Social security welfare, new deal cultural programs, minimum wage laws, 4 terms as president, attempt to undermine the power of the Supreme Court, government control of power companies, and coerced charity all led to unprecedented government interference and growth. FDR did more to damage the Constitution, democracy, and capitalism than any other American in the 20th century, bar none. The Democrats' greatest hero was a blatant Socialist and a threat to America. Under FDR's dictatorship, the world saw the rise of Hitler, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, increasing American meddling in foreign affairs, and repeated intelligence failures by FDR himself that ultimately led to the Cold War.

Sparky I am disappointed at the unfounded arguments you present and the blatant insults you spew about Reagan. In bipartisan politics it is unfortunate that there are those among us who don't think before they open their mouth, saying any unfounded thing to discredit and smear the opposition. Breaking the air traffic controllers strike was necessary for the safety of travelers, and Reagan began a new policy with the USSR that involved open communication with Gorbachev while staunchly opposing the immorality of absolutism and Marxism. He also denied knowledge of weapons trafficking and was never found responsible. I won't defend his AIDS policies, as I disagree with them, but when has there ever been a president who has been beyond all criticism? Reagan is definately with FDR as one of the top two presidents of the century.

One more post, cause I need a study break!
I agree with most everything said already with a few observations:
I think it is really easy for us to say the new curriculum is good, great, orgasmic, whatever. We don’t really know any better because it is the only curriculum we’ve had. It did seem successful with the exception of embryology—-which many people had some level of difficulty. They will rectify that for us next year and will teach it differently to the new M1’s. With that said, we are far from the only school using an organ-based organization and it’s actually not the first time it has been taught like this at UM—as stated “off the record” by some of our more senior professors (it is the old-old-old-curriculum, again). The reality is this: no matter the order, the material that must be covered is the same. And, if you have a collection of reasonably bright students, they will succeed in spite of what the administration tries to do. The real test will be when we take step 1 and how we do on the wards. Since we went through almost the same material as the students before us, just in less time, we’ll do well.
As far as stress, it is less stressful than other schools that give weekly quizzes (Hopkins springs to mind). I had a few acquaintances that had matriculated there and they were much bitchier than I see any of us being (overall). I do think that most of us are stressed to some level, it’s medical school after all! I think it’s better to say that our stress levels are within personally acceptable limits. I know I’m more stressed in school than when I’m sitting on the beach in Cayman, no matter what sequence it is. Oddly enough, weekly quizzes actually help by keeping a more even tone of stress level. That’s why we don’t have what other schools call “Black Monday.” And that’s a good thing!
I don’t think anyone has fully responded to your second question with a description of what the old curriculum was like. (This plays into my first point.) It was taught with a structure more akin to college: Here is ALL of Anatomy, Here is all of embryology, Here is all of molecular and cellular biology, and so on. The one most notable difference between the old and new curricula is anatomy lab runs through most of the year instead of just the first few months. Better? Worse? I really think it’s a draw with anatomy. The rest (except maybe embryo) “seemed” better for the changes.
No matter what, UM has a great reputation and it keeps getting better! (For good reason.)

Name: Steve -- Email: swarnick@umich.edu
I'll post too :)
1)YES (with enthusiasm), minus the fact that I do not think I have learned my embryology this year.
2)The new curriculum also sections off our clinical skills into one week blocks separate from the science-based sequences. There are also longitudinal cases (basically problem-based learning), and the infamous Family Centered Experience. E-mail me if you have specific questions about these.
3)I have been stressed by academics in two sequences (neuro and musculoskeletal), which were the most work. Other then that, I think most of us are not stressed - we keep busy (and usually with lots of activities outside of the classroom), but I know I am not walking around ready to burst at any second. Weekly quizzes are a pain, but they keep me honest with my study habits.
4)No ranking in first year, no grades. After that there is grading, and we are ranked for our deans letters (for residency applications) by quartiles in the class, not individually. I think this is accurate.
Good luck making your decision :)

Name: sparky
although it's totally natural to want to know about the curriculum, if you're wanting to know to compare UM to another school, it's probably not worth your time. you're probably better off making your decision based on which school feels like the place that you can be happiest based on the happiness and personality of the students, location, and whatever other factors you want to make up on the grand rubric. but the curricula, i'm not sure how important that REALLY is. at every top 10-15 med school, you're going to be working fairly hard because you don't want to fail your boards. they're going to teach roughly the same material, because it's medicine. saying that, UM's new curriculum is probably a very good balance of anything you'd want in a curriculum. honestly, the weekly quizzes are a pain in the tail, and sometime in mid-winter you're going to scream and wish you had a weekend off. but then again, i take my quizzes at 6 AM every Sunday night. there are plenty of kids who take them 6 PM on Friday as well. it all comes down to your personal preference and personality. hope that helps, and good luck!

1. for the most part, yes.
2. systems based integrated approach m1, shuffling of sequence order in m2. finish m2 in march instead of may. thesis requirement for entering class of 2004.
3. sometimes. weekly quizzes, with exams every 2-3 weeks keeps us from being too behind and overwhelmed, but also keeps us in a low level amount of stress at all times.
4. m1 year is graded pass/fail with no rankings that i know of. m2 and beyond are graded honors/hp/p/f; not sure if rankings are made at this point or not.
you're welcome. remember, only you can prevent forest fires.

I stopped in to see the MCC people today and I got a slightly better story. For most of us, the added cost of the "utilities" will be in place of a normal rent increase. So instead of getting a $50 rent increase this year, our rent will stay the same (for most people) and there will only be the added cost for utilities. They do have projections for each size apartment based on the last two year's usage. For my single, they estimate that it'll cost $25-50 a month depending on gas usage. Hope that helps people! They also said they hoped to have our new lease info to us by the end of the week.

Since there seems to be some chatter about housing...I should share a rumor that the UM family housing is considering opening up some of the townhouses in Northwood 4 and/or 5 to students (and you don’t even have to pose as domestic partners.) Rent is very reasonable and the busses are pretty convenient. I know in NW 5 there are several 3 bedroom townhouses which have been vacant all year. If you’re interested, you should call them or e-mail them (frequently) to let them know there is interest out there.

an addendum to karishma's comment: i asked the manager if they have any cost projection analyses for the proposed changes, and she told me that she wouldn't have the numbers yet. but she said that she'd be happy to schedule an appointment to talk about it when i re-sign my lease. when i asked her why she couldn't tell me, she said that she was waiting for the company to get back to her.
when i asked her if the rent was going up, she said she didn't know. she said, "well, i mean, they're doing this, so they'll probably not raise it." three weeks ago, she said that they were definitely raising it.
my suggestions... move if you have the means. they're being very shady about this.

hi guys, i'm an m2 and i don't know if any of you know this but i posted this on our comment ground so i thought i'd let you guys know too....
FYI - for those living at med center court -
they haven't told anyone yet but they're changing the terms of our lease. we're going to be responsible for gas, water, waste water, trash removal fee and a "nominal" adminstrative fee to take care of all of these charges. basically they're going to average each "unit's" useage and then split it up by the number of occupants for water/waste water and by square footage for gas charges and then bill us every month. so for those of us on random away rotations and considering how little time we're going to actually be in our apartments next year we're going to be paying for the rest of the buildings usages. they haven't told us but they are going to add it, i got a preliminary info flyer on it which you can get from the main office if you ask for it, they don't volunteer that to you.
just thought i'd let those know who might have time/initiative if they wanted to leave. oh by the way from what i've heard, our rent is not going down (as it should since technically all of this they paid for previously and now we are going to) it's most likely going to go up - no "official" word though....

