Okay if you are an intern
Former Tenant
Pros:
I liked that it has a mail room and study spaces. The frequency of resident events made it easier to meet new people.
Cons:
The bathrooms were disgusting, mold in every room and it took a while for maintenance to come. The cafeteria food is very expensive. I can also equate this place to a very mid hostel.
