Living at the Meridian has been a great experience. The apartment itself is very spacious, offering plenty of room to relax, entertain, and set up a comfortable living space. The layout feels open and welcoming, which makes it easy to feel at home. One of the biggest highlights is the view—whether in the morning or evening, it’s a wonderful part of the daily experience here. Location is also a huge advantage. Being so close to downtown makes it easy to get to restaurants, shops, and... entertainment, while campus is just a quick trip away, making it especially convenient for students or faculty. The combination of space, comfort, and accessibility really sets the Meridian apart. Overall, it’s a well-rounded place to live for anyone looking for convenience without sacrificing comfort

The apartment overall is nice, the rooms are decently sized, and the living room is big, but the rent is a little expensive considering the location and comparing it to other apartments nearby

It has been pretty good so far, I just wish laundry machines were inside each apartment and therefore would be free to use. I also do not like how electricity is not included in the fixed rate for rent.
