US. Good location for internships and auto industries
- Job opportunities nearby and the course curriculum. I had the privilege to choose whichever course I wanted, tried out all domains, pretty easy exams, good faculty.
Dislikes
- it is a very small campus and it is not very happening. wish there were better campus engagement activities. I didn't like the fact that the faculty did not care if the students attended the class or not.
Campus Life
Campus life is not so great. There are a lot of clubs and events going on though, but not a lot of people participate. It is a satellite campus, very small and does not so many facilities. It has a good library and a good gym, nothing fancy.
Accommodation
There is student housing, but students usually prefer off-campus housing. There are good and safe communities just near the campus- Fairlane Woods, Fairlane Meadows and Fairlane Town Centre apts.
Likes
- It is one of the best college in the Michigan with Good Placements.
- I like several things such as the recreational facilities which consists the fitness center, sports fields, and gyms for students to engage in physical activities and sports. Then there is the 'Mardigian Library' which serves as a primary hub for research and academic study, offering an extensive collection of books, journals, databases, and various resources. In addition, the library provides study areas, computer labs, and support from librarians to assist students in their academic pursuits. Furthermore the health services which offers the health clinics or services to deliver fundamental medical care, health education, and counseling to students. The best thing for transportation is 'Shuttle Service' Which is completely free to students to travel to and from campus.
Dislikes
- Talking about the weakness about the college the Pantry Services are not so good, even the commuting problems, transferring of the credits is another issue. Tuition and Financial Aid is bit challenging like some students may find the cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid to be challenging.
Campus Life
Campus life in the college is really superb! there are several events which takes place in the campus.
Accommodation
I am staying in the Fairlane Woods Apartments near the college itself. Facilities like In-built heater, All necessary kitchen items are provided here.
