Online Furniture Shopping

Happy first day of classes!! The International Center hopes that our students, new and returning, are having a great first day of their fall semester.   While classes may just be getting started, some of you may still be trying to get settled in your residence hall or apartment.  Because we couldn’t accommodate everyone on our Bed, Bath and Beyond  and IKEA shopping trips, we wanted to share some alternative shopping options for students still looking to purchase furniture.

Summer is my favorite season in Ann Arbor. Compared to the long, cold, and cloudy winter, summer is warm, not too hot, green, and mostly sunny. It's the perfect time to enjoy the good weather and engage in outdoor activities!  Canoe, Kayak and Tube - The City of Ann Arbor Tips: Wear quick-drying clothes and sandals, apply sunscreen, and avoid bringing valuable items on the boat to prevent water damage. Enjoy the rowing process and don't rush. Kayaking is my favorite summer activity in Ann Arbor. I remember the first time I went kayaking with my friend Lucy. We rented a two-person canoe and began our journey, paddling along the river from Argo to Gallop. The excitement started as we encountered several cascades, our boat flowing down mini waterfalls. The splashing water soaked our shoes and shorts, but the thrill of the new experience, the swift boat ride, and the cool breezes made the trip adventurous and exhilarating. The river, lined with numerous green trees, was broad and t...
