University of Michigan Dearborn Reviews and Ratings

• 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.

• I had friends here; mostly rent is $400 per head living by 5 people in a 2 BHK

• 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

• 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.
   

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 always wanted to do a master's, and I am passionate about AI, and US is well known for this course, so researched and applied to 5 colleges and got into 3, out of these colleges, I considered a lot of factors and decided to go to University of Michigan-Dearborn due to various reasons.

The US has been a lifelong dream for my father. He wanted to study in the US but could not because of financial restrictions. I made his dream come true. I'm a person who's very much into research and this is the country that tops in this aspect. My university is known to be one of the top institutions in the United States and the program I'll be studying in (AI) is basically the one that has a huge impact on everyone's life in the future. I wanted to be a part of the esteemed university given its rich background which would allow me to live in safe hands.

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.
