    A lot of grad students live west of main street. Neighborhoods around west liberty are good areas to live at and you do not have to worry about undergrads. Most undergrads live on around packard st, hill st, and south university. You want to stay out of south of huron and east of main street if you do not want to be surrounded by undergrads.
  2. I am currently working a full-time job and attending graduate school as a full-time student. It is not easy, but it is doable. Also, I am able to do this because my boss is allowing me to work on a flexible schedule - I leave work early twice a week. I still work at least 40 hours per week, but having a flexible work schedule helps a lot. I will be finishing my masters in a couple of weeks and then no more school until September. I will be going to a different university (a way better university than the one I am currently attending), so I will see if I can still do both. If I can't manage both then I will give up work, since education is my priority. It is all about time management. Good luck.

  4. It means that the graduate school cannot verify your credentials and need additional information from the department. This can be due to a missing transcript or if you do not meet the graduate school's minimum requirements, like GPA.
  5. You can find places as low as $500, but it all depends on how close to campus you want to be. If you are an international student and do not have any pets then I would suggest to live in university housing for the first year. The bus system at UM is great, so you do not have to worry about being isolated. North Campus is more quiet than Central Campus (mostly because most undergraduates live in Central), so you don't have to worry about losing any sleep to loud crowds/parties.
  6. If you applied for the Phd program and still have not heard back from them then they will most likely reject you, but they can still offer you admission to their master program. With that said, if you applied to the MS program and still have not heard back from them then they can still admit you, but most likely without funding.
  7. Yes, usually they are unfunded. This year there is MS fellowships through the college of engineering that can cover $10k (if in-state) or $20k (if out of state) of tuition for one academic year, but if you did not hear from the department by now it means you are not nominated for the fellowship. All graduate fellowship nominations were due 3/7 and they only nominate admitted applicants, so if you were not informed of a nomination by now then it is likely that you will not get funding through a fellowship.
  8. If you haven't heard from them by now there is a great chance that they will not offer you admission to their PhD program. However, if your credentials are good, they might extend you an offer to their master program.
