Housing

You’ll find all the comforts and conveniences of home—a place to rest, read, study and socialize—right here in our campus community.

It’s an exciting time to be a student at UM-Dearborn. You can choose to live in The Union at Dearborn, the housing option located adjacent to campus, or off campus in one of many friendly and safe local neighborhoods. We suggest visiting campus to get familiar with the area.

As long as you’re not living at home, you can even use financial aid to cover the cost of housing. After subtracting tuition and fees from your scholarships, grants and accepted loans, any remaining funds are eligible to pay the rent.
