Collegetown Terrace

Walking distance from campus. Has parking & gym in building. Lots of law students live here.

The room itself is spacious and plenty of storage in the bedroom. Kitchen is small, with virtually no storage (4 drawers, 2 usable cabinets total) and as someone who uses cooking as a way to relieve stress, I had to buy an extra shelf to have somewhere to put my plates. The handles on both my fridge/freezer and microwave have come off on two separate occasions each.
The furnishings are cheap and uncomfortable. The couch has shed much of its thin faux leather covering through normal wear and tear; the chairs are a weird lattice that make it very uncomfortable to sit on when you're wearing shorts, and leave deep grooves in your skin. The floorboards in my room squeak and the walls are thin--you can hear music coming from both the room below you and the ones on either side of you.
There's a gym in the building, which is reasonably large and well-appointed, but all of the cardio machines are in front of a large glass wall that faces the street where people walk into the building, which is less than great when you're at your sweaty worst and you see someone you know.
They do not allow pets. Management has been rude and honestly mean in the past, though seem to have gotten a bit nicer after Maplewood opened up and they finally had competition. Management is inflexible, and unhelpful when it comes to finding subtenants if the need arises. They do not sign for packages, which are left open in a common area and theft has been an issue in the past.

One of the few redeeming qualities is the shuttle, which picks up in front of the building and drops off very close to the law school. They added a grocery shuttle this year, which is also nice.

One of the older CTT buildings so it does not have AC or in unit washer. But very convenient and management/maintenance are very responsive.

There is a shuttle that runs to campus every 10 minutes during the week.

Cons - Walls are very thin, kitchen is shared by up to 4.5 people which causes messes, heating is controlled by a single console so consensus needs to be reached on an agreeable temperature, internet goes out from time to time.

Pros - Shuttle bus to campus is reliable and useful, a new weekend service to grocery stores is appreciated as well.

It's close to the school, there is a shuttle that takes you to campus. It's a very convenient place. There are many study rooms in the buildings as well.

CTT: It Gets The Job Done

Clean and reasonably well-maintained. Pricey but it includes perks like buses to school and wegmans which is useful especially when it’s snowing outside.

For a 1st year MBA student it is an easy transition to live at CTT. Close enough to walk to class (uphill though) or you can take the shuttle.

The complex has well maintained amenities (gym, group rooms, bus route to campus), but poor management. Upon signing my lease I was informed a 24 hour notice needed to be given for any entrance into my apartment unit for showings and general maintenance (excluding emergencies). However, during my stay I was informed that they are only required to try to "notify me as early as possible", but that no 24 hour notice was required. Furthermore, I then figured out they went into every apartment over winter holidays without notice to the tenants.