Well, the U schedule consists of 3 equal semesters that last 4 months each - Fall (Sept - Dec) and Winter (Jan - Apr) are obvious. The 4 months from May - Aug is actually termed the "Spring/Summer" semester, but it is broken down into 2 2-month terms called Spring and Summer.
What's the point of this wacky system, you ask? As undergrads, we got 4 months of summer break!!!

There was a young man from Back Bay,
Who thought syphilis just went away,
He believed that a chancre,
Was only a canker,
That healed in a week and a day.
But now he has “acne vulgaris” --
(Or whatever they call it in Paris);
On his skin it has spread,
From his feet to his head,
And his friends want to know where his hair is.
There’s more to his terrible plight,
His pupils won’t close in the light,
His heart is cavorting,
His wife is aborting,
And he squints through his gun-barrel sight
Arthralgia cuts into his slumber;
His aorta is in need of a plumber;
But now he has tabes,
And saber-shinned babies.
While of gummas he has quite a number.
He’s been treated in every known way,
But his spirochetes won’t go away,
He developed paresis,
Has long talks with Jesus,
And thinks he’s the Queen of the May.

The only drawback to this house is if you like to play music loudly (if you do, you prob. shouldn't live here). If you've ever lived in a old house before you'll know that they weren't made for amplified bass and drum sounds. But... if you're looking for someplace quiet, this is it. You'll have a quiet downstairs neighbor (me), who is also a med student (M3).
If you're interested, drop me an email or call me at 734-222-9976 (home) /415-572-4446 (cel). I believe the current tenants' lease ends in Sept., but that the apt. will be available starting in May or June.

Hi,
Given that other people have already done this, I might as well add my offering to the mix...
Looking for a place that is BOTH cheaper and nicer for M2 year? Impossible, you say?
Well, you are in luck -- unfortunately both of my roommates are getting married and moving out, so I have an opening. Looking for a roommate in a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house, preferably a male grad student and a non-smoker. Available end of May, but start and duration of lease is negotioable.
Amenities:
* Private driveway w/ carport
* New Carpets, renovated bathroom, hardwood floors in bedrooms, ample closet space
* Furnished common areas (TV, futon, dining room)
* Modern kitchen and appliances, including dishwasher and Marilat cabinetry.
* Beautiful garden and patio, accessible from the basement/lower level
* Free laundry w/ washer &ampamp dryer
* A study and plenty of storage room in the basement
* Lounge/ rec room convertible to guest room to host family or friends.
House is convenient to the Hospital, North &ampamp Central campus. Close to grocery stores, gym, walking distance to many parks, Leslie Golf Course.
Bus lines: Steps away from #1 &ampamp 1U AATA buses that take you directly to downtown/Central Campus and hospital. Runs weekdays 6:30am-10:30pm and weekends 8:30am-6:30pm.
Easy commute: ~ 5 minutes by car, 8-10 minutes by bike to either North or Central Campus.
Rent $415/month for smaller bedroom or 435$ for larger bedroom + share of utilities.
Water included. Cable and fast, wireless internet connection.
I would be glad to answer any questions, send you pictures or show you around.

If you really want to stay in NYC, then the NYC schools are definitely more favorable for that--just look at their match lists. That said, it is still should not be a significant problem matching in NYC **DEPENDING** on what you're looking for. For example, if you're looking for ortho at HSS in Manhattan, then your chances are slim regardless of where you are. The unfortunate truth is that U-M is not as well recognized on the East or West coasts(just ask a doc in any nyc hospital and the response will be mixed). I'd advise you to go post on the M3 page because they're starting to think about residency apps now and they have a very active comment ground.

I wouldn't worry about coming to Michigan as something that would put you at a disadvantage for NYC residencies. While NYC is obviously a popular locale, it's definitely not on par with the West Coast in that regard. It definitely shouldn't be a problem for you if you are originally from NYC, have ties to NYC, and make that known to the programs you're applying to. Some specialties are more "regional" than others - i.e. coming from a midwest school most of your interviews may come from the midwest in highly competitive fields, but if you're thinking about any of the primary care fields and even general surgery, NYC should not be an issue.

We'd depart from chicag, we can take my car, fit up to 4(preferably 3), and watch DVDs the whole way there.

All in all, we save tons of money b/c we split gas, and if you ride with me... you can also have free housing at my aunt's unoccupied beach house in laguna beach. (ok, i don't know if it's unoccupied on those dates yet, but i just sent her the email asking if I could stay there.) Can it get any better? Yes! watch the game, rush the field, and wear shorts in the middle of winter!

Yeah Shlafer! Now we have some people riled up on the message board! We also noticed that you were trying to slip some subliminal messages into our lecture by playing really bad Ohio music during our lecture Wednesday (as Meredith pointed out to me - watch the first 15 minutes of his lecture video - ARGH - I didn't know you could sing about Put-In-Bay).
Too bad the Thugeyes won't be able to take down Michigan. I just hope Navarre wears his throat guard so that he doesn't suffer any accidental throat jabs on Saturday.
Also - is it just me, or is it a coincidence that one of the Luckeyes best players is Gamble?

Shalfer has kept talking about how we would find him offensive at some point, which I thought wouldn't happen because personally he didn't seem that offensive in class, but he has officially offended me -- I can't stand Ohio State and I can't wait to see their chance to defend their national championship crushed! A national championship that they won, might I add, with a lot of help from a ref who couldn't remember exactly why he threw that late flag!

Shlafer, So OSU is "Tresselized" and is going to pull out the close game when they need to. If memory serves me correctly, and I believe it does, OSU couldn't pull out the close game on Oct. 11th versus Wisconsin and they won't be able to pull it off on Saturday either.GO BLUE!

Ok. I've lurked long enough on these "private" pages, often times being a regular and frequent contributor to the original class pages for the classes of the current M2s (who have about as much life as a bowl of left-over oatmeal) and the M3s (who have a little more of "a life". So now I interject... privately, unofficially, nothing to do with my "job" as a faculty member.OSU will stop U-M. Navarre will be shut-down (except for a few short passes), Chris Gamble will be a part of killing the bomb. OSU has won by slim margins for the last 2 years, but they are "Tresselized" and will pull it out when they need to. And for those of you who think OSU fans are so rude! Oh, horrible. I've been here for 25-something years (saw Woody and Bo go head to head), and U-M fans are just as obnoxious and otherwise horrible as any fans anywhere else in the Big 10 (OK, not Northwestern, cuz they're too smart to do that). Give me a break. Read the Columbus papers and they're just as "afraid" of Michigan fans as you are of the Buckeye rooters.Go BUCKS. Hail to the Maize and BLAH. OSU will take it by 3, and LLLLLoyd Carrrrrrr will find every excuse to say why Michigan didn't win.ShlaferPS: Can I vote in the Jason, Katherine, Susannah, Matt contest? For what it's worth, I'll give my vote to Susannah, and that's meant as a compliment to Susannah. (I'm not a big personal fan of Seinfeld, Allison Janney (or most anyone from "West Wing"), or the Unabomber.FWIW, and apropos West Wing: I've been told that I'm a "lot like" Toby Ziegler from West Wing.... only Toby is apparently nicer, more mentally stable, and more laid back than I am. He's also, apparently, a stinking liberal, and that's where the comparison really ends.

Hey Meredith - I'm with you. I was in Columbus last year for the game, and I could not believe how trashy OSU's fans were! I too had old women and little kids swearing at me and throwing stuff, and I got in a fight with an old man (cause he wouldn't get out of my seat) who also called me some lovely names. ha! I think it's hilarious how much they hate us:-) And remember - it's a BLUE OUT this weekend and NOT a maize out!! GO BLUE - BEAT OSU!!!

