Bachelor of Science in Architecture
Because the University of Michigan is so large, we can only guarantee residence hall (dormitory) living for incoming freshman students. Generally, sophomores, juniors, and seniors live in Off-Campus Housing locations (either apartments or houses). Off-campus does not mean off-campus in the sense that it is not located near campus; Most off campus housing is actually within campus. It simply means that the properties are not owned and maintained by the University. Instead, they are privately owned apartments and homes managed by landlords and management companies.

Incoming LS&A students in Pre-Architecture are advised to select a Central Campus residence hall location, as most of the pre-requisite courses will be held on Central Campus. There is no specific residence hall for architecture students. Students studying all different disciplines are intermixed with one another in every residence hall. Once a student transfers into the Architecture program, almost all of his/her classes will be in the Art and Architecture building (on North Campus), so students might want to consider apartments around the north campus area for their junior/senior years. However, some architecture students live on central campus and there is a University bus system that runs between Central and North Campus every 5 minutes, so it is possible to get around without much hassle, no matter where you live.
