This place was perfect for me. What sold me was the free 24 hour fitness center. That saved me about $25/month from having to buy a membership somewhere(I used my savings to help pay for a garage). Paying my rent online was nice too(especially when its cold outside :) ) I also liked that Fareway grocery store is literally right behind Thunder Ridge so if you live here all of your essentials are nearby.
Its hard to rate maintenance because I never had any problems for them to come. I did see them throughout the property working however.
I have friends who live closer to campus and I hear about loud parties, etc... but I haven't heard really anything noisy when I was there. Its close enough to UNI to get their quickly but far enough away to avoid the "college" party scene.
Only thing I didn't really like was that UPS delivered too early so by the time I got off work I'd missed them. The cool thing though is that the office will hold your packages for you if you want. One time I even asked if they would put the package in my apartment for me and they did! I'm not sure if they do this for everyone or just me. I prefer to think just me ;-)
All in all I really miss living there. Now I'm in a bigger city and places like Thunder Ridge don't exist here.
