University of Michigan - Flint

Residential housing at the University of Michigan-Flint will stimulate campus life as well as contribute to the redevelopment of downtown Flint.

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 and the Buick Open (part of the PGA Tour).

Residential 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.

Flint and Genesee County welcome you to sample its diverse mix of cultural, educational, historical and entertainment experiences minutes from your new home to add to your educational experience at UM-Flint.
