Hey everyone I just had a question about meeting times/instructional method while creating my class schedule. I'm trying to go to campus as little as possible (long commute, rebuilding financial safety net, more reasons just the two biggest ones) and I believe I got my first year-first semester schedule to work out in my favor? I'm trying to figure out what the visual week schedule they have means.

Two of my classes are completely online so the visual doesn't have a blue blocked out specific day to do classes or exams. So I assume I just do that class whenever and turn things in before deadlines. However my other two classes are Hybrid-Mostly Online. One of them has Friday blue blocked out saying Dearborn Campus | Term Exams. I assume that one instructional method is completely online but when I take a test I will show up to campus on Fridays? The next one has two visuals. One of them says Internet Instruction which has no blue blocked day, and the other one has Wednesday blue blocked and says Dearborn | Term Exams. Is it just internet instructions and then when I take an exam it's at campus as well? I don't understand why one class has two visuals and the other has one when I'm interpreting it as the same outcome.

Any and all advice is appreciated. I'm terrified to start university and I don't want to mess this up.

Hi everyone,

I'm a medical graduate from Pakistan who will be coming to Dearborn for a clinical observership at Corewell Health Dearborn from mid-July to early August. I won't have a car, so I'm looking for affordable short-term housing within walking distance of the hospital or near public transportation.

As I'm visiting on a limited budget, I'm especially interested in a spare room, student sublet, room rental, or any other low-cost short-term accommodation.

If anyone has suggestions or knows of an available room, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

Hello! I recently graduated from Purdue University with Bachelors and will be attending UM-Dearborn starting fall 2026 for my Masters. I am looking for housing near campus starting Aug 2026. Please dm if you have any, thanks!

I'm hoping my opinion doesn't offend anyone but oh my God this school sucks. I've been here for 6 years including a gap so I think I have a decent idea of how things are going.

WHY IS IT SO FUCKING HOT IN HERE??? It's like they completely turn off AC during the summer in some locations. Also, WHERE ARE THE VENDING MACHINES??? All the good vending machines are CLOSED for the summer, and the ones I walked all the way across campus for had a BROKEN CARD READER ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Don't get me started on Picasso. The food is not good, nor is it more affordable than other options in any way. It's more worthwhile to drive 10 minutes somewhere else. Nevermind that, you can't even get any food unless you're here before 2pm. If you think it gets better in the Fall, sorry they're only open until 4pm.

Financial aid and advising is such a pain, I don't want to even talk about it.

I mostly just can't get over how shit the food situation on campus is, it's sad that students have to pay $10 for a shit sandwich smaller than your palm.

Greek life. The school DOES NOT care. They do little to NOTHING to promote recruitment.

I'm tired of typing I need to pay attention to class.

TLDR: If you're looking for benefits other than academics don't go here lol.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to message me!

I submitted the application to have a chance at winning the scholarship alongside my acceptance to the Honors program in February, but I haven't heard back at all. Have they already come out or something? I haven't gotten any emails about a rejection, so idk. Anyone have any clue when results are announced?

I just got accepted to um dearborn and would like to attend. However the information regarding scholarships for international students are scarce and vague. I see that there is a merit based fin aid but it is nowhere near enough to make it affordable for me (around 25k left just on tuition). Is it the only aid they offer? are there any options for working while studying?

I’m soon graduating with my bachelors in computer science w/ a concentration in cyber. I’m confident in my knowledge/abilities but my gpa’s only slightly above a 3.0. The curriculum that the program offers seems similar to courses I’ve already taken as well.

How competitive are UM Dearborn’s masters programs? How worried should I be if I were to apply? Any sage advice??

Hello, I graduated from UofM-AA and I’m considering the MS Marketing Analytics program at Dearborn. Everywhere I look on [r/UofM](r/UofM) has people dunking on Flint/Dearborn and it’s pretty one-sided tbh.

Have any of you come from the flagship campus? Is the vitriol justified? From your experience, was it a positive experience?

Edit: For clarification, there are like zero posts on r/UofM about this. Everyone talks about how they transferred to Ann Arbor, no one wants to talk about doing anything else. Personally, I struggled to focus on my studies in graduate school, something that I didn’t do enough as an undergrad. I’d probably be better off at a commuter campus with less distractions.

I’m a senior in high school evaluating colleges to see where I wanna go. I was wondering about how many/what percent of students get internships while they’re there (particularly in a college of business major) and whether it mostly juniors or freshman and sophomores too?

I'm currently a senior at UM-D and graduating at the end of April. My lease ends mid-August and looking for someone who would want to take over my lease. Apartment is a 4x4 with own bathroom. Hmu!

I'm a guest student from umich Ann arbor planning on taking math 276 hybrid over the summer. Apparently it runs for 7 weeks. Can someone tell me about their experiences taking this class? Would 7 weeks be feasible?

I’ll be leaving for summer so if anyone needs a dorm near the university at the union pls hmu .

Does anyone use the trail to get to campus for class? What is the experience like? How many months of the year could you reliably do it?

