I have no idea for any international students questions (besides you picked an incredible school in terms of getting a great dose of American culture).

1) It is easier to get into Ross your freshman year but you need to really focus on the application as it’s pretty competitive still (35-40% acceptance). Look heavily into the BBA website as well as the threads here on CC to get more information.

2) That is completely up to you. Take classes here that interest you and see what you like best. Financial math is always an option as well as economics, but any program at Michigan is likely to be awesome.

3) Like entenduit said choose central campus as your preferred housing. If you want to guarantee housing on central campus however (definitely worth it in my opinion) I would look into the learning communities (RC and Alice Lloyd Scholars) and see if any of those interest you. They are housed in dorms on central campus.

4) Very few freshmen have cars and a pretty small percentage of students as a whole have cars, so that is nothing to worry about. Public transportation combined with taxi service will get you anywhere that you want, including to the airport and to the mall, which are the only far away places you’d ever need to get to, everything else is walking distance including the entire city.
