Thanks for the video. Nice work. Class of ‘98 with a kiddo starting there next year. We’ll watch it again together.

[@LISIA_PUBLICZNIE]

So helpful! I got in for a semester abroad and was so confused. Thank U❤️

[@TY9941_]

This brings back so many memories! My gf lived at Markley and hated the bathrooms, especially when she would poop. A renovation is much needed in those

[@karencarnes487]

I'm the mom with a million question! She is graduating from h.s. in a week. She will then be going to a summer orientation are June 24-your crying I'm not crying I have so many questions. Food plan? She said she got her housing letter and has to unlimited food plan for $3k.Is that for any dorm? I have to re-watch your segment about that. Will microwave and fridge?

[@MaddyKim]

Most people get the unlimited basic meal plan which gets you everywhere. Microwaves are around the dorms, some people bring a mini fridge.

[@gunarchy]

are the theme housing preferences super competitive? I'm not 100% set on an MLC (if I even get into one) and am unsure about the RC, and I *really* do not want to get stuck on north campus :(

[@MaddyKim]

Yes competitive, you should apply

[@ruinedbow4990]

Are 4 person rooms only up on north campus? I'll be going as a freshman and I requested a 4 person suite.

[@MaddyKim]

I have not been to a 4 person suite or inside every dorm, but here is some info from the housing website: housing.umich.edu/residence-halls-comparison/

[@MohAlam06]

Is it required for all freshmen to dorm? I live like 40 mins away from Umich

[@MaddyKim]

Not sure, I would contact Housing!

[@courtneymcleod8903]

what are your opinions on single dorms?? i know everyone says you’ll get lonely in a single but i feel like i would really like space to myself and can’t decide

[@MaddyKim]

I personally really liked having a roommate! I had a single for a semester in my sorority this year and it was v lonely and I did not like it. Highly recommend getting a roommate. Even if you guys don't get along, I feel like it's good to learn how to compromise w others

[@ayantubedaso3041]

Are the dorms split by the year your in? Like if I live in West quad will my floor be all freshman or the whole building ?

[@MaddyKim]

Anyone can live anywhere, no matter your year. North Quad and Stockwell have been non-freshmen, but that has changed after COVID so idk for sure

[@Helen-no1zj]

Hi Maddy was wondering if you guys have dorm tours? Rly curious about what the rooms look like. Thanks for this vid it really helped, as always!

[@MaddyKim]

I didn't do a legit dorm tour but you can kinda see it in my move in vlog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpjcgnt-rcaFl8U Move out vlog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHiTgaN-haaHmdE Also week in the life: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHiTgaN-haaHmdE also a Markely dorm here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfckH6ApZerZ7M

[@MaddyKim]

Even in the same dorm/floor, each room looks slightly different!

[@hyungjunkim7503]

Would you still reccomend central campus dorms if you are going to the engineering school/cs up north?

[@MaddyKim]

You don't really get to choose, but you will have classes on central even as an engineering/CS student

[@katiemaraldo1305]

What did you request exactly on your housing form that put you in West Quad?

[@MaddyKim]

Nothing that you put on your form determines where you end up other than the all girls dorm preference. idk what I put I just didn't put all girls dorm.

[@katiemaraldo1305]

update: thank you so much for this video! i was just accepted into mcsp in west quad and i will hear back for the multicultural community in early june! so helpful :)

[@MaddyKim]

@@katiemaraldo1305 Congrats! West is BESTTT

[@Stella-qj8vp]

Does Sqaud have AC in dorms now? Hope for ur reply😭😭

[@MaddyKim]

No A/C in south quad!

[@ayantubedaso3041]

Also do most dorms come with a stove on the floors?

[@MaddyKim]

No stove, just a microwave on each floor. There is a communal kitchen on the main floor/lounge tho

[@Aa-st6ml]

Which learning communities/themed communities get to live in west quad? (Also thanks so much for these videos! They're so helpful)

[@MaddyKim]

Living Business, Michigan Community Scholars Program (MCSP) and multicultural. Video with more details coming soon!

[@Aa-st6ml]

@@MaddyKim Awesome! thanks!

[@MaddyKim]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZOZeqRnmsqteJI new vid!

[@katiemaraldo1305]

If you request the ones w a private bathroom as a freshman, will you most likely get put in West Quad since you're paying more?

[@MaddyKim]

No, there are rooms w private bathrooms in all dorms.

[@emmagorbe2548]

Mojo has AC and I promise the cookies are usually so good but they didn’t make them this year:(

[@learnmore4576]

How hard is it for a freshman to get a single dorm or a single room in a suite?

[@MaddyKim]

I'm not sure, I did not know any freshman who had a single

[@MJ-pl8lh]

I got placed into bursley and everyone is telling me it’s literally the worst😫

[@MaddyKim]

Don't worry! North gets a bad rap but people make really great friends in the dorms!

[@MJ-pl8lh]

@@MaddyKim how is your experience with a double room? I’ve asked for a single but didn’t get one.

[@MaddyKim]

@@MJ-pl8lh I LOVED having a roommate! It's a great way to make friends and meet more people! Don't get a single as a freshmen bc it's harder to meet ppl when you're living alone!

[@MJ-pl8lh]

@@MaddyKim I’m actually not a freshman but got accepted as transfer student so that’s gonna be hard. But still what’s ur best advice to make new friends in dorms? what should I expect at bursley? anything’s that i must bring specially since I’m moving in winter semester?

[@MaddyKim]

@@MJ-pl8lh Keep your door open and try to talk to ppl! I've never been in Bursley so whatever Vanessa said is what I know. Get a parka and boots!

[@marianaferaz9]

Are you living in-campus now or is it closed because of Corona?

[@MaddyKim]

I am in a sorority house. On 1/2 of the freshmen can stay in the dorms for this semester, so the other half either have apartments/houses on campus or stayed home.

[@karencarnes487]

My "baby" just got accepted, filled out the housing form, and is talking to a couple of other people about rooming. My questions were, what dining plan do you have ? She answered: I don't know, assuming you go into the dining plans.I shared your sub to her.

[@MaddyKim]

Do the cheapest dining hall plan and you can upgrade from there if necessary. I did the cheapest one and didn't have any issues!

[@snazzyharshit]

Mam I want to apply in this university but I don't know what is the procedure it's just I completed diploma in mechanical engineering and I want to apply for Btech in aerospace engineering stuff let me know if you have any information about it.😁
