this building is infested with roaches and mice, and you'll experience the occasional bats and birds. very disgusting. don't let the model unit fool you. the pool was never heated in the 2 years I've lived here and the cops are at this building at least 3 times a week. not a great environment at all . the building smells and many residents don't make it better by leaving full Trash bags in the halls. the water is always shutoff because of big clogs. and the elevators work when they want to.... I've gotten stuck before . but it makes for great workouts always taking the stairs. it's cheap for a reason but if you don't mind this it's great!

Just know what you're in for.... LOL
It's cheap and close to Kent State! My ground floor unit was warm in the winter, the AC worked well enough to make the living room comfortable but the bedroom remained warm sometimes.
"Never a dull moment here at College Towers"- whether it was meth heads jumping from the 2nd story or domestic violence down the hall... look up the police records, they come here 100-150 times PER MONTH lol. With that said if you keep your head down and don't mind a building that is literally decaying before... your eyes, it's worth it! The constant losing battle with the roaches in the kitchen were a big bummer, and the ceiling in the bathroom dripping/the ceiling chipping away, and the tub that looks like its 30 years old and has been painted (for some reason?!) and chips off were also a bummer.
My neighbor who was on the other side of a boarded up door, I could often hear their conversation word for word, so if you have a neighbor that is loud or likes to call the police for noise complaints= possible bummer too. The building is essentially absolutely disgusting and smells of smoke in the halls. They only offer 12 month leases, they don't allow you to go to month to month after your lease is up.

Terrible, been here for a while reviews are correct
Maintenance has only gotten worse over the years, not maintenance workers don’t show up for emergency calls unless they “feel like it” and it’s burdensome. The only covid precaution we have is an attempt of wearing a mask, office people no masks at all, and sanitizer in the broken elevators. Forget the hallway smell, fire alarm of the entire building goes off monthly and won’t stop because there is no air circulation. Parking lot.. icy to the point it doesn’t even melt if the entire world melts.... They don’t do anything about it. Parking pass.. used to be free and management is getting worse and worse. False emails are sent, water is shut off without notice at times.. apparently emails are hard and printing paper and posting them everywhere is easier? I would hope this building just realizes it’s age and is rebuild. I can’t wait to leave. Also noise complaint is high.. they lie.

DO NOT LIVE HERE.. The model rooms are a lie!
The property is riddled with potholes and falling apart. They refuse to salt during the winter so be prepared to slip and fall. "If they don't salt you cannot sue". You are basically guaranteed to have roaches. People also never pick up after their pets. So if you aren’t dodging potholes, you’re dodging dog turds. The entry doors are never secured, so any random stranger can come on in and roam the halls. The elevators NEVER work and when they do they always seem to have either throw up or dog... poop in them. The other tenants are disgusting and never pick up after themselves.
