Collegetown Terrace

Really pleased with my apartment at CTT! The apartment shuttle alone has been worth it, as it means I don't have to walk far to get a ride to campus. The floor plan is spacious and the room is set up for a graduate student, with a built in desk. Highly recommend for MBA students!

Nice amenities - mailroom, gym, bus to campus, free wi-fi, parking available on site (extra), location right in the middle between downtown and school

The experience is good. They have shuttles to take students to Sage

Collegetown Terrace is within walking distance to campus and just a stone's throw away from collegetown. Collegetown is easily accessible, but it is nice being a bit isolated from the undergrads and the collegetown chaos on the weekends. There is also a shuttle that goes straight to campus only for residents, which is super convenient. The gym is very nice and whenever I have an issue in my apartment, it is resolved right away. The apartment is much larger than anticipated as well. Also, there are a ton of study rooms which is nice.

I think CTT is the best place to live because it's in the middle of everything. You can walk to campus. You can also walk to the Commons. It's literally equidistant from everything so you don't have to take the Tcat ever. Socially it's a bit dead but that's a minor point for me.

Collegetown Terrace (CTT) has the best overall value if you are interested in a nicer apartment complex. It has an okay gym, covered parking ($900/year), free shuttle to campus, and is optimally located equal distances from campus and downtown Ithaca.

It's certainly not perfect, the apartments can be small, and are not brand new - but they're solid. It is more expensive than it should be, but so are all of the student apartment complexes in Ithaca.

If you have a pet you will need to get it certified as a service animal or emotional support animal. It's a great complex for a small dog owner, there's a lovely fenced in area behind the complex great for a dog to run around and play.

It is a great apartment, however I was not in the main CTT buildings. I was in the "Boilerworks" or old "Boiler room". It is a building behind Gola Osteria, 123 S Quarry Street. It is a building that was repurposed as an apartment complex. Hence, it's odd, but it's cheap. You have all the CTT perks at a better price.

My Unit is OK but I think the rent is extremely expensive. I will likely move to a different place for my second year

Good for the shuttle and gym

This was exactly what I was looking for - a studio where I did not have to buy any of the furniture. Further, I also did not want to set up any of the utilities (i.e. internet, gas, electricity, water).
