Housing Information for Incoming Students

Students are strongly advised not to purchase a home or expect to otherwise settle in the local area. All students should expect to relocate to one of the seven clinical campuses across the state of Michigan at the end of the Year II, except in cases of documented hardships. Home ownership does not meet the criteria for hardship. For assistance finding a roommate, information will be provided by the OSAS in preliminary communication.
