This Munger residence looks great. You’d get to know people throughout the campus in different programs because you would have a common area that 3 - 7 peopled shared.

I was an Engineering PhD who stayed in Northwood. I would choose Munger over Northwood any day. Northwood is really a dump, and you don’t really get to know any of your neighbors. There is nothing to do near north campus. Living in Northwood and being an engineering student felt claustrophobic. You just couldn’t get away and clear your head…This is important when doing a PhD…trust me.

I moved to central early in my PhD program, and never regretted it. Sadly, Munger was not built. Unless you don’t have a car, you’ll want to be in Munger…
