. Our residence halls are grouped into three neighborhoods (Central, Hill, and North) and first-years may find themselves assigned to any of these Wherever your room, you’ll be in a hall that’s nearly all first-years just like you, so everyone is in the same boat: figuring things out and exploring campus together

TRANSFER STUDENTS

. It takes just a few minutes, but you’ll be glad you did

Housing MICHIGAN HOUSING

Due to the ever-evolving nature of COVID-related guidance, we encourage you to refer to the U-M Housing website (housing.umich.edu) and the campus Maize and Blueprint website (campusblueprint.umich.edu) for the most current information and announcements

FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS At Michigan, we don’t assign your housing based on your area of study, so every hall is a mix of academic interests

ROOMMATES Most students share a room with at least one roommate — and most students have never shared a residence hall room before, so rooming together is a new experience The key to success? Sharing expectations up front So whether you’re rooming blind, with your kindergarten best friend, or someone you connected with on social media, we recommend using a roommate agreement . Your resident advisor or hall director can get you set up with a short simple agreement, so you and your roommate can exchange expectations

Spaces for transfer students are limited, so be sure you’re exploring all options, like the university’s off-campus housing office, Beyond The Diag. housing.umich.edu

. Many landlords and property managers offer short-term and single-semester leases, so if you’re looking for something shorter than 12 months, include that in your search If you are a transfer student, you’re in luck — most providers have a good selection available, even in the spring and summer, and may be offering deals to lease their remaining rooms Visit our website, or contact us at beyondthediag@umich.edu if you have any questions about living off campus at the University of Michigan

BEYOND THE DIAG RESOURCES OUTREACH AND EDUCATION Beyond the Diag aims to educate off-campus students about their rights and responsibilities as renters, share various resources, and provide opportunities for connection and belonging . Neighborhood ambassadors — student employees who live in the near-to-campus neighborhoods — host social and educational events throughout the year, serve as liaisons to the campus community, and promote Beyond the Diag resources

OFF-CAMPUS STUDENT ASSISTANCE The Dean of Students Case Management Team serves as unbiased third parties to help offcampus students address their concerns, navigate challenges, and get connected to helpful resources Learn more about how the Dean of Students Office can provide students with support at incidentsdeanofstudents.umich.edu/critical-

Student housing is plentiful in Ann Arbor, and it can be overwhelming to know where to start Go to offcampushousing.umich.edu for current listings with our partner providers, as well as lots of valuable advice about how to find the right place for you. The website includes advice and information for when you’re house-hunting, as well as trouble-shooting tips

The U-M Off-Campus Housing website ( umich.eduoffcampushousing. ) can be used to search housing listings, find a roommate, browse message boards, and take advantage of a list of online resources for living off campus U-M does not manage off-campus properties, but rather provides this resource for students to search local off-campus housing options offcampushousing.umich.edu

Spirituality can mean different things to different people, depending on our world-view, religious traditions, or cultural background . There are a number of student organizations around campus that support the specific religious/spiritual needs and cultural identity of students as well as provide leadership opportunities and meaningful communal involvement Many of these student organizations have professional staff and corresponding members of the clergy as advisors find if there is a community or organization that meets your needs, check out the webpage for the Association of Religious Counselors: umich.edu/~religion/index.html student can also found Maize

Student Support VALUES OF A VICTOR

For more than two centuries, students, staff, and faculty at the University of Michigan have engaged with issues of social justice, both on and off campus, toward the betterment of all communities . That proud tradition of activism is just as vibrant today as in decades long past, bolstered by our commitment to academic freedom, free speech, and the idea that the university is one of society’s primary sites for critical reflection . We value education, public service, and developing leaders We value diversity, equity, and inclusion We value healthy relationships and respect for all Together, we can create and maintain a respectful and inclusive environment that provides the support and opportunities necessary for each member of our diverse community to prosper and thrive Here are some tips and ideas from U-M Student Life: REFLECT What does respect mean to you? How do you wish to be treated? How can you treat others with dignity and respect? BE OPEN View new experiences and ideas as valuable learning opportunities . BE PATIENT Take the time to get the full story and try to understand others . LISTEN Don’t interrupt or jump to conclusions Give others the chance to share their point of view . INCLUDE Make an effort to include others — especially if they are different from you BE FLEXIBLE Learn how to adapt to changing conditions . Be open to doing things differently BE FAIR Don’t play favorites . Treat everyone the same regardless of their role or position . FIND COMMON GROUND Cultivate understanding by learning what you have in common with others . RESPECTFULLYCOMMUNICATE Be aware of your tone when communicating (in writing and verbally) with others . Do you sound angry, defensive, or condescending? GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE

Most people have good intentions . Everyone makes mistakes . Resist the urge to judge others They may be able to learn from your perspective SHARE YOUR PERSPECTIVE Let others know how you feel

. Share your ideas and experiences ASK OTHERS TO SHARE THEIR PERSPECTIVE Encourage others to share their perspective with you . AGREE TO DISAGREE Even when you strongly disagree with someone’s viewpoint, try to remain composed and have a civil discussion . You may never agree with them or change their mind . That’s OK You don’t have to like a person or their ideas in order to treat them respectfully
