Overlook at Notre Dame

The good:
Overlook is about a 15 minute walk from Mendoza College of Business. There is a bar that also serves food in the vicinity. Open 5 days out of the week.
Internet speed is about 900Mbps (wired connection). There is a ethernet port with 4 available spots. No need to buy your own equipment.
Can almost always find parking.
With the provided TV you can watch the Notre Dame Football games from your room.

The bad:
Walls are thin, and you'll hear the person that lives above you and the people next to you.
Finding your mail in the mailroom will take as long as one class period.
It is worth having a car to get to stores.

The Ugly:
Maintenance is slow to respond.
The furniture that is provided is not the best. The couch and bed are not worth keeping.
Fire alarms have gone off about once a month.

It's proximity to campus makes getting to class a breeze!

Overall good place to live

Many maintenance issues including months without cable or air conditioning.

Generally the overlook is fine. The apartment is fine and the furniture is good. But I’ve had issues with the management. I’ve just felt like my issues aren’t taken as seriously as they should be for the rent I’m paying. Also there have been robberies and car thefts in our parking lots and we haven’t received one email about that happening. I only heard about it from other people.

Very nice, clean, big, feels like home

My favorite part of living at Overlook was the ability to connect with my MBA classmates. Because Overlook is all graduate students, it is easy to meet people. It's a bit pricey, but you pay for the location. I've had everything I needed and overall happy with it. Maintenance is usually quick with requests. Doesn't have a lot of high-end amenities but there is a small gym and in-unit laundry.

Communicating with Overlook was easy and quick. They were able to answer all my questions and I was able to complete my transaction over email. This was a huge plus for me as an international student. Getting here and finding out it’s so close to campus was the cherry on my already yummy pie!

The room is spacious and comfortable. it comes with a washer, dryer, and furniture. I have a good time living here and just renew a lease for next year.