This is from mgoblue.com. Take that OSU - your band's claim to fame is a Maize and Blue creation. Ha ha!
And though it is loath to admit it, Ohio State's marching band can thank its rival, the Michigan Marching Band, for its famed formation, the "Script Ohio." The Michigan band first performed the formation in 1932 at Ohio Stadium to honor the relationship between the two universities. Not surprisingly, given that the rivalry between the two bands is every bit as intense as the one between the two teams, there is no mention in any history of the Ohio State band that its most famous formation was invented and first performed by Michigan.

Hello! You'll be getting an e-mail on this subject as well :)
After finishing our lovely week of Physical Diagnois 1, it is time to evaluate and give feedback on this module to everybody's favorite CFM head honcho, Dr. Lash. Please send me feedback, positive and negative. Here are two comments that I have received from people regarding this sequence:
1) It would have made more sense to have the musculoskeletal exam lecture BEFORE Tuesday, rather than on Wednesday after we had already tried this exam on one another.
2)There was confusion on start times for lectures and small groups. Is everything in clinical week starting 10 minutes later than posted, or just lectures? We need more uniformity in Michigan time in clincial weeks.
That's about all that I have heard so far, so please e-mail me any additional good or bad remarks :)

Why can't stuff be named systematically? Like most medial starts at #1, and goes up laterally, then letters starting at A goes superficial to deep. Leg nerve 1a, 1b, leg nerve 2a, 2b leg nerve 3. I bet the practical for that would be pretty simple. Also, why can't the body itself be more systematic? The brachial plexus looks like a mess. It should all be straight without all those articulations and criss-crossing and all that other nonsense. I'm sure it's possible to straighten out all those nerves as they grow in development. That's where I'd put federal grants... cure for cancer can wait.

After I have my way with that person (not sexually - we'll save that for the other jerk who invented nerves, veins, and arteries), I will sleep in, watch college football guilt free all day, and live a happy life.

Third Time's A Charm!
Tyler Fredrickson made a 38-yard field goal to end a third crazy overtime as California upset No. 3 Southern California 34-31 Saturday. Ryan Killeen, who tied it with a 33-yard field goal for the Trojans with 16 seconds left in regulation, missed a 39-yarder moments before Fredrickson's kick. The teams played three madcap extra periods featuring a fumble, a blocked field goal and outstanding passing by both quarterbacks. The temporary lighting installed at Memorial Stadium for the afternoon start was at full power when the game ended in near-dark. Fredrickson ran to midfield and slid on his knees after the kick - and he was soon engulfed by the Cal student section and thousands more in the huge crowd, which stormed the field." -LL

!!Salsa lessons start on Monday in the Union!! If you want more info, send me an e-mail or go to www.umich.edu/~msalsa. It's great fun, and the other dancers are a great mix of other students (undergrads, lots of grad students from all over, and people from the community). You don't have to commit to going every week. Whenever you can show up, there is a lesson at your level. No partner needed.

I agree with Garrett, but only partially. We need new polls AND new pictures. And then I would be happier. I think a new poll should be about nicknames for all the Michael's because there are like 10 of us. As the one who suggested this idea, I have the right to keep "Michael", and the rest can get nicknames, or something.

just email me or give me a call. 734-717-2787. Palmer field is right in front of

If you are a Comcast cable subscriber or plan to be, there is a comcast
promotion for high-speed internet, $19.99/month for six months (~$42.95
afterwards). This promotion does not include installation, or the $3.00/mo cable
modem rental. This might be a good option for those of you who are planning to
get cable TV anyway and would like to take advantage of having high-speed
internet at home as well. As far as we know, the offer ends July 31, so make

Hey all y'all,
Occasionally I go downtown (the big D) to see the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra perform various concerts. I go every other month or
so, and I invite people to come along with me. We usually have a group of about
25 students go, and we meet up for dinner beforehand and sometimes drinks
afterwards. Last year we listened to Beethoven's Ode to Joy, Mozart's Requiem,
Chopin, and a few others.
On Friday, August 8, there will be a DSO
performance of Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, Piano Concerto, and his famous 1812
Overture (complete with fireworks and cannons!). It's at Meadow Brook (outdoor
ampitheater), and group tickets are only $11 for lawn seats. If you're
interested in going, email me at dkrochma@umich.edu (nonbinding, I just neen an
approximate count for right now). I look forward to meeting all of you, and keep
a look out for future DSO emails!

There is free laundry and parking and it is within walking distance to the

room is smaller than the upstairs rooms. Utilities are additional but You would
be living with two very cool m2's so it would be split three ways. I would love
to live there myself but I just got word that my best friend from undergrad is

i am kmart. a bunch of m2s might be at mitch's
tomorrow night to worship jerry sprague and drink. if you're unfamiliar with
mitch's, that means that you should show up. it's on the corner of s. forest and
south u, right across the street from the village corner. if you can't find
that, it's your loss.

i am in for any fantasy football league available. are you going to run
it through yahoo?
ps more of my fellow m2s are probably interested....you
should post something on our comment ground too. although it does seem like only
ken and I check it...
pps this comment ground (especially at the beginning
of the year) can be used for so much more than housing requests (hence the

Hey everyone,
I can't beleive that we are only a couple of weeks
away from starting classes. We are also a couple of weeks away from a new NFL
season. As an avid fan I wanted to see if there were any people interested in
joining a fantasy football league. I know that this forum is designated for
housing but it thought I would give it a try anyway. If you are interested
please email me. I looking to have 8-10 teams in the league.
I hope
everyone's summer is going well and I am excited about meeting everyone.
See ya,
Kasra

Looking for a 1 BR?
The landlord of my 8-apt. complex in the med
ghetto still has 1 or 2 1-BR places available.
Briefly, they're 1 BR,
2-story places next to and closer than most of the Med Court/Island Dr.
complexes, but are larger and cheaper than the places there, guaranteed.
Great landlord, the places come
as furnished as you desire (the landlord
bought me a new full-size serta). Not sure what they're
going for now, but
presume mid/low $700's. Email me for further testimonial--all other ?'s to
Len, my landlord 734 429-2089. Tell 'em Jason in 953 Wall St. Apt. 7 sent ya
and I'll make
$50 (this doesn't bias my glowing description of the place--my
integrity costs at LEAST $200).

Hey M1's
One great place to get furniture is at:
marketplace.umich.edu Unfortunately, you need a Umich uniquename and password to
log in, which you probably do not have unless you went here for undergrad.
Fortunately, you can furnish your entire place really cheap with some nice
stuff. So especially if you're coming from far away (say California) and driving
in a big U-haul doesn't appeal to you, just save your money and buy the stuff
here.

Hey guys, I'm an incoming M1 looking for a place to stay. I know its late
and all, but I just got in off the waitlist. I'm 22, from Berkeley, living in LA
now. I'm a laid back guy, looking for a two bedroom place. Three's fine too. I
like to keep things decently clean, and I try to cook when I have time (although
I do get lazy about that sometimes). Don't mind splitting the bill for groceries
if we end up getting similar foods. I'll be bringing up a car, so a parking
space is preferred. It would be nice to live in the Island Drive or the other
place, but I don't mind driving to school. If any of you guys got space, let me
know. I'll be in Ann Arbor around the 28th.

Actually, I just cut and pasted what one of my buddies wrote to me. :)
But the "addict" is carpeted on the inside and may actually be home to two
people as "he's" big enough. "He's" also rather cool even in the summertime.
Just to add some info-All 4 of us are laid back who like to lift, golf,
play basketball, intramural flag football, play GTA, go out to Dominicks, Ricks,
Touchdowns, Mitch's, Royal Oak, Detroit, Windsor, Vegas, Chicago..you get the
picture.
I also want to clarify that the house is closer than 10 minutes to
the medical school, it's actually about 5 minutes, and definitely a more direct
route than from the med ghetto(trust me, I lived there for 3 years). It's half a
block from the CCRB(not 5 minutes)and also about 65 paces from Mitch's on South
University. You don't need a car but there is parking. Also, most importantly,
we have tons and tons of experience about the things that you actually have to
study for and don't during medical school. Good luck and most
importantly.............don't be a gunner.

