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.

The apartment itself is clean and spacious, with a great kitchen, central AC/Heat and a Washer/Dryer in-unit. The location is walking distance to campus, although it's a bit of a hike on the way up the hill. The shuttle service, which departs right outside of my building every 10 mins in the AM, is

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.

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.

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.

The apartments themselves are all new and well run. They have most things that anyone could need. The only real downside is the price which is on the high-side. I'm very happy with the experience overall

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!

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.
