Metro Towers

Make sure to read the terms of the lease, there's some pretty strict stuff in there. I got charged my full security deposit because a friend brought his dog into the apartment (there was no damage done). Metro is pretty trigger-happy with security deposits from what I've heard. They usually take several weeks to fix things unless it's an emergency. They're very accessible though, they've got plenty of staff in the office during working hours. Pretty quiet, relatively short drive from campus, and the apartment looks nice.

It has a great location near the law school and a very fair price. Location is not cleaned before you move in and maintenance is not the best. Washer and dryer included. Some of the doors can be a bit difficult to lock.

I love living at Metro. In my opinion, it is the best bang for your buck! It is very homie.

Although the individual bathrooms are appealing, the management company does not care about their tenants. The apartment above ours left the water running over night, flooding our apartment. The water ruined parts of my room and bathroom and left us without smoke detectors. After our initial call to the leasing office, the management team wanted ME to come downstairs to get a carpet cleaner to clean up the flooded water. Do not waste your money. Live a little further off campus and get a better deal.

I’ve had a pretty good experience here. I went to WVU for undergrad, so I have stayed at other apartment complexes for the prior four years. While this apartment is smaller than where I lived the past two years, maintenance is much for efficient and the price/location to the law school can’t be beat.

Great location from law school hill, only takes a few minutes to get there by car. Can walk to school too. Pets are allowed only as emotional support and service animals, but don’t cost extra in rent. It’s quiet for the most part, no issues with focusing on studying. Furnished. Not a lot of storage space, had to buy extra shelving

Overall, Metro Towers offers great value in walking distance of the law school. Apartments are furnished fairly completely, though I recommend bringing your own extra storage. In addition, you can sometimes ask the management to remove unwanted or damaged furniture and replace it during your move-in. While the office/management could be more helpful in resolving building issues, the maintenance guys are often very helpful in taking care of pests and other problems.

Very close and only need to leave 5 minutes before class starts. However, there are some out-of-the-ordinary kids that you may be matched with as your roommate, so one's future experience may depend upon that.
