Not Bad
The apartment building is pretty maintained. There is sometimes some nuisance by the workers who would start upkeeping the premises during late hours. The fire alarm often goes off when you least expect it. The management and GHAs are not very responsive though.

It’s overall great
It’s good. Great location with very close shuttle, nicely renovated inside, good price. If I die and reincarnate tomorrow, I still wanna live here. EXCEPT 1. Lots of fruitflies in the summer which are lowkey manageable. 2. Firealarm goes off so so so often! They don’t care if it’s morning or night. Be ready for that.

The living environment is very comfortable
The living environment is very comfortable, but some of the equipment can be a little problematic at times. For example, the air conditioning and the sink.

Life at 580 Commonwealth Ave
The studio apartment is too tiny to be even called a studio. Some people have kept pet animals (dogs) on some floor(s) even when the property is a non-pet zone (except for service animals). There is often water clogging in the kitchen and bathroom areas. The fire alarm is overly sensitive and buzzes off at midnight for no obvious reason, forcing everyone to evacuate the building.

Review
The overall experience is good, except that some students do not comply with the housing rules and caused a few fire alarms, sometimes during the daytime and one time in late night! It also happened in the coldest day of Boston this year and twice in a day! And some students often spilled coffee or drinks in the elevators and it took a while for the cleaning staff to clean it. I hope that every student living in the on-campus housing would abide by the rules. There shall be rules to take care of situations like this (maybe in the lease agreement in bold and underlined): if you violate the rules for more than twice, you shall not live there; it is so rude to other people. Sometimes some students came back in late nights and talked / laughed very loudly in the hallway. Overall, the property is fine enough for a student.