"Addict" and "Attic" both come from the Latin word "Atticus" meaning
"beyond reach." The two meanings were included in the same word (attic) until
the 12th century when "addict" spun off to reflect its other meaning as a person
who abuses substances. Raj was merely showing us his knowledge of classical
English.

Hey everyone,
Welcome to Ann Arbor. Three M4s and an M3 have a room
available in a large house for the coming year, and we thought we'd offer it to
the incoming M1s first since we know finding good housing in Ann Arbor can be
difficult. Read on if interested:
Your roommates:
We're all guys.
Prefer another male for our roommate, but this isn't set in stone.
Three
M4's, all taking the coming year off from medical school to pursue other
interests.
An M3, returning from a year of research.
All very friendly.
Enjoy active social life and life outside of medical school. (part of the reason
we're living in this house, read on.)
The house:
Huge, beautiful
blue house on central campus. Away from "the medical school ghetto" (believe us,
this is a GOOD thing), yet still very close to everything, including med-school
(see below).
Five large bedrooms, plus huge semi-finished basement
(easily livable + much storage), plus huge, nice, addict.
We're looking to
have five (maybe six) guys living here, although during the past school year, 7
guys easily lived in the house, 5 in the bedrooms, 1 in addict (really a huge
master bedroom) and 1 in basement.
Washing machine, dryer,
dishwasher, cable/internet access in all rooms, TWO porches (one on the front
entrance, one off a bedroom above) perfect for grilling, reading, tailgates,
etc.
2 bath.
Location:
PERFECT location in Ann Arbor. Five
minutes walk from S. University Ave, and all of the assorted coffee shops,
eateries, stores, bars, normal people, and other things that central campus has
to offer. Won't get this in the student ghetto, we know cause we've been there.
Five minutes walk from the CCRB (central campus recreation building),
with weightroom, basketball courts, raquetball, pool, etc. etc.
Ten
minute walk, 5 minute bike ride, 70 second drive, from medical school.
Ten minute walk to the diag, heart of central campus and libraries.
Despite being centrally located, still a pretty quite area far enough
from bars. etc.
Parking:
Five parking spots come with the house.
Rare in Ann Arbor.
Perks:
Free advice/books/etc. from your
roommates.
Price:
We negotiated and brought the price down with
management. About $650/person/month with 5 people, less with 6 people.
If interested:
email Siavash Jabbari: sjabbari@umich.edu
If
you are around and want to see the house in the next couple of weeks, email:
Raj Rajani: rrajani@umich.edu

am
really in to social justice/activism, asian culture/languages, and good food. i

Hey guys-
I'm an incoming M1 but I'm spending the summer in Ann
Arbor. I just got my email setup, and I'll try to explain how I went about doing
it. I think it'd probably be quite a bit harder to get it done if you aren't
physically in Ann Arbor, because there's physical paperwork and signatures and
things like that that you have to do.
First, I had to get a "uniqname",
which is essentially just a login name for the UM computer system. Practically
anybody can get a uniqname, but it doesn't really give you any computer
privileges by itself. I got mine by filling out a simple form at the learning
resource center (LRC) - you guys all saw it on your tour (that's where they did
the computer demo). All you need for that is a social security number.
After that, you have to get a "Basic Computer Package." That gives you
email access and probably a couple other things that I have yet to discover.
This will require the UM ID number that you got with your enrollment deposit
form. I called the Office of Student Programs to get that, but I think they kind
of made an exception for me since I'm working here over the summer. Several of
the secretaries that I encountered along the way said that I won't/shouldn't get
one until Orientation.

yes, but I'm also a big fan of socializing. I'm probably more into clothes,
makeup, etc. than your average med student, but I'm really considerate and would
like a roommate who is the same. Girls or guys...email me and I'll get in
touch!

Dave, Nielsen Square is actually composed of condos not apartments. I
looked up the number for you, if you are interested in buying one-- (734)
761-4758. If you want to rent one some private owners and real estate companies
are renting them out and you would have to contact them separately-- they
usually post their phone numbers in the windows of the unit. Some people a few
entries below have actually posted that they are living in Nielsen Square and
are looking for roommates-- you might want to contact them. Hope this helps.

I wanted to re-post my message from a few weeks ago (with a few
additions). I am a future M1 looking for 3 roommates (male, female, or mixed ?I
have a few people who have tentatively agreed but nothing definite) to share a
four bedroom condo at Nielsen Square located just off Maiden Lane (5 minute walk
to the Medical Center), right next to the Island Drive Apartments. It is really
nice, spacious, and new (with washer-dryer, dishwasher, parking, etc...), all
for a really good (and semi-negotiable) deal. Basically, it is a little strange
because it will most-likely be four strangers living there, but it could be
really fun if I can come up with a group of compatible people. About me: I am a
22 year old female, originally from Ann Arbor but went to school out east
(Wesleyan undergrad, spent the last year teaching in NYC). I am fairly easy to
get along with; like to cook, run, and hang-out with friends. Please e-mail if
you are interested in learning more about the place. Also, I will be visiting
Ann Arbor as soon as I get out of school (the first week in July) and would love
to show the place to any/all interested people at that time.

Allright folks. it's time.
This is THE year! The Wolverines are
ranked #5 in the preseason espn football poll, and you now have the once in a
lifetime opportunity to get a curbside view of our run to the NATIONAL TITLE!
Where will you be on November 22, 2003? Will you be in the solitude of a study
room, sipping chamomille tea, swaying to the sounds of Chopin? OR- WILL YOU BE
AT THE MAIN EVENT? MICHIGAN VS. OHIO STATE. In the crisp fall air, picture the
little whisps of warm breaths shooting up all around you as you stand shouting
on your feet with 107,000 other michigan fans....ONE PURPOSE ONE GOAL. When we
take Ohio State down on that historic afternoon, will you be rushing the field
with us? Will you be a part of the MAD CROWD RUSHING down South University and
onto the lawn of the President's house? Will you sprint around campus with
students, run into all the libraries and shout at the top of your lungs--- Hail
to the Victors Valiant. Hail to the CONQUERING HEROES. HAIL! HAIL! TO MICHIGAN -
The CHAMPIONS OF THE WEST.
Either you're a part of history-- or you watch it
on tv. So where will you be?
We have until Friday, June 27 to purchase
season tickets. 7 home games for $142 highlighted by Notre Dame and Ohio State.
Email me and let me know if you want to get tickets together, and I can email
you back with more details on how this will all work. We'll probably go in 2
groups-- to get the best seating priority, those with accumulated Michigan
credit hours will probably be one group, and those w/o credit hours will be in
another.
Let me know!

I'm looking for someone to share a 2 bed, 2 bath condo on Huron Pkwy at
Washtenaw. You would have your own bedroom and private bath as well as use of a
small washer/dryer in the unit. The condo is an attractive top floor unit that
backs up against a heavily treed area with a small stream (I'm trying to figure
out a way to kayak to class :-) ). It is in a nice neighborhood and a short walk
to new shopping centers and a bus stop with direct service to the med center.
Technically I will be your "landlord" which should be a plus because I
am beyond flexible with things like rental agreements and the term of a lease.
Rent and utilities are negotiable (especially if you're a weirdo like Julie and
actually enjoy doing dishes), but I can guarantee that it will be much more
affordable than anything in the white coat ghetto. I'm looking for a non-smoker,
but otherwise I don't have a lot of requirements. I don't have a mother that
will kill me for living with a female, so I don' t have a gender preference. If
you have a kitty that won't tear up my furniture, that would be fine. I will
probably be bringing a small snake with me, but he won't bother you so there's
no reason to be freaked out.
I would describe myself pretty much how
everyone else on this page has described themselves, so the best thing would
probably be to just meet and chat. I should, however, probably warn you that I
talk about the Simpsons pretty much incessantly, so if you are an enemy of Ralph
Wiggum, we might have problems. I'll be moving to Ann Arbor in less than a
month, so the unit will be available for viewing then. Until then, e-mail will
probably be the best way to reach me (jid@ucla.edu).
Ok, I've rambled
long enough. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll see everyone else in
August.

