Your New Neighborhood
The City of Flint, located in southeastern Michigan, is a mid-size city with a population of approximately 125,000. Although the city is best known as the birthplace of General Motors, shifts in industry have caused the area to become better known for its educational opportunities, cultural center, shopping centers, and recreational activities, including the Crim Festival of Races.
Students at UM-Flint can take advantage of downtown Flint's growing cultural activities, businesses, coffee shops, eateries, and community events throughout the week and weekends. Due to many community groups and projects, the rehabilitation, redevelopment, and revitalization of downtown Flint has sparked the interest of local and regional developers and businesses to make their home in your new neighborhood.
Getting Around
UM-Flint has more than sufficient parking for all students, faculty, and staff. The campus is walkable-a student can walk the entire campus in just 12 minutes. The Mass Transportation Authority (MTA) also offers shuttle service to students, either looping around campus or providing transportation to area shopping centers, grocery stores, or other conveniences.
