You are correct, the area between South and Central Campus is mostly where undergrads live and the more buys and louder parts of town. Now, I wouldn't say Ann Arbor is particularly a crazy party town, so those neighborhoods you mentioned might be ok depending what you can tolerate. They will mostly be loud on Thursday/Friday/Saturday nights. During the day and most evenings, it shouldn't be bad. However, those neighborhoods are in the heart of Michigan Stadium street parking. So any home football games there will be tens of thousands of people parking in those neighborhoods. That is also where the streets pretty much shut down so you will never be able to drive in or out of that area pretty much all day Saturday on home games.
But that area is cheap, and if you can find some of the more secluded neighborhoods than it might be worth it. But if you are truly looking for more quiet, peaceful neighborhoods, you need to go more south (past Stadium Blvd) and more east (closer or beyond Packard St).
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.

I am an international student. But I am in US. So I will attend the on campus interview.
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.

Hi, I just heard back from umich EEB. I am super excited. In their letter, they says dress is casual. But I was told so many times I need to dress formally. I am a little bit confused.
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.

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?