Hey future M1's,
One of my prospective roommates fell through (he
made a bad decision to attend an inferior institution) and now I am looking for
a roommate. I am a current M1 looking to find a roommate for next year, starting
late May/Early June (though I can deal with August, so please don't hesitate to
contact me). The only requirements I have is that you keep the place clean --
though I would prefer a male and a nonsmoker.
Benefits:
1) A great 1
bedroom in a three bedroom house. Hardwood floors, a new, refinished kitchen,
including dishwasher and a full finished basement and a nice back yard in a
great residential neighborhood. 1 1/2 baths. If you have a car, you'll have a
spot in a carport and keep it protected from the weather.
2) Price:
Asking for 415$ a month. Very low security deposit (if you got into medschool
that's good enough for me), and you will get water included (all other utilities
split up three ways). Laundry is in the basement and would also be free. I think
that for Ann Arbor and the amenities you will be getting this is for EXTREMELY
cheap, though I will listen to counteroffers. Look around, even on this board --
no one is offering more amenities for less.
3) Location: Only a 7 minute
shuttle ride, or a 15 minute bike (10 minutes downhill to the school, 15 uphill
coming back) or 20-25 minute walk (I wouldn't do it on a regular basis, but it's
defintely doable). The shuttle runs for free with Umich ID about every 30
minutes between 6:30am-8:30am and again 3:30-5:30, and besides that there is a
city bus that runs very regularly between 7:00am and 10:30pm on the weekdays and
between 8:30 and 6:30 on weekends and costs only a 1$ (less if you buys a
monthly pass). Both stops are literally steps away from the house on one end and
the med school on the other end of the line. In my opinion whether you walk for
10 minutes to get to class (and even with the closest apartments in the
medschool ghetto it will take you at least 10 minutes) or ride the bus for 8
minutes it figures to the same time. In the summer it's a nice bike ride and in
winter you won't be freezing your ass walking. It is also a short drive (3
minutes) to nice restaurants, the gym and the groceries).
4) I am a
clean, laid-back roommate, who knows you will be in school a lot, will not play
loud music and will respect your privacy. (Maybe even sell you some books :).
It's a great place to live.
If you think you're interested, e-mail me
at: ggurda@umich.edu and I can give you more details or we can talk on the
phone.

Hey Incoming M1's-
I just wanted to clarify a message from earlier. I
live at Phi Rho Sigma, one of the 3 med school "fraternity" houses. It ISN'T a
fraternity (ie men only). It is more like a society. I'm one of the 7 or 8 girls
who live here now. Living here is one of the best decisions I made when I came
to medical school. Close to school/work, lots of advice and book borrowing from
upperclassmen, great "family" atmosphere. Not having to grocery shop or make
meals is a huge plus, especially when you're a third year and have no time after
a full day in the OR or on the wards. The high speed cable access for the
internet and the work out equipment (Precor eliptical machine and weights) are
added bonuses! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me.

Now that more of you are thinking more seriously about living

thinking of signing leases at Med Center Court. If you are interested in getting
some free money out of the deal (up to $200), send me an email. Med Center Court
will give me money for referring people to move in, and the bottom line is that
I will give you half of whatever I get, once you sign a lease and move in. If
you already know you want to live at Med Center Court, there's really no reason
not to go for this one. If you have any questions about the apartments or
anything else in general, feel free to send me an email. Best of luck to all in
relocating to Ann Arbor.

Hi M1s,
Congrats on coming to Michigan. I’m writing to follow-up
on Dan’s Phi Rho housing advertisement. Personally, I think it’s a great place
to live. I reckon the two biggest benefits are it’s convenience and it’s sense
of community.
Convenience ?Phi Rho is just five minutes away from the
med school. Can’t beat this when you want to sleep as long as possible or avoid
the cold. Also, there are 11 cooked meals a week and plenty of leftovers ?this
is a huge timesaver when you are busy with work.
Community ?Phi rhoers
get to know each other very well. Housemates from your own class will inevitably
become friends (& study mates). Phi Rho is unique in that all four classes
intermingle. The upperclassmen serve as great role models and sources of advice
for the new students. Phi Rho’s companionship extends to the community at large
as we are involved in a number of community service projects (For instance,
right now I have over 700 stuffed animals in my room which we will be giving to
Motts Childrens Hospital and other community service agencies).
We have
a lot of fun at phi rho, but we take our education seriously. If you check out
our website (www.umich.edu/~phirho), you’ll see that our graduating class was
very successful in the match.
The fact that most phi rho residents stay
in the house for all four years speaks for itself. In fact a number of students
will ask to move in after M1 year (a request that can’t always be accommodated
because we keep as many spots as possible for incoming M1s).
Feel free
to call me at any time if you have questions (734)-972-6999. Space is filling up
and grad students are knocking on the door to take any unclaimed spots.
Have a great summer.
- Seth (Phi Rho President)

my cooking skill as average...to quite average. As for furniture, Ill be
bringing a comfortable futon, a kitchen table and chairs, an entertainment

different living arrangements...SO if you are looking for a roommate, or know of
a one bedroom about town that I could call on, please contact me. Roommate
specs: I am a 23yr old female, quite clean, easygoing, and know how to study
hard as well as play hard and enjoy life. I'm a taurus and like quiet walks on
the beach...J/K. Just let me know if you might be interested. (NO male/female
preference.)--Cheers!

Hey incoming M1s! Looking for an EASY, completely HASSLE-FREE way to
start med school in a new place? My roommate's taking off for a year of
research, leaving behind a completely furnished bedroom and all her M1 books.
You'll have a nicely decorated room including a bed, desk, bookcase, and
dresser. The apartment is a two-bedroom in Medical Center Court, which is about
a 10-minute walk to the med school, part of the famed ghetto where most of your
classmates will live. The building the apartment is in has a study lounge in it,
washer/dryer, and space for extra storage. Just across the street is the
complex's fitness center. I like to live in a clean apartment, am generally an
easygoing person, and an M3-to-be, which means I'm not going to be around a
whole lot next year. Logistics: available in July, rent will be roughly $500
(our rent is changing in August but I haven't bothered to ask the apartment
manager for the exact figure yet). If I'm not totally swamped by boards
studying, I'll try to post a website with pictures of the place. If interested
or have any questions, feel free to email or call me (734-546-1668). If you want
to ask my current roommate how fabulous a roommate I am, feel free to email her
too (rhopper@umich.edu)!

Hi. I am a future M1 looking for 3 roommates (male, female, or mixed) to
share a four bedroom condo at Nielsen Square located just off Maiden Lane (5
minutes walk to the Medical Center), right next to the Island Drive Apartments.
It is really nice, spacious, and new (with washer-dryer, dishwasher, parking,
etc...), all for a really good deal! Ideal situation for people who don't know
anyone and would like to live with more than one other person. About me: I am a
22 year old female, originally from Ann Arbor but went to school out east
(Wesleyan undergrad, spent the last year teaching in NYC). I am fairly easy to
get along with; like to cook, run, and hang-out with friends. Please e-mail if
you are interested in learning more about the place.

