WE’RE ALLTIGERS

Because our student body is so large and diverse, finding your place in it can feel

daunting. That’s why living on campus is such a great choice for so many people.

The U of M takes pride in creating a culturally diverse and inclusive learning

community. We want everyone to feel at home here.

When you live on campus, making friends is easier. Getting involved in school activities becomes less intimidating. You’re right in the middle of it all — people, events, classes, 24-hour labs, libraries, and so much more. Wake up 20 minutes before class starts and still be on time. Walk down a hallway and meet a new friend.

Everything you need is right here, from great food to free Wi-Fi and

laundry services to cultural events and student activities. You don’t have to worry

about the hassles of traffic or parking. Our free Blue Line shuttle (with stops near all

residence halls) moves you around campus easily. And 24-hour patrols and guest

check-in procedures enhance your safety. More than anything, life on campus is

loaded with new experiences that can’t be replicated anywhere else. Ask anyone

living here, and they’ll tell you — residence life really lets you Plug into the Blue.

Statistics show that students who live on campus have higher GPAs. They’re also more likely to attend class and graduate on time.

EAT HEREWhether it’s a snack or an entire meal, we keep up with what’s

popular and in demand, including ethnic and vegetarian

choices. Sit and dine in our all-you-can-eat cafeteria or stop

by one of our popular retail brands for meals to go.

Sign up for one of several meal plan options when you apply for

housing. Off-campus students can sign up anytime online or at

the Tiger Den.

We know affordability is important. If you

compare all the costs, living on campus actually saves you more. All your payments

are consolidated into one, so you avoid the

inconvenience of paying separate bills.

You’re only responsible for your portion

of your living situation (no chasing down

roommates for rent). No surprise bills, no

hassles. Just one single fee.

Whether you’re interested in a traditional room or sharing an apartment with friends, the U of M has a living space for you.
