Collegetown Terrace

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.

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.

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.

My apartment is good but neightbor do a lot of partys in the social living room. So sometimes it gets ditry

At face value, the monthly rent is quite steep relative to other options, but when factoring in additional amenities such as shuttle service, gym, study rooms, safety, and location, CTT actually has great value. However, there are few downsides to consider such as slightly thin walls, internet has had issues, and mail can get lost or delayed. In that respect, management is willing to work to resolve the issues as best as they can, making the upside outweigh the downsides.

Good Facilities

It is new, but not the newest, apartment complex, and it feels like a nicer college dorm. So the apartment comes furnished, each room gets its own bathroom, desks are big, and closets are walk-in types. I think it is a nice setup and I like how you can get a sense of privacy in a 3-bedroom apartment. Also, there are study areas, conference rooms, and gyms that you can use. There is also a free shuttle for residents, which is a great addition to the services provided. However, there are some downsides. The Internet has been a huge issue recently and there are some power outages from time to time. The rooms within a unit also has an airvent that goes through the top, so the sound flows through the vent, which can be disruptive to light sleepers.

Overall, I like living in this apartment, but it would have been better without some of the issues.

Overall, building is fine. In unit laundry is a perk. Building is new and comes furnished. Persistent problems with wifi. Thin walls in odd areas. Comes with a shuttle to campus, which is also a perk. If you are looking to maximize the value of your dollar spend, there might be more optimal housing elsewhere. But if you just want convenience in a new-ish building, this is as good a place as any. Bonus, many grad school students live here as well. Chances are, you'll run into them often.

If it wasn't for close distance to the school, shuttle service in the morning, and the group of friends who were also living there, I definitely would not choose CTT. The management team is horrible. They often treat the residents poorly and doesn't address problems appropriately. Some of them have really negative attitude. Also, if you are not comfortable with the thin walls, this is not the place for you.

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!
