Fun for all ages at the Dawn Farm Jamboree!
Gettin' hungry just thinking about it
Central campus
Eat Here.
I am moving from East Lansing to Ann Arbor at the end of this summer. I am starting the graduate program for Mechanical Engineering at U of M, and I need to find a place to live. If you have any suggestion on looking into apartments, please let me know!!
If you can give me good website to find apartments and roommates, that helps alot!
Thank you.
I am replying from San Jose and here we use craigslist for your purposes - I noticed there's a CL in Ann Arbor - see: http://annarbor.craigslist.org/ ... look under Housing. You can post too - as usual, exercise common sense and check out everything.
ps. I spent six weeks in Ann Arbor working during the summer and found it, and the U of M campus where I used to go read, a wonderful place - difficult city to go on a diet as all the streets smell of yummy food ;=)

Ann Arbor is much more expensive than East Lansing. Mostly, off campus, students live north or south of downtown. There are loads of old crappy houses with high rents. Take a day and walk around. You will see signs on all the houses offering them to rent. See one that looks interesting and give them a call. My friend Ralph used to rent houses at Spaly Realty, but I think he has retired. There are some co-ops with cheaper living. A lot of fun neighborhoods to look at. I delivered mail south of downtown for 8 years, and I think you will find the student areas are generally safe. The street people will take your bottles and cans if you leave them around. It's a fun town, much better than East Lansing.
Accelerate quickly away from stop signs and traffic lights -- don't sit there with your
mouth open, wondering what to do. It just annoys the locals behind you. And try
not to drive the wrong way down one way streets -- sometimes we sit outside the
bars and restaurnats taking bets on how many confused Ohio drivers or people
from Farmington Hills will turn South on Ashley. My fondest memory occurs every Spring with the students (most of 'em,
anyway) leave.
If you've never been to Michigan, you need to know about Meijer's. Imagine a grocery store that also sells (a lot of) clothing, CDs, books, music, furniture, toys, electronic equipment, automobile accessories, and lawn and garden equipment. Now imagine it being open 24 hours a day.
If it's 3am and you just -really need- to swing by the store to pick up milk, frozen pizza, a bookcase, a can of Fix-Flat, pictures for your living room, the latest Madonna CD, some underwear, a couple of cans of paint, and a barbecue grill, there's no better place. Since I've been living in California, Meijer's is, oddly, one of the things I miss the most. Having a one-stop store which keeps pace with my sometimes odd schedule was just amazing.
There are a fair number of people from India in Ann Arbor and, as a result, lots of great Indian restaurants. Raja Rani is one popular spot located inside what was once probably a large, private home. Tandoori chicken, kari (vegetables with a mild ellow sauce) and mattar alu (peas and potatoes with a sweet curry sauce).
Jerusalem Gardern is a good cheap eats. Best falafel in town! They also serve, salads (tabbouli, hommous, baba ganoug,etc.), rice and salads, vegetarian sandwhiches (falafel, hommous, tabouli, baba, grape leave, etc.), non-vegetarian sandwiches (grape leave, kibbeh, kafta kabob, etc.) and combination plates. Only downer, it's really hot in there in the summer, but just order it to go and sit outside. Open Mon-Fri 10-9, Sat 11-9 & Sun 12-8. Falafel with hommous. So good and only $3.50.
If you're traveling in Ann Arbor with children make sure to stop off at the Hands-On Museum. It has four floors featuring displays on the human body, the natural world and technology. Open Tues-Fri 10-5:30, Sat 10-5 and Sun 1-5. Admission $5, children under 12 $3.
