Munger or North Campus Off-Campus Apartments
I'm an incoming architecture grad student. I applied for both Munger and Northwood on-campus housing. I wanted Northwood, but I got into Munger. I was planning on bringing my car, but it doesn't seem to be any student parking around Munger, and the bus routes to north campus/architecture don't seem to be that great. Also, paying around $1200 a month to have 5-6 roommates and a windowless bedroom is absurd. I feel like I could get something better on the north campus, where I wanted to be anyway. I am worried that I started looking too late, I've lived in dorms on campus si I didn't realize that so many places would have such limited availability. I called around to a few places this morning, and some were already full.
Willowtree seems to have plenty of availability, which is slightly concerning. I saw a post from a few years ago complaining about laundry and a bug problem. I called and talked to the property manager today. He said they were making some changes, and he hasn't heard any complaints about bugs. The reviews on Google seem pretty bad as well.
I was also looking at Huron River Flats; they don't have a website, and no one answered the phone. They did have a lot of information online. I am curious of anyone knows if I would be renting the whole unit and would have to find my own roommate, or if I just rent my room and get matched up with a roommate.
I also called the courtyard and Huron Towers, and they were full or only had one bedroom. If anyone has lived in any of their places, please reach out!! I have to sign the Munger Contract tonight, or I lose it!
