University Terrace Apartment

My biggest problem with this apartment complex is the staff that is the face of UT. Some of the people in the office are nice, except for the property manager, Pam. I have seen her and have been treated not in a nice manner what so ever. She was also located at lions crossing, which is another apartment complex in state college and I heard she was not the nicest lady there either. Other than her, most of the staff is very nice and kind to everyone they come in contact with.
Another con about this apartment complex is how old everything is. I have been told that the windows are from the 60’s and do get very cold in the winter. Another problem is the do not have laundry in the building that I’m living in. For as much as I pay (600), they should definitely have some sort of laundry room in every building. Another problem is the buses, during the summer they do not provide a bus service which can be very stressful to get to and from work.
Pros of this place is how big this the apartments are and how the maintenance is awesome and very diligent with their work. They’re always on time and super respectful with your stuff.
If I were suggest to anyone to live here, I would tell them to look somewhere else.

I would not recommend living here for these reasons:
–It’s expensive. At $ 800, you can find better.
–Really, really loud. If you’re a serious student, who needs to maintain a good gpa and need that extra rest when you come back home from a long day of school and internship, then this place is completely awful. People party until 4 am and the police have to come to shut them up — but of course, they don’t listen. Not only was the noise a problem, but my neighbors were racist bigots. I’m not going to bother going into detail about this, but it reflects the uneducated and limited views of the white folks in central PA.
–It’s undeniably dirty. Carpets are disgusting. Molds on windowsill and the corners of every room. There’s also a really bad, bad stench in the kitchen. It’s like people partied here and let beer rot all over the place.
–Bug infestation. This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve experience here. There’s always stinkbugs in this place… like everywhere. If you choose to live here, do yourself a favor and complain to the landlord to get this place cleaned!
–Parking is horrible. You pay nearly $ 500 for a semester… and if the spot runs out, you have to walk three blocks just to get to your car.
Here’s some nice things about UT:
–Location is decent because it is walking distance from walking distance and bus stops. You are also given a bus pass, which the stop is situated close by.
–Size is decent.
–Landlords are friendly and approachable. If you need something, just let them know and they will likely help you soon.
Overall, I don’t recommend this place at all. I’m moving to a nicer place on Atherton for $ 500. It’s a two bedroom and the place is incredibly quiant and relaxed. It’s a bit further from campus, but it’s totally worth it. This place is just unpleasant, unless you like to sleep in a cave where people partied and left everything as it is.

I’ve lived at University Terrace for a year and a half, as a junior and senior.
The pros:
It is in walking distance of campus, and the white loop, without actually being downtown. That means the apartments are a lot nicer, and larger, for the same money.
Things get repaired relatively quickly.
You get a bus pass with rental.
The cons:
The maintenance staff comes in to fix things and never leaves a note that they were here.
Sometimes, it’s noisy.
The carpets are dirty.
