The building is old and falling apart. The AC units are over 60 yrs old and original to the building. They produce a weird smell when turned on. There is little temperature control in the units as well. There is no thermostat in my unit.ā€¦Ā See More >

                  This community is sufficient as a place to live while going to school. While there are necessities for an apartment, the sizes of the apartments are quite small for the heavy price tag associated.

                      It's good, but I wish there was cable privided. I feel like that should be required. I love the 24/7 gym because I like to workout in the morning and not seeing many people there is really nice. Overall, it's good!
