Hi Everyone!

Background:
Like all of you I'm starting to get into the housing situation in Ann Arbor (AA or A2) for Jan-Dec 2014.  I've been looking at a few places and narrowed down a few spots that look to balance convenience, amenities, and cost.  All of my identified options are located off campus.

Issue
A lot of these places are surprisingly expensive - ranging $900-$1500 per month plus utilities (add an additional +$200/month) for a one or two bedroom.  However, cost per person drops substantially if you get a roommate.

Question
Just curious if anyone has interest in being roommates for a decent 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment located off campus (unfurnished).  
If so - email or contact me and I can look more into 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartments to find potential location matches.  Also, we can start to talk individually about living habits etc just to ensure things will work out :)

Once I have a list compiled, I'll happily share it with anyone who is interested in case they also want to look into apartment options.  

Let me know, hope all of you doing well.

Beyond the Diag, a Division of Student Affairs program housed in the Dean of Students Office, would like to announce the launch of the official University of Michigan Off-Campus Housing website:http://offcampushousing.umich.edu.

The effort to establish an interactive website that would aid students in finding off-campus housing was in response to input from Central Student Government, other student leaders, and advisory boards. The new website delivers the features that students identified as necessary for a successful off-campus housing search.

We encourage you to check out the exciting new features offered on the site. The mobile-friendly website enables you to search property listings by rental price and various amenities, plus view high definition pictures of individual properties.  Featuring an interactive map, you will be able to determine a property's location in proximity to Central and North campus, in addition to local bus routes (both AAATA and U-M bus routes).

The user-friendly website includes a Roommate Finder and Message Boards accessible only to UM students, faculty, and staff. To log in, simply use your uniqname and Kerberos password. The Roommate Finder will allow you the unique opportunity to find a roommate or subtenant within the University of Michigan community.

Do you have specific questions about living off-campus or about living in Ann Arbor? Visit the Resource section for links to helpful information and resources. Among the topics included are Before You Sign A Lease, Once You Move In, Student Safety Tips, U-M Student Support Services, and Ann Arbor Area Resources. For additional information about Beyond the Diag visit http://offcampus.umich.edu.

Hi Tai
Since the students of 2014 will be leaving when we get there, is that possible to have someone make some connections in between? I think their housing condition fit us in most case, maybe we can just move in and resume their lease.
January is not a big season for new student, I am afraid there are only some very limited choices. Thank you.

Regards,
Bill from my iPad

All,

I am not sure if you all had the opportunity to review classified postings on iMPact.  The last time I checked, there were couple of ads for winter sub-lease.
