Great! Perfect location between law school and center city. Building is new and apartments are spacious. Amazing rooftop views.

Good not perfect
The Left Bank is nice. You get a lot more space for your dollar. The management tends to be nice enough, and they don't care when law students have big get-togethers on the roof. It's pretty tough to get things fixed at times though (especially after your first week when they seem a lot more responsive). Some things fall into disrepair from time to time (like the communal garbage chutes) and it takes them an annoyingly long time to fix it. The apartments also don't have enough lights installed in the ceilings.
Also: My roommate and I had to BEG them to live here. They were impossible to get ahold of when we were trying to pay for an apartment even though we were like "take our money!" I know a few students who wanted to live here but ended up not because they couldn't even get a reply back from management.

Spacious and close but some problems
It has a really great rooftop which is nice for hosting parties. There is a soft close of the rooftop at around 11pm. It is also super close to Penn's campus and an easy walk to Rittenhouse. The building had some pest issues at first, but it was fixed quickly.

Beautiful apartment, lots of space, great amenities, great location, very expensive
This apartment is wonderful and great for pet owners, but the price is quite high.

The apartment is very spacious which is great and convenient relative to the school. Its not in the most fun area of the city however. Management can also be a little hard to pin down.

Nice common spaces, updated appliances, quiet building
The apartment is a nice updated space with tall ceilings and updated appliances. The building is quiet with nice common areas and convenient package pickup.

Everything you need and super convenient!
I rented a studio here when I was an intern, and I was so happy with it that I moved to a 1 BR when my partner matched in Philly the following year. It has everything I wanted in a home - quiet (we have found some undergrads here, but our neighbors are mostly graduate students and medical professionals), clean (I lived in 2 other apartments in Philly and it's not uncommon to have the occasional pest, but we have only seen 2 roaches and 0 mice in 3 years - and both times we saw the roaches, the property manager had an exterminator in there the next day), and close to the hospital (it's about 10-15 min walk to CHOP/HUP; I think it's the closet apartment building to the hospital other than undergrad housing). It also has perks that have made my quality of life better - we have huge windows with a lot of natural light, a 24 hr gym in the building with a lot of equipment, easy access to the subway/train station, and plenty of street parking on nights/weekends for family/friends to easily visit. We have a ton of space with plenty of room for storage, and a roof deck that has been a life saver during the pandemic for social distanced plans (with the added benefit of a beautiful view of the city).

lots of amenities but expensive
really pretty place, upkept, lots of study space, gym, in unit washer/dryer, rooftop, package service. just expensive and a lot of hidden fees (have to pay for package service, rent increases, wifi and utilities not included). awesome to be able to put in service requests if having any issues with the apt. close to 30th street station and PSOM and rittenhouse. sense of community is lacking and walls can be thin depending on who your neighbor is

Solid Overall
Less than 10 minute walk to the law school. Rooms are large, with high ceilings. Plenty of storage. Gym isn't state of the art but will definitely get the job done

University City Reviews
- Close to campus (~20 min walk, ~8 min trolley ride)
- Generally safe because University City in general has been highly gentrified.
- Charming and diverse community
- CLARK PARK! (and the Farmers' Market!!!)
Cons:
- No nearby grocery stores (except Fresh Grocer which is gross)
- Can be sketchy after dark
