If you understand A2, you know that housing is frustrating, expensive, and the maintenance of many of the houses and apartments leaves a lot to be desired. HOWEVER, Saga and the staff have been very responsive to maintenance requests, questions about payments, etc. The apartment was in very good condition at the beginning, we did have some maintenance requests, but they were fixed within the first day. Nice and central to campus, lots of amenities nearby (CVS/Target/bus stops/food), easy to get to North Campus.

It really makes me wonder how they are still in business. Perhaps the endless fees they charge you like a $25 "showing fee" just for them to show the apartment to potential tenants helps keeps their business afloat. I've been in contact with an accounting assistant from Prime Student Housing for a few weeks to sublease my unit and I have been met with nothing but condescending and disrespectful responses from a sad excuse of an assistant. If you're looking to get screwed over and get charged a fee for that, this is the place to go. If not, stay far away from this student housing services.

I learned about ECIR from a friend and I instantly fell in love with the place. It not only checked these parameters but was super convenient in terms of location (important criteria during brutal Michigan winters). It is walking distance from the business school, the school of education and the school of public policy. Further, it is barely couple of blocks away from the frat house, pubs/ bars and restaurants where most parties happen (yet not at all noisy!) I live in a 2 bedroom apartment which is clean, spacious and well-furnished with latest equipments in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living room. Besides, there is always Stoney (the go to guy) to help you with anything you may need. In terms of the community, ECIR is awesome! I have made some great life long friends (outside my business school) from around the world over numerous meals, activities and games like Mafia. People here are non fussy, down to earth and very friendly. Festivals such as Chinese New Year, Graduation Prom, International Fair and Diwali are celebrated here. Also, I love the community meals that happen every week where you get to taste amazing international cuisines made by fellow residents (Yes, free food!). Jessica & team do a wonderful job of taking care of not only your daily needs but also organizing various fun events. (We are all Jessie Lovers here!). Finally, this year Munger was clearly the hype but I decided to not follow the blind trend as ECIR is way more than just a community living. It takes a lot for any large building to be anything like ECIR, given the kind of people it attracts, the cute little personal community it is and various diverse events and activities it hosts for its residents and international students while also being an awesome housing. I love ECIR, it is indeed the best thing that happened to me after Ross here. I would highly recommend to people considering living around Tappan, State, Packard, Hill, Church, Brown or Main St.

I accepted a random email I got saying I'd be selected to move in early thinking it was an offer, but I missed the part in the email where it said I'd still have to pay a $500 move-in early fee... for an apt I'd already been paying for. The bathrooms on the ground floor were always out of toilet paper. Leasing office was always closing early. They had security monitoring the community areas but not the front door where packages and food were being stolen and not the alley where the parking was. If you're going to pay for an over priced new build in AA, this one is your worst option because of its proximity to the transit center and a liquor store.

Living at The Standard as a subletter was a huge disappointment. From the start, the move-in…read moreprocess was a nightmare--there were little to no bins or carts available to help with moving, which made things extremely stressful. Once inside, I quickly realized that most of the amenities are either closed, dirty, or barely functioning, despite what management advertises. The elevators constantly break down, and the building often schedules unnecessary maintenance checks where staff just let themselves into your apartment with zero warning. On top of that, many of the maintenance workers are rude and unhelpful, which just adds to the frustration. The leasing office is almost never open, and trying to get help from anyone is next to impossible. If you lose your phone or it dies, good luck getting home--you need an electronic key to scan into every part of the building. This becomes a serious safety and accessibility issue. The location is also concerning, with a high presence of aggressive and unstable homeless individuals right outside the building. There's zero real security presence, and management does nothing to protect residents. Because of this, you can't safely order Doordash or receive packages--they often get stolen or tampered with. And let's talk about cost: you'll get charged for just existing in this place. It's extremely overpriced for what you get, and they'll find any reason to tack on more fees. Overall: Do not live here if you value your peace, safety, money, or time. The Standard is all hype with none of the follow-through. Subletting here was one of the worst housing decisions I've made.

Early last year, they switched the fob system for the front gate to an app authentication system *without* informing the residents first, which left me and a few other residents stuck outside the front door late at night. They didn't offer any apology for this. Instead, they waited two more days before sending out the notice to all the residents. They are also very unresponsive and irresponsible with emails. They sent out a move-out guide email and requested responses. I responded and asked a few follow-up questions. No response from the management team. Resent the response four days later, no response again. A month later, I got the same move-out guide email, verbatim, in my mailbox. Except for this time, the manager CC'ed every single resident that's moving out, showing no respect whatsoever for the privacy of their residents.

So, I can only speak as a UM grad student who visited one of my classmates who lives at Munger. But…read morecompared to my experiences of on-campus housing at my undergrad institution, I was so amazed by what I witnessed at Munger. I truly wish I would have actually considered living at Munger. Lobby level offers various room for studying and entertainment such as karaoke, watching movies, foosball, ping pong, etc. The floors in between that and the rooftop are the units. The only downside is that you have, like, seven roommates? But each has their own room, a desk, shelving, a closet that's tiny for my clothes but decent for anyone else's wardrobe, a queen-sized bed (!!), and private bathroom. All units come with a washer and dryer, two stoves, two TVs, all utilities included, and I'm sure I'm missing other in-unit amenities, too. My favorite part is the rooftop. There is a convenience store. More study rooms but with a gorgeous view of the whole campus and Ann Arbor. A small gym. But most importantly, a rooftop track! Imagine running there overlooking the gorgeous view, which I did immediately after I visited my classmate. There is even seating outside for those that want to lounge and get a tan while you see the runners jog around the track. This is hands down my favorite place to run now and although I'm not a resident, it's very easy to get to the rooftop without needing proper Mcard access before late evening hours. I live outside of campus and despite how impressed I am with Munger, I do see some cons. Despite having your own rooms, I'd still feel weird living with seven other people. There is no close parking lot so if you have a car, you would still need to buy a parking pass. Again, I can't speak to how it's like living here. But after visiting my classmate, I'm regretting not signing up.
