Quite nice, only caveat would be the units having older appliances than what we got advertised; the oven cannot be used without mits as the handle itself is metal, it's also lacking a window. The dishwasher is quite dated and rarely used.

roommates are cool, place is as expected for relatively cheap furnished place close to school. The laundry room machines are often down and isn't well maintained.

The location is convenient and close to campus, which is definitely a plus. However, the apartments themselves feel older than advertised, and there have been issues like mold that are concerning.
One of the biggest frustrations has been the WiFi situation—I never received the main WiFi password and have had to rely on the guest network for months, which is unreliable and inconvenient, especially for schoolwork.
