Columbia University residential
Pros
Managed by Columbia so a no brainer
Cons
Apartments are really old and poorly maintained Wish they would renovate the students deserve better housing than this
Advice to the owners
Update and renovate!
2 years and miss it
Pros
Clean apartment, and friendly building staff. Very safe and clean building in general. Maintenance were generally fast and reliable (same day).
Cons
My unit had low light, so I couldn’t keep plants. Tap water in the building tastes “earthy/biological” and sometimes it was worse. Shower floor was tiled in a way that water didn’t drain properly resulting in mould that would form not long after only a couple showers.
Advice to the owners
Renovate the bathrooms so that tile floor showers drained properly. Test the tap water, and ensure it is safe for drinking in every apartment.
