Florent Gillet is a mixed-gender residence hall that is home to first-year LEAPS students located on the Marygrove campus in Detroit. LEAPS is a program within the U-M Marsal Family School of Education. 

Directly connected to academic and recreational spaces, Florent Gillet is part of a wooded campus serving as a community hub for neighborhoods in northwestern Detroit.

At Florent Gillet, you’ll have a community of Residential Staff who are trained and ready to help you succeed in your new home. Your Resident Advisor will be there to help build community, lead activities and answer questions. Learn everything there is to know about Residential Staff and services here.

Transportation
Free transportation is available between Detroit and Ann Arbor on a regular schedule. 

LEAPS students can also park their personal cars on the Marygrove campus for free with a Marygrove Conservancy Pass. This parking pass does not apply to parking on the U-M Ann Arbor campus, so students will need to buy a separate parking permit from the university.  

Students can request a monthly Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) bus pass by emailing [email protected].
