Collegetown Terrace

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!

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

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

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.

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.
