I like that my home is not a concern while a busy b-school student. It was important to me to have a responsive management company, an in-unit washer/dryer, a dishwasher, and my cat and to live alone but near a lot of other b-school students. I wish it were even closer to Ross, but I'm grateful for the 12-15 min walk to/from because sometimes it's the only exercise I have time for! Something I didn't realize I'd appreciate as much as I do is the free coffee in the lobby; it's a gamechanger when you have 8am classes. Obviously, 618 S Main is more expensive than splitting a house on Hill St, but I feel like I'm paying to get so much time back for classes/recruiting.

I chose this apartment primarily for its location. It is a 10-minute walk from the law quad. The management has been very responsive to concerns, and the apartment and building are generally great!

It is pricier on rent, but it's worth it to live in such a nice place. The location is great for the law school (15 minute walk) and you're right down Main St. from all of the restaurants and such. There is a gym, business center, fire pit area, and a pool as well as a community room with a free coffee machine. Newer building so all of the design and appliances are very modern. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

618 may be pricey, but it has been worth every penny, especially since we've had to be inside more during COVID. The Management is great, the amenities are unparalleled, and it's a building for grownups rather than a dorm (cough cough, Yard).

Best place to live if you want a quiet, amenity building

Very nice building with only graduate students and working professionals

Last year we lived in Foundry, which was more expensive for less space. That place was poorly run and filled with undergrads. We moved to 618 S Main since some friends lived in the building. It's predominantly grad students, professionally run, and not at all stressful to live in. And it has the best dogs in town. Plus, we have a view of the Big House.

Very safe building, full of MBAs. It is also close to the Yard and Hill Street, where many other MBAs live. Only issue with the building is the cell reception is not great.

While the rent is insanely high, especially for this small town (for those of us who come from big coastal cities), it's honestly one of the best options. They have a clubhouse, complementary coffee machine that makes all kinds of flavored lattes, complementary donuts every Friday, a gym, underground garage, 3 outdoor firepits with big cushioned seating, a decently sized pool/spa combo with lounge chairs outdoors in the warmer months, a conference, a printer/scanner with 10 free b&w prints per month, and a lending library with books for leisure reading. I live in a 600+ sq ft studio which is really large. I will say the windows aren't the most insulated as many resident units are still chilly even with the heater on.

618 has good amenities (gym, pool, fire pits, etc.) and is easily walkable to campus and downtown. The building is quiet with its concrete walls and has plenty of natural light. Only downside is the high cost.