Hey new M1's! Congrats on your admission to Michigan. I'm a m2-to-be
looking for a summer subletter. My studio at Island Drive will be available in
June and July. It's a 15min walk to the med school, is air conditioned, and has
a pool. There are a lot of med students in the area, so it will be easy to meet
people here. I'm very flexible about dates, rent and furnishings. Please let me

UNBELIEVABLY GREAT APARTMENT!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, are you looking
for the perfect apartment for medical school? Ann Arbor natives will be familiar
with the location conveniently located above the well loved Angelo's on the Side
restaurant, which is a 30 second walk from the medical school. Also, it is a 3
minute walk from central campus. I am looking for one person to take over next
year's lease, with flexible move-in date, but the earlier the better. The
apartment is two story with one 15' by 11' room available. A male to be second
year law student lives on the top level, which has 3 smaller rooms. He is
flexible to move downstairs if preferred. Next to the single on the first floor
is a 10' x 11' living area, one full bath, and a large kitchen with porch.
Parking space included in the Angelo's lot. All utilities included.
Low monthly rent of $425 per person.
The landlord owns Angelo's and has
not raised rent in years! Free loaf of bread when you pay rent! Seriously
though, other two-person apartments in this area run between $650 and $700 per
person (Check out Bradford House next door - where I lived before this). This is
a steal. Dogs allowed. Roommate is allergic to cats. I am moving in with my
fiance, otherwise I would stay here!
Check it out, this is the best deal.

Hey m1's =)
I'm a to be m3 looking for a roommate, preferably female,
non-smoker. I live in one of the Riverhouse condiminium apts which is
about
a 10 - 12 min walk away fr the med school. I'm hoping to find an m1 roomie
because I figured they would probably benefit
the most from my M1 and m2
belongings (books, notes, stuff). I like keeping public spaces clean and looking
for someone
who feels the same, and enjoy cooking, although next year i
probably won't be cooking that much, in fact, I might not be around that much.
Apt plusses - the bigger bedroom (i'm too lazy to move), washer/dryer
unit in the apt (don't have to go outside to do laundry)
-most m1 and m2
books you'll need at your disposal, all shared furniture already present, and a
great deal - $440/mo + elec/cable
-what essentially will be a spacious 2 br
apt all to yourself (as i said, i'm predicting i won't be around that much next
year)
Apt minuses - nearby parking (<5 min walk) available, but only 1
spot available next to the apt; allergic to cats
b/c of the apt minus,
this place is great if you don't have a car, and don't plan to get one the first
2 years...it's very doable. if you
do have a car, don't give up on this
place, my roommate has been parking in the same spot for 2 years and never found
it a problem, it's just not
right outside.
If you're interested or have
any questions, please e-mail me
Thanks !

Hey I am an incoming M1 from Los Angeles, California and I a little
confused about how I should go about finding housing/roommate. I have heard
about the few medical frats and also the "White coat ghetto" of those two
apartment complexes right by campus. But being from California I am not sure of
how to choose a place and a roommate or if it is just easier/more convenient to
live in one of the coed frats. Any other future M1's moving from California
moving out there and what are you doing?? I am actually planning on flying out
to Michigan this thursday, May 8th, to check the school out and the surrounding
housing situation out. Let me know what I should be looking for or considering
when I am out there. Thanks and hope to see you all next year!!

Hey new M1s, I want to let you know about something we're trying to get
started this summer. The Corner Clinic is a low-income clinic for 12-21 year
olds and their children in Ypsilanti, the next town over. They have a program
called Reach Out and Read (ROAR) which we used to send volunteers to and want to
start doing again. If you are going to be here this summer and think you might
be willing to take at least one shift reading to kids in the waiting room for a
couple of hours on a Tuesday and/or Friday afternoon, e-mail me at

Hey incoming M1's, I posted this a few weeks ago. We now have 6 of your
classmates signed up for next year. Hurry up and contact us before you miss out
on the ultimate in convenient med school living arrangements...
The Phi
Rho Sigma Medical Society is located less than two blocks from the med school
and offers an unbeatable combination of features. We are 32 women and men (from
all over the U.S. and the world) who live in a historic Tudor home and enjoy the
following: Meals prepared by a professional cook, free cable ethernet to all
bedrooms, extensive free weights and brand new Precor elliptical machine, new
house PC, pool table, foosball table, maid service, free washer and dryers,
recently renovated bathrooms, study lounge, bike room, house entertainment
center with digital cable, DVD player and TiVo, and extensive collection of
medical texts and old tests/quizzes. I'm sure I'm forgetting things, but you get
the idea. Of greatest value are the 3 minute walk to school and the meals - when
you're in the middle of an exam week, you'll be very glad you've got both of
those.
The best part about living at Phi Rho are the friendships between
med students from all 4 classes. Living here, you will gain invaluable advice
and perspective from the M2s, M3s and M4s. We work hard, then play hard. In
short, everyone who moves into the Phi Rho house is very glad they did, and we
don't move out til we graduate.
Please visit our webiste at
http://www.umich.edu/~phirho/ and be sure to check out the link for prospective
members. Feel free to contact Nishit (the Summer House Manager) at
nishitm@umich.edu, or you can e-mail me. We would be happy to answer questions
about Phi Rho or any other question you might have.
You'll want to get
signed up early before the rooms run out!

next year as well. If any of you are thinking of signing a lease here, please
let me know. Again, you really can't go wrong with this place, and I've been
quite happy here. If you sign the lease and tell them that I referred you, they
will give me $400 off my next month's rent. To make things fair for you, I will
give you $200 of that. Please email me if you're interested or have any further
questions about Med Center Court. Congrats on getting into U of M!

Welcome all. If any of you are going to live in Island Drive Apartment
(10 min walk to school, and I think over 15% of our students live there. tel
734-665-4331), don't forget to say that you got a referral from someone
currently living there. You and the other person will both get $100.00 off on
one month's rent.<BR><BR>
If you don't know anyone living there,
just say you got a referral from Woojin Yu (my roommate who holds the lease) at
1105 apt 106. Note my roommate and I wouldn't move in until 8/15, so just make
sure they know that we are not there yet, but will be there. Hope it all works

Hello!
I thought I would join in the fray and post a message as
well. I have a place in Riverfront Park Place condos (just across the
river
from the med school) and I am looking for 1 or 2 roommates for next year. I will
be an incoming M1. The place is wonderful!
It is a 3br/2bath with almost
brand-new kitchen and bathrooms. It has a good view from almost every window and
even a balcony.
Parking is available (I'm not quite sure of all the details)
and there is laundry down the hall.
I don't have too many preferences
about roommates, although I am a nonsmoker, a hard worker who still likes to
have fun, and am
pretty neat most of the time, and would enjoy roommates who
are somewhat similar. I would prefer no pets (at least of the
larger four
legged variety). Most likely the rent will be around 500-600 a month depending
on the number of occupants, but
I am flexible and willing to discuss if you
are interested.
Anyone interested, please don't hesitate to contact me!
I am a deferred student who has enjoyed living in California the past
year
but is excited to get to Ann Arbor and start school and have some fun.
Thanks,
Joel

Due to some questions I've been asked by those interested in the
apartment about me, here's some additional information.
Although cats are
allowed in the Riverhouse complexes, as much as I love them, I'm pretty allergic
to them, so i don't think
I could live with one in the apartment. I don't
smoke, and am fairly neat in that although my own room is not always spic and
span,
I like to keep public areas neat as possible. I am usually inspired by
my roommates to clean, but don't really enjoy cleaning up after
others, so I
am looking for someone with a more clean bent rather than not. Just let me know
if you have any other questions. Thanks =)
"Congrats to the incoming M1s.
I'm a current M2, looking for a female roommate, preferably an M1, during my
M3 and M4 years since my current roomie has to move out.
2br/1ba apt in the
Riverhouse condiminiums, a slightly nicer alternative to the island dr
and
med center court apts in the med school ghetto. ~10 min walk to lecture (and I
have
short legs). Rent is fair, probably be ~440/mo, including heat.
Washer/dryer included IN the apt!
And most likely you will be getting the
larger room as I will be too lazy to move.
The only drawback is that the apt
only has 1 parking spot, which I will be taking. As
an M1 and M2 having a
car isn't crucial, and I'd be more than willing to help out with rides
if
needed (granted I'll probably be pretty busy). There is parking available if
you're willing to
walk for it, it's what my current roommate does and she
insists it's not so bad.
If you are interested, please give me an e-mail.
Oh yeah, you'll also have free access to whatever books I have from M1 and
M2 years.

