Blu on Farrington

My fiancée and I moved from Colorado without even seeing the place before signing. The office is great to work with and the amenities are great for the price! with the building being relatively new, its like nobody has lived in our place before we moved in. The maintenance people are great and fix things quickly.

Great living space, amenities, distance

The Blu is a nice complex with a lot of parking. The pool area is great and there are numerous MBA students. The major downside is there really isn't anything to do in the area, and walking access is extremely limited.

Great building that a lot of MBA students live at. Just a little bit further from campus than the others.

Great complex with a ton of other MBA students.

Blu on Farrington is on a great location right off the highway, between Chapel Hill and Durham. It's a short 5-10 minute drive to KFBS and convenient to many shopping strips. It's popular among MBAs as well, which has been nice during the pandemic. You are still able to get the feeling that you're not alone in the program. Lastly, there are many couples and dog owners in the community.

Blu has spacious apartments with quality finishes. The front office and maintenance workers are quick to respond and frequently hosts contests, food trucks, and resident appreciation days. The pool and outdoor deck are super spacious and a great place to hang out. About 10% of the 2022 class lives at the Blu which makes it easy to make friends.

I've loved living at Blu on Farrington. Their amenities have helped me become friends with many of my neighbors and classmates. As a student, I especially appreciate the study area and having a printer I can access.

I love the MBA community at Blu, but sometimes I wish I were closer to campus/Franklin Street

The building is remarkably nice and is full of MBA students. There are roughly 35 in our class that live there which gives it a strong community feel. There is a nice gym, free coffee, pools, and grills outside. It is a wonderful unit if you are willing to pay a little more and drive the 10 minutes to campus.
