Truly a magical place! A2 exists in its own world and operates drastically different from anywhere outside the city line. As the most educated city in America, A2 is full of sharp and highly intelligent people. These people tend to be very eccentric, youthful, and sometimes prickly or rude, regardless of age. It's a city of the forever young! Very walkable and dense in the urban center and stunningly beautiful everywhere you go. World-class dining, an incredibly diverse population, and a strong sense of community and optimism. Most of the population is incredibly wealthy which in turn makes living costs incredibly expensive for everyone else. However, living here is worth the price tag for the experience.
Pro tip living here: take little trips into the real world (outside city lines) to give yourself a mental break sometimes. A2 is such a highly academic environment (even if you're not in school) it can sometimes be draining and feel like you're trapped in a bubble.

It is a very busy college town with lots to do! I live in a safe community away from downtown hustle and the undergraduates. I have heard that the main residential areas can get a bit rowdy over the weekends, especially on big sporting event days. I stick to Kerrytown for boutique shopping, and love walking around downtown Ann Arbor on Sundays. Parking is insane here and very limited. It is even hard to get decent parking when I work for the University. That's why I enjoy events and walking around town on Sundays when parking is free. Overall, I have enjoyed my experience here!
Ann Arbor is a great town with a lot of things to try. Whether it be the art festival, or top of the park, it has great night life as well. The Huron river allows it to be one of the more fun attractions which people are seen swimming, kayaking or tubing. Great for a summer heat! Downtown Ann Arbor has a range of restaurants that showcase the melting pot here in the city.
