Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I want to attend Ross Preview Day as a way to visit the campus and learn more about the program. However, I also want to apply by the first round application deadline (October 10th) which falls prior to Ross Preview Day. What should I do?

A: While visiting campus prior to applying can help you assess whether the Ross MBA program is the right fit for you, we know that it may be difficult to do so before the Round I application deadline, or that you may prefer to attend one of our preview events. If that's the case, you can learn about Ross through other resources:
     1) Meet a Ross representative at one of our information sessions or at an MBA fair around the world
     2) Connect with a Ross Ambassador (current student)
If you do decide to visit campus before the Round I deadline, we encourage you to take advantage of our Class Visit & Tour Program. These run Monday through Thursday (we don't have classes on Fridays).

Q:  Where is the Ross School of Business located?

A:  The main entrance to Ross is located at 710 East University in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Once you arrive in the main lobby, please follow the signs for registration. 

Q:  How do I get to the University of Michigan?

A:  If you are flying, please book your tickets to Detroit International Airport (DTW).  Detroit is a Northwest Airlines hub, but is also serviced by most other major airlines.  The airport is 30 minutes drive from the University of Michigan campus.  Taxis form the airport to Ann Arbor typically cost ~$50 - $60.  The Ann Arbor Airport Shuttle rates run slightly cheaper.  A third alternative is the Michigan Flyer.  This shuttle services Ann Arbor at the Four Points Sheraton, which is a few dollar cab ride from Ross.

Q:  If I am driving, what are the directions to Ross?

A:  Detailed directions to the school are available here.

Please note that like many university campuses, parking is limited at the University of Michigan. However, should you choose to drive, the Forest Avenue Parking Structure is the closest public lot.  Parking validation will be provided for the Forest Avenue Parking Structure (located on the corner of Williard and South Forest).

Q:  How do I find my way around Ross?

A:  Maps will be provided when you check in at the registration table and directional signs will be posted in the lobby of the business school.