Hey future M1's,
I am a current M1 looking to find a roommate for
either just the summer (from late May/Early June through August) or better yet
for a whole year, starting late May/Early June. The only requirements I have is
that you keep the place clean -- though I would prefer a male and a nonsmoker.
Benefits:
1) A great 1 bedroom in a three bedroom house. Hardwood
floors, a new, refinished kitchen, a full finished basement and a nice back yard
in a great residential neighborhood. 1 1/2 baths. If you have a car, you'll have
a spot in a carport and keep it protected from the weather.
2) Price:
Asking for 415$ a month. I won't hassle you for a security deposit (if you got
into medschool that's good enough for me), and you will get water included (all
other utilities split up three ways). Laundry is in the basement and would also
be free. I think that for Ann Arbor and the amenities you will be getting this
is cheap, though I will listen to counteroffers.
3) Location: Only a 7
minute shuttle ride, or a 15 minute bike (10 minutes downhill to the school, 15
uphill coming back) or 20-25 minute walk (I wouldn't do it on a regular basis,
but it's defintely doable). The shuttle runs for free with Umich ID about every
30 minutes between 6:30am-8:30am and again 3:30-5:30, and besides that there is
a city bus that runs very regularly between 7:00am and 10:30pm on the weekdays
and between 8:30 and 6:30 on weekends and costs only a 1$ (less if you buys a
monthly pass). Both stops are literally steps away from the house on one end and
the med school on the other end of the line. In my opinion whether you walk for
10 minutes to get to class (and even with the closest apartments in the
medschool ghetto it will take you at least 10 minutes) or ride the bus for 8
minutes it figures to the same time. In the summer it's a nice bike ride and in
winter you won't be freezing your ass walking. It is also a short drive (3
minutes) to nice restaurants, the gym and the groceries).
4) I am a
clean, laid-back roommate, who knows you will be in school a lot, will not play
loud music and will respect your privacy. (Maybe even sell you some books :).
It's a great place to live.
If you think you're interested, e-mail me
at: ggurda@umich.edu and I can give you more details or we can talk on the
phone.

Congrats to the incoming M1s.
I'm a current M2, looking for a female
roommate, preferably an M1, during my M3 and M4 years since my current roomie
has to move out.
2br/1ba apt in the Riverhouse condiminiums, a slightly
nicer alternative to the island dr
and med center court apts in the med
school ghetto. ~10 min walk to lecture (and I have
short legs). Rent is
fair, probably be ~440/mo, including heat. Washer/dryer included IN the apt!
And most likely you will be getting the larger room as I will be too lazy to
move.
The only drawback is that the apt only has 1 parking spot, which I
will be taking. As
an M1 and M2 having a car isn't crucial, and I'd be more
than willing to help out with rides
if needed (granted I'll probably be
pretty busy). There is parking available if you're willing to
walk for it,
it's what my current roommate does and she insists it's not so bad.
If you
are interested, please give me an e-mail.
Oh yeah, you'll also have free
access to whatever books I have from M1 and M2 years.

Just some info for people like Steph looking for apartments:
The
Diag is the central area of central campus, where undergrads have a lot of their
classes. The medical school is on the northeastern tip of central campus, so it
is kind of in between the main central and north campus areas. Downtown Ann
Arbor is located west of the medical school. South of Central campus is where a
lot of undergrads live, and the rent is often expensive (and the landlords
sometimes shady) over in this area. Good places to check out would be the list
that the medical school has online (mostly aparment complexes), the area north
of Central Campus (Anne, Catherine, Lawrence - there are lots of undergrads
here, but it is more of a quiet neighborhood), and maybe even the Kerrytown area
(northwest of central campus). Check out the maps that David posted - they'll
help your orient yourself :)

Hi! I was hoping some Ann Arbor residents could help me out with some
directions here. :)
I started searching for an apartment near the med school
and
being out-of-state, when I read ad lines that say "minutes away from the
diag" "near the downtown area"
"close to north/central campus" etc. mean
absolutely nothing to me!
So I was hoping someone could kind of put it all
in perspective. For instance, what's a diag!? Where's the downtown area
with
respect to the north/central campus? Is the north campus the medical school?
Stupid stuff like that. I'm pretty much lost. Thanks!

The Phi
Rho Sigma Medical Society is located less than two blocks from the med school
and offers an unbeatable combination of features. We are 32 women and men (from
all over the U.S. and the world) who live in a historic Tudor home and enjoy the
following: Meals prepared by a professional cook, free cable ethernet to all
bedrooms, extensive free weights and brand new Precor elliptical machine, new

the idea. Of greatest value are the 3 minute walk to school and the meals - when
you're in the middle of an exam week, you'll be very glad you've got both of
those.
The best part about living at Phi Rho are the friendships between
med students from all 4 classes. Living here, you will gain invaluable advice

There are two main apartment complexes within walking distance of the

Medical Center Court, and both are relatively reasonable and pretty decent
apartment complexes. A lot of other apartment complexes are near the AATA bus
stops that run all over Ann Arbor. There are also a lot of smaller apartments
buildings around Ann Arbor, near the medical school. You can check out the

Well, to address your concerns...as long as you live on campus you really
don't need to drive anywhere. The biggest problem you might have is getting to
the grocery store and back. You'll probably need a car M3 and M4 year though
when you start working in the hospitals. Out of state students never get in
state residency, unless you can prove that your spouse is living in Michigan for
non-academic reasons. The med school is supposed to send out stuff about housing
in April. But hey I'm looking for a roommate! Any takers?

for info on parking, you can go to..
http://www.parking.umich.edu/
then click on 2002-2003 student parking for the various parking options and
permits available.
Probably the best one to get if you wish to drive
everyday is the Graduate student parking permit. But you'll have to drive to and
park in the orange lot, and then you'll have to take one of the many buses that
will go to the med center which is a short hop, skip away.
what's cool about
the grad student parking is that after 3pm to 5am, you can park in any blue lot
which offers great premier parking all across the campus if you need to come
back to school to study or eat at some various places across campus. AND it's
only $81 for the whole year!
So when are you guys all moving into town??

Hi everyone! Yes, if you went to Michigan as an undergrad (and have been
getting football tickets every year), your credit hours will count towards
better seats IF you sent in your stuff last Friday. If you didn't get it in on
time. . . . I'm not sure what they do. But regardless of where you sit, there's
nothing like gameday at the Big House:-)

so what's up with the michigan football season tickets? i just checked it
out on the ticket office website and it looks like the deadline was for last
friday! I imagine that we'll still have the opportunity to get tickets right?
also- i know in undergrad, you got better seats as you had more credit hours
accumulated. Do grad/med students automatically get better seats than the
undergrad kids?? I'd imagine so, but maybe some of you current M1s can answer
that question definitively.

