University of Michigan Residence Halls have modest accommodations. The floors have shared bathrooms designated for males and females. Availability on the dates you want is not guaranteed. Make your reservations early. The co-ops are operated by the people who live in them, requiring three to six hours of work per week from each member.
Some houses have meal plans while in others members buy food and cook individually.
All houses have fully-equipped kitchens. Members' jobs range from cooking dinner to dishwashing and housekeeping to keeping the house books or performing basic maintenance. A great advantage of co-ops is low housing costs. Along with this you get many other conveniences including free laundry facilities, TV, cable, and local telephone service, and you don't have to cook for yourself every night. Co-ops offer a comfortable, friendly atmosphere.
