Advice for University of Michigan Ann Arbor

[zap1729]

Hey,

 

I got accepted into the Applied Masters of Statistics at UMich for Fall 2013. I have a couple of queries and I was hoping I could get good advice here.

1. I'm an international student, and have not been offered any funding. What are my chances of getting a TA position? 

2. One of my major concerns is housing. Could someone please tell me about the cost of off campus housing and how does it compare to on-campus housing?

 

Thank you.

I just visited UMich, and can offer the following advice:

 

1. My understanding is that if you speak and read english well, a TA position is very likely.

2. Your best bet here is to check out listings on craigslist.com, or simply look online for houses for rent in the ann arbor region near the university.  My guess is that these won't be too expensive, but the best way to find out is to simply get on google and search.

Does the TA position at umich come with a full tuition waiver?
