Collegetown Terrace

CTT advertises as having internet and cable included in your rent, however cable is not actually included. You have to pay extra for a cable plan and then get it installed. The internet speed is horrible, and most nights it actually stops working completely. When you complain to the building, they say there is nothing that they can do to help and direct you to speak with their IT person, however it is the building managements responsibility to fix this.
Also, the buildings are on the side of a mountain so not all floors are accessible from all elevators and entry ways. It's extremely confusing to get around, hard to get food delivered, and there is no signage to help direct people. The walls in a 2 bedroom apartment are so thin that you can hear every word of your roommates conversation, noises from other apartments and even alarms going off in other rooms. Homeless people also pick through the trash in the garages so it is not as safe as some other buildings in the area.

Location is very convenient- close to both downtown and Cornell's campus. The shuttle is a really quick way to get to campus in the mornings. One consistent issue is the internet- it is included in the rent but is often slow or cuts in and out.

Collegetown Terrace (CTT) is an amazing apartment. My building is clean, quiet, and spacious. The management is very friendly and always available for questions. The bus to campus is an amazing feature of living here. My favorite aspect of living at CTT is that I can pay my rent using a credit card, which most places do not allow.

Overall a great place to live. My apartment is in a high traffic area so it is noisier than other places, outside of that it's ok. Been having internet issues that management is still working through. Seems like most of the international students live here. The amenities are good with the shuttle service, fitness center, and study areas.

Even though Wifi does not work well, staff does not work on it quickly. This problem has been an issue over a month, but still we have problems using internet.

I've lived at Collegetown Terrace for the past two years and really enjoy it. Units are spacious and come furnished. There are communal study rooms with great views / a lot of natural light. The complex is close to campus (they also provide a shuttle service). There is also covered parking available.

Apartment itself is perfect. Occasional issues with the Wifi is only downside.

The WiFi (included in rent doesn't work). The water doesn't get hot in the winter. The AC and heat often break. It's like a prison but you get to pay rent too!

This place sucks! The internet, one of the most important things needed for work, does not work! It consistently disconnects. You can hear your roommates having sex all the time. It is super expensive compared to any other residences in the area. The buildings have gotten beaten up. The management can be nasty sometimes. The living rooms are super small. When it gets cold, the hot water doesn't work. The air control is AWFUL in a 3 bedroom; the room furthest away form the fan in the living room gets a totally different temperaure than the rest of the house.

What's nice is the shuttle brings you up to campus. Highly recommend avoiding, do maplewood, city center, or just get a house!

CTT is a great, convenient place to live. But I have been here 3 months now and the internet is STILL not fixed. Constant disconnects and drops for hours on end. Absolutely unacceptable for such a large student housing complex. If they get their shit together it would be a nice place, but in it's current state I strongly DO NOT recommend living here.
