uh... are you familiar with Michigan's Residential College? It's Michigan's first living-learning community dated back in 1967. I was gonna suggest the OP to look into the RC as it may be a good place for her to start at the U-M.
"The RC is a small living-learning community at UM with a focus on immersive langauge learning, the social sciences, creative writing, and the arts."
