Collegetown Terrace

Only issue is parking is almost 1k per year

I love the shuttle service they provide everyday

Mostly grad students, some international students. Watchouts are high parking price of 950 per year, and the fact that the mailroom and garages are not secure. There are security cameras but they don't work.

The daily shuttle to the law school is great

Convenient & cozy

The particular type of unit I rent at CTT is just a bedroom and bathroom (there's one communal kitchen for cooking, and a laundry room but you do have to pay to use the washer/dryer). I think it's worth it for the cheaper rent but your mileage may vary.

The building itself is old but well-maintained, keeps a decent ambient temperature, have not had any issues with management.

My only warning would be the noise level, particularly if you rent a unit on the stretch of the first floor near the office (in the 12-16ish range). On the days the restaurant in back is open you will get noise, particularly after hours as the restaurant staff hangs out there after the restaurant closes. You'll also be right by the elevator and the back entrance to the building and people are not especially quiet coming and going. You're also right by the laundry room and the restaurant's air filtration system. That said depending on your tolerance for noise this may not be an issue. Noise from abutting apartments is relatively low.

The apartment does have a shuttle to and from Wegman's on Sundays which is very convenient if you don't have a car; they also have a regular shuttle up to campus on weekdays.

Rooms are furnished and come with a good-sized minifridge (there's also a larger fridge/freezer in the communal kitchen for resident use).

On the whole I would say a positive experience, but don't expect any bells or whistles.

Responsive management, huge community, well-maintained social spaces and apartments, well-equipped gym, spacious fully-furnished apartments, good location - not the closest to campus or downtown but in the middle so it is an easy walk to both. The shuttle to campus is a big help, especially in winters (which are LONG).

No air conditioning but management office is helpful and the place itself is very accessible to downtown + the university. A bit overpriced but worth it for the first year

The location is unmatched. Short walk from the commons and Collegetown. The gym is nearby and the shuttle provides you with a ride straight to campus. No complaints!

Great location (under 15 min walk to the law school) and good amenities. Gym, on-site covered parking, and a shuttle that goes to school every 10 minutes in the morning. Definitely the priciest in Collegetown but worth it if you value convenience above all else. Buildings/hallways definitely have a college dorm feel, but the units themselves are furnished a step above dorm living.
