Nicest place you'll live in manhattan for the price
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good windows, relatively fast elevators, and security. Management is responsive and friendly. Social community with large common spaces and lots of sunlight
Cons:
Building often overheats, especially if facing east in a highrise. Sound isolation is poor but to be expected. Outdated fixtures in some units

EC: Solid place for Columbia seniors
Former Tenant
Pros:
I felt that the housing was pretty decent quality, definitely an upgrade from student dorms that usually go to underclassmen. The rooms are pretty sizeable and the courtyard just outside the door is pretty nice.
Cons:
Definitely some pest presence - when we first move in, we had roaches every day or so though it decreased greatly once we put out some traps and had been regularly using the shower (we think they came through the drain). The heat is also a bit messy - Columbia tries too hard to not have to turn the heat on and off despite large weather swings. This year, the first or second week of October was quite cold and the heat was not turned on for 3 days or so. Our living room (the top floor of 3, so should have been warmer) was about 58 degrees at one point I believe. The apartment also wasn’t cleaned/maintained too well between residents - our countertop was essentially full detached and moveable from the counter and the apartment was dirty.
Advice to owner:
Listen to students better, it’s usually not hard to figure out what people are struggling with
