It has been great living here! I live in a top floor apt with a loft and the double ceiling makes the whole difference it gives you the sense of so much space.
The ammenities at S9 could be improved to more modern ones but nothing beats the location.

Filthy common areas. Lots of noise, from footsteps to parties. Packages get taken. Central location tho. Side by parizade gets noise from restaurants.

The only reason I'm paying $1220 a month for a 1BR in Durham is for the social aspect. Apartment is nice enough, but everything is average and if I weren't in business school I could get something similar for $600/month on my own.

This was described to me as the Fuqua Dorm because a majority of my classmates lived here. That's about the only appeal over other apartment complexes. It was great having other students in the building, but if people are starting to move elsewhere then S9 loses all value as a complex.

This probably one of the most social places for students, with many Fuquans living here. It's walking distance from Harris Teeter, and a short drive from school and nearby fastfood. Being walking distance from Tavern, enables a little after school drinks at Tavern on Tuesdays. If you are looking for a big gym or pool however, this may not be the most ideal.

It's fine if you're a fuqua student who wants to be around other students, easy access to Harris Teeter and school. Not recommended if you like reliable quiet in all parts of the building on all nights. Apartments are dated, as are the facilities (gym, pool, etc).

Great price compared to other amenity apartments in the area - not great price compared to Durham in general. Nice and easy going staff - generally allow residents to do whatever they want. Great social life for Fuqua students, easy to get work done and socialize there. Apartments are older than the other amenity buildings but significantly younger and nicer than other apartments in Durham.

Overall Station9 offers only one thing - being ode to social activities, which seems to be important mainly during your first year at Fuqua. Apart from that, the building isn't maintained very well and the management told us to our face that "student will keep coming here so we're not afraid of bad reviews or anything else". For example, one of the 3 elevators in the building, servicing some 30-50 apartments, was out of order for 5 months, and until one resident raised hell about it the management did nothing to solve it compensate. Another example was that during the (few) snow days we had, every other building used those crystals to melt the snow in their entrance ways, but S9 did nothing although people asked multiple times and pointed on the safety hazard. Additionally, the pool has been closed for weeks multiple times.
The apartments look worse than other complexes nearby (e.g. Lofts, trinity, 605, West Village), and the location is nice mainly because of Harris Teeter.
In retrospect, I would choose a different complex because S9 is over priced and the management doesn't care about anything but getting new people to sign.

1/2 our school lives here which makes it great for catching rides, heading out somewhere with friends, or as place to meet. Harris Teeter across the street means last minute dinner shopping is easy and there's 20 or so bars/restaurants within easy walking distance.

The apartments were new in 2010 so they're getting well-used at this point. They're about what you'd expect at any mid-level complex, nothing flashy, nothing awful. You pay a premium for the location. Don't live facing the pool if you're bothered by rambunctiousness. Don't live facing HT unless you're left of the main gate (facing the main gate) because the delivery trucks come in all night long.

Would live here again, it's the most convenient and the newer places on either side are more expensive.

Station Nine is great for its location and its community as its where a large majority of Fuqua students live. However, the value for the money is not as good as some of the other buildings off of Ninth Street and those closer to campus.
