Sciences Programs at University of Michigan Dearborn

• 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

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.

I have a UG background in Mech Engg. and I chose to go ahead with a Masters in Engineering Management course since I did not want to get into a very technical field hence I chose the University of Michigan since it has a good blend of mechanical and business courses without a very technical or Computer science courses. The fees is affordable and they also give a scholarship. The housing and accommodations are also affordable compared to other cities in the US. Texas also is a good option but the summer gets really bad there. University of Michigan Dearborn is a sub-university to the main campus in Ann Arbor which is a highly reputed and expensive university but Dearborn is also a good one in terms of education. There might not be a lot to do outside of academic terms but it's a good place to be. Career-wise - the students have to build their skills and apply for jobs on their own.

Overall a pleasant experience. Lot of indian students, very helpful seniors, good faculty, good place for opportunities.

The University of Michigan places great value on its diverse and inclusive community. Students frequently encounter a variety of perspectives and backgrounds within their peer group, fostering a dynamic and culturally vibrant atmosphere.
