I do not want to leave! I absolutely loved staying here. It has been a comfortable home base that has allowed me to stay focused on my career. It was a nervous move to Ann Arbor when I first arrived, however, everyone at IHAA was very kind which allowed me to quickly feel at home. Additionally, the location is fantastic being so close to campus.

It’s been great! I have enjoyed my stay and will gladly recommend IHAA to any friends, colleagues etc. who ask for advice on where to stay in Ann Arbor. I was only here four weeks but had I stayed longer I think the access to such an international community would have been life-changing for sure.

Living in the IHAA has given me the opportunity to meet new people from different backgrounds, nationalities and beliefs while serving as a home for this summer experience in the University of Michigan.

My experience at IHAA was an interesting one. Never in my life have I been surrounded by so many people of vastly different background from. It was really exciting to meet and interact with people from all over the world and with the various cultural appreciation programs IHAA hosts it was easy to bridge any gaps between us. Truly a wonderful experience!
