Apartment has been good to me, it is what I need. But there are various annoyances within the building and with property management. I’ve recommended the building to others.

This is a good apartment for students. It's quiet during the week and management is responsive. Utilities are not included in the rent and can become somewhat pricey. There are no amenities, but you can use the Penn libraries and gym. The building is a mix of undergrads and grad students.

Very spacious and comfortable. Limited storage space. No trouble with utilities.

What initially attracted me to The Hub was it's close proximity to the University of Pennsylvania. It's literally right on campus so convenience-wise, it's pretty hard to beat. There's also a supermarket (Fresh Grocer) as well as several restaurants (Indian, Thai, Mexican, Korean, Japanese, Italian aka pizza) just a block away. Now the cons; what I really dislike about The Hub, is the high monthly utility bills. I don't know if it's because we have central air conditioning/heating, but a utility bill during the winter can go up to $300+! Also, construction for a new building/apt began literally 3 feet away next door to The Hub, and the noise can get really annoying, not to mention my view is now gone. Management is also pretty bad here; it can take several days for a repair request to get addressed. Until a year ago, there used to be someone downstairs at the lobby/"office" every day, but now there is rarely anyone there. If you're a grad/undergrad student at Upenn and want to live close to campus, then The Hub is a decent place to live in (just because it's newer than the other alternatives in University City), but it definitely has its downsides.

I am very happy with The Hub on Chestnut. It is close to campus. There is a LUCY stop right outside, and it is super easy to catch a bus or get to the subway. My apartment is very spacious and clean. It's quiet inside the buidling, and whenever I have had a maintenance issue, it has been fixed right away. I have already resigned the lease for another year.

Excellent proximity to the dental school with a lot of dental student residents. Rent is a bit pricey but well worth having your own washer/drier, dish washer, garbage disposal, central air and heat with thermostat. Utilities are outrageous. Fixed fees every month not including usage fees are around $45. Utilities end up being between $90 and $120 for a studio. Cable and internet are only available through Phillynet and the internet varies on it's quality. The building is well lit and secure. UPS will leave package at your door which is huge. Hardly ever find bugs in the apt and NEVER mice or cockroaches!

I love everything about this building. The location is extremely convenient, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and prompt with requests.

The building is only 15-20 min walk from the Design Building, which is on the 34th and Walnut. The surrounding is somewhat safe except during the late evening. Being close to a grocery shop is also a plus. Very conveniently located and the rooms are enough to have one bed, one desk, a printer, a cabinet, and a closet.
