what is review title?
very bad experience!! The house is filled with roaches when i moved in. The trash room is always filled with garbages and smells. My room is see-through from the stairway. Can not control AC mode.

great location ... other stuff bumpy
Very convenient location. Very expensive for what you get. Good study spaces. Might be less chaotic in 24/25; in 2023, move-in was chaos after a rehab of the building over the summer. Big plus: it's furnished, which made moving much easier.

Great Location
The apartment is 5-minute away from the law school. Ideal for first-year law students who are busy. The rent is very reasonable for the location and the amenities.

Just Okay
Great location and relatively fair price for living in studio with internet and water included in the rent, but management is not responsive and amenities breakdown from time to time.

Convenient
Living across the street from the law school makes any downsides worth it. Building was just renovated so all the rooms are new with new appliances and furniture. All of it feels very cheaply made...but it's a furnished apartment so you can't complain too much. Building management is not very on top of running a building - amenities purport to exist but are frequently not functioning or have not been set up (e.g., a gym, package management system, trash/recycling). The building is entirely grad students...so the common areas are often pretty gross when people leave their garbage and discarded food containers everywhere. But at the end of the day if all you need is an apartment to yourself across from the school, it's hard to beat this building. And having all the utilities included is great and takes out any worry going in about cost variability.

Right Next to School
Very good location if you want to be next to school; was just constructed, so feels new and clean. Very small spaces, but for the price (and furnished state), it's great.

The Accolade
Extremely convenient location and it's great having all amenities included in the rent. Management is alright and since it's a new building there are a lot of maintenance issues (our dryers especially) that will hopefully be fixed by next year. The space is tiny-- you're essentially paying for convenience, not really the apartment itself.

Thin Wall
The major problems of 2b2b are thin wall and lack of space. The living room of 2b2b is big, but bedroom is small.

Lately it has gotten a little noisy at night on my street, but otherwise I have few complaints about the neighborhood.