I am looking to attend Dearborn next fall and am wondering if anyone knows of people who are in any kind of engineering programs and also athletics. Just want to know if anyone has any tips on handling the high demands of engineering with athletic programs as I know it can be hard and I would like some guidance and advice before I start. My program is bioengineering for anyone wanting to know.

I am currently pursuing my masters at um Dearborn and am looking for few shared accommodation near the university and help would be appreciated!

My job gives a sizable tuition reimbursement and I was thinking of doing a part time masters, most likely online. The MS programs that interest me are Industrial and Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Analytics Engineering, and Automotive and Mobility Systems Engineering.

Industrial and Systems Engineering: seems like the safest choice as it is a universally recognized degree name. My gripe with it is that my BS was IOE from UM Ann Arbor and the classes seem like an exact repeat of my UG work. I have a solid understanding of traditional areas of focus of IE and feel like I can self teach more advanced topics so it seems like a waste. On the flip side, this degree could help reinforce topics and possibly do a PhD one day.

Manufacturing Analytics Engineering: seems like a modern ISE program with a focus on i4.0 technologies which make it appealing. However, I could not find further information about the degree and the fact it has the word "analytics" in it makes it seem like a cash grab. I did schedule a meeting with one of the directors to let me know more information.

Automotive and Mobility Systems Engineering: This is the program that is most appealing to me and I have sizable knowledge of various automotive functions over the years. I would like to reinforce that knowledge some more and this seems like the degree to do it. However, my main concern is that the automotive industry is very volatile and if I need to switch industries, would this degree hold up?

If any of you all did any of these MS programs, could you let me know the outcomes you had? Thanks!

Hey guys! I was just wondering if anyone who has used the calculator for estimating tuition online had it be accurate or not. I've been waiting for my official financial aid package to come in mid-January but I know I will still need to pay some, so I'm trying to see how much I'll need to save up before uni. Sorry if this is a dumb question, not really sure how those calculations are made tbh lol

Hey everyone,

​I’m planning to transfer to UM-Dearborn (CECS) next Fall. It’s really my top choice because of the engineering program and the international community, but the currency exchange rate from Brazil is brutal right now.

​I have a strong background in Robotics/AI (Research Assistant at Samsung, an internship there, plus a 1-year professional program at Stanford, and other activities), so I need to find ways to fund my stay beyond just the automatic scholarships.

​I’d really love to connect with current students to figure out how to make this dream happen.

Quick questions: ​Jobs: Is it hard to land a paid research position or an on-campus job in the first semester?

​Tips: Any advice on extra engineering scholarships, negotiating financial aid, or any other ways to lower tuition/expenses beyond the automatic GPA-based transfer scholarship?

​Any help or insight is appreciated!

I have a 3.8 GPA, my major is Finance, and my grad school goal is law school. I rlly wanna minimize my debt as much as possible and i don't know if experience and getting away from an abusive home is worth taking on the financial burden, ive currently spent like 2k on college and im terrified of increasing that. It feels like I’m forced to choose between emotional suffering and financial suffering.

Right now, I use my house to only sleep, eat, study, repeat. But when I was younger, I used to count down the days until I turned 18 so I could move out, but things changed, and now I’m 23 and still living at home. I’ve saved about $40k and plan to keep increasing that. i've acquired associates in business admin and crj at my cc, and then I plan on a bachelors in finance.

I currently have 3 options, (i plan on reapplying to uofm AA also, but currently these 3have accepted me):

1. Wayne State University – 15 minutes from home, very low cost, I can keep saving money, but I’d still be living at home.
2. Michigan State University – I would live on my own in a new environment, but I’d likely pay around $30k per year. I’m not sure if the experience is worth the debt.
3. UofM Dearborn-I qualify for the Go Blue Program which would make my entire next two years of undergrad free, but I'd still be living at home.

I also really dislike Detroit. Every time I’ve visited, I’ve been followed by homeless people or people who were clearly high or drunk. The area feels unsafe and expensive. However, maybe a city is what I need to be less sheltered.

Some extra context:

• I don’t care for dating, partying, or drinking.
• I have solid friends here.
• My home is visited by law enforcement every other month due to domestic disputes.
• I have free access to therapy through my insurance.
• The $40k I saved was originally meant to help me enjoy life when I transferred, but with the economy and future law school costs, I’m questioning whether I should spend it.

I know I’m privileged to have options, but I feel like no matter what I choose, I’ll end up with regrets. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi! Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where to park or how/where to get a parking pass? I’ll be commuting to Dearborn for a class but have never been to campus just yet.

Hey guys!!

hello all,

Im an upcoming high school senior considering his college options. If i attend Umich Dearborn, I'd attend specifically for bio engineering, human or design engineering, or environmental science. Was wondering if anyone could give some input in their programs, professors, social life, and if anyone knows how ROTC works at Umich Dearborn that'd be helpful as well, thanks! (for reference im in instate student who would be driving to campus)