Oh! and if some of you out there are looking to invest into property and

http://www.ndchomes.com/communities/comm_page.asp?CID=258 . It's a brand new
condo community that's building right now and will be finishing construction in
june. I just bought a place there, it's only 3 miles from school, and 2 br/2ba
start out at 155k. I have more info about it if you guys are interested-
pricelist questions, bus stop, parking at u of m, etc. It'd be cool if we get
some classmates out there- that's all!
Or if you don't want to buy a
place, i have my 2nd bedroom open for rent of course-it'd be cheap $400 plus
utils. The place will be stacked- but i'd say you'd want to have a car.
sorry- 1 more question! You know the 'pre-matriculation program' that
runs for like 6 weeks before school, is that something that we'll be asked to
attend, and if so-- when do we find out about that? I imagine, we'd know by now
if they wanted us to come early right?

Congratulations on being accepted. You will love it here.... My name is Adam

early this summer to hang out in the town or do research, I have an opportunity
for you.
I am currently living at Island Drive Apartments, one of the
complexes in the "White Coat Ghetto" and only a 10-min walk from the med center.
If you would like to see what living in this area is like, this is your chance.
I am subletting the apartment for anytime from May 23 until August 15. For less
than $500/month, you will get your own, CLEAN room plus a FULLY furnished
apartment, including full kitchen w/ gas, washer/dryer in basement,
air-conditioning, cable computer hook-up, parking, and a pool behind the
building. Plus, you would be living with my current roommate, a very
knowledgeable rising 2nd-year student. And you would be next to beautiful Island
Park!
In short, not only would you get a chance to check out Island
Drive before potentially renting an apartment here, but you will get a chance to
hang out and learn the ropes from a student who has been around for a year....
If you're male or female, non-smoker, and don't have any pets, contact
me at apossner@umich.edu or 734-223-2150. Price will definitely be less than
$500/month and is FULLY negotiable.

Hi, I will be an M1 and would like to live in the apartment complex
across from the medical school which I heard about during the interview. Are
they made for two occupants? What is the rent per month? If a roommate is
necessary, I would like to live with someone similar to me. Thus I will tell you
a bit about myself and what I am looking for (some of these are obvious):
-Just turned 21, am male, and very social. I currently go to MSU in East
Lansing, MI.
-Like to have fun whenever possible, but I always get my work
done- therefore no one too wild.
-I am a Liberal and tolerant.
-Have a
great sense of humor and I enjoy shows such as the Simpsons, Late Night with
Conan O'Brien, and old episodes of Seinfeld.
-Enjoy Rock, Indie Rock, and
Trance music.
-I don't know how sleeping habits will work in medical school.
Currently I stay up pretty late though this will probably change. I just need
someone who will respect my need for quiet sleep, and I will do the same in turn
(no loud rap music/bass at night).
-No pets (I suppose fish can be an
exception).
-The person must behave in a socially acceptable manner.
-I
really don’t mind dorks(LOL), but I'd rather not live with one.
-The person
must have good personal hygiene (no bad odors!).
-No smoking in the room.
-No regular drug users (this includes weed).
-Drinkers are fine (I go to
MSU).
If you are interested, send me an email and we can further
talk/meet to see if we are compatible. I am willing to compromise on most things
and don't have any real pet peeves. You will find I am pretty normal. I only
posted such obvious things because you just never know?

How are all of you doing? I hope you are all as excited about starting as
an M1 at Michigan as I am. I'm all about getting the season ticket block of
football tickets. I've wanted to go to a Michigan game my entire life, and
hopefully, I'll be able to do that now. I've been traveling in Australia and New
Zealand since the new year, so returning to academics is something I both look
forward to and loath. As for now, I'll just have to be satisfied with sky
diving, kyaking, climbing glaciers, and hang gliding. I know. It is such a
difficult life.
Anyways, as for the housing deal, open to live with
pretty much anyone regarding gender and race, although I would prefer someone
under 24. I like to socialize and have a good time, but not really wild. I'm
really flexible as a person, so if you have any special pet peves that's cool. I
like to keep things relatively clean too. I'm not a big fan of cleaning, but I
just try to not get things dirty in the first place. Here's a list of other

1) Legal Name: Sundeep Singh
2) Age: 21 3) Undergrad: Georgia Institute of Technology 4) Degree: Industrial

Take care and I hope everyone
has a nice week!

Steve, the ticket office told me that they'll send us all an email in a
couple weeks on how to get season tickets. So we should be hearing soon.

Hello future M1s. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. I'm
currently and M1, and have an apartment to rent out for the summer, right next
to the med center. If any of you will be in Ann Arbor for the summer (doing
research or what have you) and would be interested, then drop me a note. The
apartment can even be totally furnished if you want!

Hi everybody :) I agree that it would be fun to get football tickets
together! When do med students send in their applications though? I know the
deadline is March 12th for returning students...

Hey Street Philospher! Yeah it's a bit dark in various areas, but that's
because some of the med school is underground. Like the LRC Computing Center or
the Furstenburg. You have some natural light, but most of it's artificial. It's
really not that bad though- I promise! The hospital and cancer center is lit
very well and also are pretty new buildings. I believe the hospital was built in
1986, and i think the cancer center was built in 1998. So when you're spending
years 3&4 in the hospital, you'll have great facilities and plenty of light
to pick ya up!
For the waitlisted student: good luck to you. I hope to
see you in August! Here's the info on curriculum update; this info can also be
found on michigan's website: http://www.med.umich.edu/lrc/cr2003/
here's
general info in case you don't want to search through that info:
Grading:
M-1year: Pass/Fail
M-2 year: Honors/High Pass/Pass/Fail
M-3 year:
Honors/High Pass/Pass/Fail
M-4 year: Honors/High Pass/Pass/Fail
No more
than 20 weekly hours of structured time, of which at most 10 hours are
lecture-based. ~4 hours each day of lecture/small-group/labs. I believe their
current curriculum is closer to the standard 9-5. Also, students hit the wards 2
months earlier than normal.

I'm also an incoming student looking for a roommate. I'm neither Asian
nor a male, but I do always take my shoes off at the
front door. Anyone
interested (who doesn't smoke and has no pets) can e-mail me.

I'm in the class of 2007 and looking for a roommate for the upcoming
school year. I'd rather have someone who is planning to work here over the
summer, so that I could just get this whole housing thing taken care of early!
I'm a 21yr old female, don't smoke, likes pets. Looking for someone fun, but not
too crazy!

So what's the deal with the new curriculum? I'm just a lowly waitlistee
so I have no idea what it is all about. How is it different from
Northwestern's?

The weather is awesome in ann ARbor. NOthing but 75 degree days and NO
SNOW! I know, it's amazing considering the
geographical location.
Okay, there are times it snows, but the med complex is so huge that
everything is interconnected so you
never have to go outside! how dreary
does that sound?
Yes there is housing right by the school. Island Drive
apartments- is probably the best deal and
still in walking distance. By the
way, I'm looking for a roommate. Preferably an asian male- the
only reason
is b/c my parents would freak if i lived with a girl, and asian b/c I'd like it
if
my roommate not wear shoes around the place. Silly reason huh? but with
the snow/slush- carpeting can
get really nasty if you bring that stuff into
the living room. right right? Hey but if you'll take off
your shoes right
inside the door, then I'll live with anyone. Oh- and I'd prefer someone who
doesn't
piss on the seat, and if you spill on the seat or floor, that you'd
wipe it up (that's my only pet peeve).
Oh I'm no cook either- so don't
expect me to make you any beef chow fun. But I will share my cereal, Honey
bunches and corn pops with you, and I'll even occasionally make a microwaved
hot dog. I do love Tropicana
Grovestand Orange juice, so that's probably the
only thing that i'm protective over.

I'm interested in finding out more about the housing. Someone had told me
that a lot of people live in the places that are within walking distance of the
school...is this true?
