    Good experience

    I lived in the Alcove my sophomore year until graduation (3 years), and overall had a great experience. It’s an older building than some of the high rises on campus, and doesn’t have any amenities (pool, etc.) but those didn’t matter to me.

    The price and location of the building is amazing, it’s basically right next to everything (classes, nightlife, and restaurants). The leasing company is smaller, so the staff are way more attentive to the tenets. All of my maintenance requests were
    … completed under 24 hours, which was great.

    The property managers are super nice and friendly, and actually care about the tenets, unlike some of the bigger leasing companies on campus. Overall, if you want an affordable place with a great location, then I’d 100% recommend the alcove.
