Maybe look at Megabus? It runs into A2 and then the city bus runs downtown.
Oh god that sounds miserable. I'm thinking of driving, but it would be nice to be able to carpool

I've done Megabus Boston/NYC and it's AWFUL. Drive if you can.

I think this has come up a time or two ITT and I think the general response is no but they do subsidize hotel room. And give you some meals, not sure.

Nvmd. I saw someone said they came in that morning... I'll probs do that. Did people rent cars or just go around by bus? I'd like to do some apartment-searching.

The staff were rude, the pick up/drop off locations were random and in places you wouldn't want to be standing on the curb waiting for a bus. The driver was a horrible driver, we almost died a couple of times during our 4 hour drive and there were a lot of annoying teenagers on our trip. That might just be the type of people on public transportation between Boston and NY though.

I know this is an unusual year without the LC, but since we need to find roommates to live in many of the 1L apartments, it would be great if admissions would facilitate this in some way.

There's a speed-roommate thing at ASW.

If you decide not to rent a car, the Michigan Flyer bus picks up at the airport and drops off near a bus that drops off directly in front of the law school.
Shuttle from Airport: http://www.michiganflyer.com/
Bus System around A2: http://www.aata.org/routes.asp
The Wolverine Tower Shuttle picks up in front of the high rise next to the hotel the Flyer drops off at, but only during business hours. There is also a route that picks up further down the block that runs better hours that will take you to campus, but someone else better versed in the bus system will have to help me out with the number![]()
As for taking the train into Ann Arbor, you can hop bus #1 and then transfer to get to the Law School. The train station is over by the Medical side of campus instead of the Law School side.
If you are apartment hunting, you might want to consider renting a car though- you never know what the weather will be like and you don't want to spend valuable hunting time waiting for the bus.
