Communication is lacking about what certain payments are and when/how utilities are paid. I was also pretty displeased with the cleanliness of the apartment when we moved in, and the fact that most of our appliances were broken. I love living here, and the bus system is very convenient, but for what I am paying, I would expect a little better.

I've had a great time staying at the Connection. The amenities here are great and the floor spaces are perfect for multiple roomates. Also, the bus system is very convenient!

Connections is a very good place to live. Bus is almost usually on time, place is quiet. Amenities are nice and pool is nice. Roommates and neighbors are nice too

I love the green spaces with the cute hammocks and our sports spots. It's clean and lively. The shuttles take time getting used to, but it's also a big bonus. Maintenance is quick and handy. But they need to look at the gym treadmills because they have been out of order for a while.

The amenities like the shuttle is really nice and i’m so thankful. I actually wouldn’t be able to go to class without it. All the staff is so kind. The pool and study rooms are beautiful and I can’t wait to use the gym soon.
