The campus housing system at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, referred to as University Housing (which is a unit of Student Life), provides living accommodations for approximately 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students. There is no requirement for first-year students to live in University Housing, yet approximately 97% of incoming students choose to do so.[1] Every year, over 9,500 undergraduate students are housed in 18 residence halls on Central Campus, the Hill Neighborhood, and North Campus.[2] Undergraduates, graduate students, and students with families can live in University Housing apartments in the Northwood Community on North Campus.[3] Seven full-service dining halls as well as several retail shops provide students with daily dining options.[4]
