Northwood III

Northwood III is home to up to 250 first-year undergraduate students on Michigan's thriving North Campus. This co-ed community combines all the support and social opportunities of a residence hall with the abundant amenities of apartment-style suites.

Each suite has one or two bedrooms, a shared bathroom, a small kitchenette and an area for living/dining or studying. (Suitemates can determine how best to use the common living area.) The nearby Community Center offers a focal point for information and activity, as well as a casual spot to hang out with friends, talk with the staff, watch movies or play video games. Laundry facilities are also housed there.

Northwood III surrounds landscaped courtyards with seating and picnic tables. During the fall and spring, these courtyards will serve as natural gathering spaces for residents. The expansive green lawns are used for picnics, Frisbee tournaments and many other impromptu activities.

Many life-long friendships have grown from the opportunities provided through residential living programs at Michigan.

• Residents of the Northwood III participate in the First Year Experience, a program designed to address the transitional needs of first-year college students. Check out what students are saying about the First Year Experience at Northwood III.
• For fun, friendship, mentoring, study groups and more, we encourage all residents to get involved in the Northwood Houses Community.
• Live-in resident advisors (RAs) are housed in every building. They help students feel welcome, answer questions, provide support and encouragement, and help residents meet up and make friends.
• Student government is provided through the Council of Northwood Houses and offers many leadership opportunities to residents. With guidance and support from staff, the organization works to create and nurture an atmosphere of community and camaraderie in this unique campus neighborhood.

Residential Dining is provided at nearby Bursley Hall. The Blue Apple Café, also in Bursley Hall, is a student favorite—don't miss the pizzas and smoothies!

The North Campus Recreation Building is just across the street. This U-M fitness facility includes a swimming pool, indoor running track, cardio machines, a weight room, racket ball courts and much more.

U-M buses provide transportation to and from Central Campus while the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (AATA) buses help students make their way around town. Both provide free and frequent service; bus stops are just across from the Northwood III on Hubbard Road. Learn more about transportation services.

Northwood III residents can obtain a vehicle parking permit from the Northwood Community Center.  Guest permits are also available.  Air conditioners are permitted, subject to the air conditioning policies and procedures.
