-baidu 1point3acres1st year students at North Campus usually live in either Northwood or Willowtree if they don't have car. Here is a brief comparison between Northwood and Willowtree.. Χ
1. Rent:
Northwood: $560 a month, includes everything.
Willowtree: ~$400 a month, does not include internet and electricity..
2. Location:. 1point 3acres
Northwood: At most 10min walk from Northwood I~IV to North Campus. Blue bus is serving all Northwood houses all the year (comes every 10min in workdays and 20min in the weekend. 7AM-3AM), which is quite convenient. 5-10min walk to Kroger and Asian market. Northwood has perfect location.
Willowtree: ~25min walk to North Campus, which is painful in the winter. AATA bus comes every 30min and ends at 10PM in workdays, every 1hr and ends at 5PM in the weekend. ~15min walk to Kroger and Asian market.
3. House and Environment:
Willowtree Northwood

In my opinion, students who are not sensitive to rent cost generally prefer Northwood because of its perfect location.
7 我之前听说,买家具要开车去底特律旁边,回来自己组装,挺烦的。要是买之前学长的二手家具,也不知道如何去寻找,broadview 1275/Month 家具全包,all utilities included, 感觉比较省心,价格和willowtree,northwood 一个月也差不了100 美元。不知道分析的对不对?
——没错,就是比Northwood贵100块钱而已。缺点是交通、去超市没有Northwood方便,优点是不用买家具。自己衡量吧。. 1point 3acres

8 如果住在 broadview ,一般怎么去学校上课呢?直接走吗?还是走到 blue bus 站台,然后坐车过去?好像 broadview 有free winter shuffle, 不知道能不能到学校?
——去北校区的话,那就是走路了。20min能走到系里吧。或者骑自行车?winter shuttle我不知道,看网站说是可以去北校区,但是频率是个问题,肯定不像blue bus 10min一趟那么方便。
9 我刚才打电话问了下 broadview,说有 free winter shuttle, 11月开到来年5月,早8点到下午5点,一小时一班,送到 north and central campus, 请问这样是不是交通就比较okay了?-baidu 1point3acres
——1hr一班,和AATA差不多。问题是晚上5点就没了。所以如果你可以接受在家里学习的话,那就没问题。如果在图书馆或者机房的话(很多软件都得在机房用),晚上回家就会不方便。
22 之前一直想定 broadview, 但听你介绍,感觉对于我这样第一年到UM的master,要去图书馆学习的话, 位置还是最重要的,northwood IV 应该不错。听说 I II III 都不开放了,那 IV V 预定情况是不是很紧张啊?
——不太清楚……我们老人还没开始renew呢,就更不知道新生了……. 1point 3 acres

23 请问 Northwood 一个月 all utilities included 是 1100 吗?包括 internet吗?学联是否可以打折?
——560×2=1120.除了电视一个月20刀,剩下的全包。不打折。
