I come from tropical areas and I literally have no idea how cold it could be in Ann Arbor... The apartment we are looking at is about a block away from the law school at Hill and there are bus stops nearby, so it's not a problem to go to the lab in winter. The other apt that we are interested in is loacted on Plymouth Rd, north of Island Drive apts, with bus stops outside the apt as well. How about the security in these two neighborhoods? And how convenient is it living there?

I was looking for housing at Hill street but couldn't get more info about the vicinity. I am a new international phd student, so this helps a lot! Thanks! Me and my roomie would like to live in a quiet neighborhood as well, but a walking distance to the Diag (where our labs are located) seems more appealing to us.

got my offer from Umich on Feb. 24th, and have accepted it. Yay! Have you guys made final decision yet?

That's cool! Good luck! I wish I could afford the international flight ticket to Ann Arbor. I would be glad if you could share with your experience during the recruitment weekend if my skype/phone interview is after that. I haven't heard from the graduate coordinator about my arrangement for the interview, though.

Congrats! Are you domestic or international? I haven't received any email from the umich EEB but my POI told me today that they are making final decisions on inviting to interviews so he wanted to skype with me as soon as possible. btw I'm an international student.
