Collegetown Terrace

The daily shuttle to the law school is great

Great location (under 15 min walk to the law school) and good amenities. Gym, on-site covered parking, and a shuttle that goes to school every 10 minutes in the morning. Definitely the priciest in Collegetown but worth it if you value convenience above all else. Buildings/hallways definitely have a college dorm feel, but the units themselves are furnished a step above dorm living.

Convenient & cozy

Some units are much better than others in the complex. Make sure to secure housing early. My unit is more dorm style with a small bedroom, then shared amenities including kitchen, bathroom, shower, etc.

Good enough

Collegetown Terrace (CTT)'s strength is its location and gym facilities. It is located between collegetown and downtown, so you can walk to anywhere except for malls (Walgreen, Ithaca mall..). However, bus station is near the apartment and you can also use the shuttle. This place is good for students without cars! However, as many people mentioned, it has noise problem and the rent is quite expensive if you don't have roommates. Also, internet connection is weak.

Not the best place to live in the city, nor the cheapest (definitely). However, if you don't know the area well, management responsivity is good and will be a good choice for your first year.

Good location and amenities

My apartment in CTT is totally adequate. It's overpriced for a studio but it's reasonably nice and close to campus and to downtown.

CTT is in a great location and you are surrounded by so many of your classmates. However, there is a running joke that the apartments are a "prison cell", at least the 3b/3b. For example, the windows don't really open and are generally inaccessible (given furniture placement). You do feel boxed in. also, the 3b/3b living room isn't really accommodating to hosting parties and the kitchen is super small.

recommend living in the 2b/2b
