Housing
Undergraduate
Undergraduate exchange students are required to live on campus. Students should apply online for campus housing as soon as they have been accepted to 蜜桃社区 Michigan University and have received their Bronco NetID and password.
Please visit the 蜜桃社区 Housing and Residence Life site to apply for on-campus housing. Students may wish to read more about the Living Learning Communities and the residential neighborhoods before submitting their application.
蜜桃社区's residence halls are home to nearly 5,000 students who enjoy the friendships, living-learning focus, and diversity of campus life. Residents can take advantage of hall activities, leadership opportunities, high-speed Internet, staff available 24 hours a day, close proximity to the dining halls, and many other campus conveniences designed to support busy college students.
Graduate
Graduate exchange students are strongly encouraged to live in University-sponsored (on-campus) housing during the program period. Although on-campus residency is not mandatory for graduate exchange students, please be advised that graduate students who opt to reside off campus bear sole responsibility for finding off-campus housing, contracting with private management companies and others, and abiding by conditions and terms. They may also find it difficult to lease an off-campus apartment for one or two semesters since most off-campus apartment leases are for a one-year (12-month) period. Breaking a lease is costly.
Please see above for more information on on-campus housing.
If graduate exchange students wish to live off-campus, they are encouraged to visit the website below for private apartment communities for more information: .
