Good apartment, the rent is low compared to other spots around state college. Staff is nice and the rules aren't too strict. It is probably the best value apartment in the area.

Very good spot. A little farther down from the main areas downtown. However, super close to campus and can be as quick as a 10 minute walk. The place is pretty clean and maintenance is quite nice.

Meridian on College Ave is very convenient as it is walking distance to the university. Access to CATA is also very flexible. I would recommend this apartment to my friends.
