July 2016 | Ann Arbor Regent Hotel & Suites

Choosing the right college is a big decision. If your child is in their junior or senior year of high school, they may be thinking of visiting college campuses in the region. At the Ann Arbor Regent, we want parents and families to be as comfortable as possible while visiting the various colleges and universities, and we believe our hotel is the perfect destination for your comfort. We encourage parents and families to explore our exceptional local schools through the wealth of tours made available to prospective students.

The University of Michigan is one of only two public colleges to be consistently ranked in the top ten colleges in the U.S. It’s no wonder many students have their eyes on it! U-M offers a handful of different tours, including tours for prospective students and their families and tours for special groups, such as Upward Bound. They also offer a special tour called Transfer Tuesdays, a tour designed specifically for transfer students. Tour space is limited, so they ask that you make reservations early and don’t make travel plans until your visit is confirmed.

Students wishing to tour Eastern Michigan University can expect to see the Student Center, the dorms, the library, the recreational center—and to have free lunch if your tour is scheduled on a weekday morning! The Honors Program also gives special tours to honors students. Those interested in touring Eastern Michigan should contact the admissions office for more information.

Another school that may be of interest is Concordia University Ann Arbor, which is also only three miles from our hotel. Undergraduate and transfer students can sign up for a tour via the Concordia website. Graduate students may want to contact the department to schedule a visit with an advisor.

The smaller, more personal option of a community college may work best for some students, and Washtenaw Community College is a great choice for those who are looking for a two-year degree or who want to transfer to a four-year college later on.

Exploring a new school can be exhausting, so as your child takes campus tours at colleges in the area, we hope you’ll allow us to offer our services as a comfortable home base.

Location

The best place for a conference should offer convenient access for the attendees. A central area helps to eliminate problems with people getting lost, being late, or opting not to come at all. Ease of parking is also an important consideration. The Ann Arbor Regent Hotel and Suites is conveniently located within a close proximity to all area universities and colleges, the UofM football stadium, and all area hospitals. It also has dedicated parking with no stairs or hallways to navigate.

Size

Facilities and meeting rooms should be large enough to comfortably and safely accommodate all attendees. The hotel offers customized meeting rooms to match the number of people attending. An oversized room is not conducive to a successful gathering because it will be difficult to assemble people together to see and hear the presentations. The Ann Arbor Regent offers a number of meeting room sizes to fit your needs.

Amenities

Having some amenities will also ensure a successful event. Ann Arbor Regent Hotel and Suites offers complimentary wireless Internet connectivity throughout the venue to ensure that guests’ laptops and mobile devices work smoothly. The venue also provides screens, projectors, podiums, sound systems, blackout shades, and electronic systems for DVD, CD, and Mp3, as well as an on-site prep kitchen.

Services and Accommodations

Out-of-town attendees will likely need overnight accommodations to enable them to attend the convention. Blocks of rooms will permit people to stay at the hotel, often at a reduced rate negotiated for attendees.

Successful conferences don’t just happen. But, at the Ann Arbor Regent Hotel and Suites, we can help you attend to every detail.
