Living in Ann Arbor

The Ann Arbor Advantage

The city of Ann Arbor (population about 100,000) is nationally rated as one of the most livable communities in the United States. Ann Arbor is located within a one hour drive of Detroit and about five hours from Chicago and Toronto.

Ann Arbor strikes an ideal balance between being a cosmopolitan city, rich in culture and entertainment, and a vibrant college town that attracts students from all over the country and the world. Ann Arbor is a diverse community, creating an exciting melting pot of cultural and political views.

The University is located just a short walk from downtown Ann Arbor, where you’ll find live music venues, art galleries and museums, sidewalk cafés and eclectic shops. If you have a passion for the great outdoors, you can bike, hike, boat, fish and canoe, all within minutes of campus.
