Good:
Provide (very basic) kitchen, living room, and bedroom furniture and a bed
Walking distance to campus
Clean-ish
Newer carpet?
Rarely ever had insect problems
Laundry is cheap and nearby, but the washer will make your clothes smell strange
and the dryer doesn't always dry
(Otherwise there is a laundromat across the street for twice as much)
Decent closet space
Double bathroom sink and the sinks, toilet, and shower are in separate rooms.
Bad:
No air conditioning
Maintence takes forever/unresponsive and is unprofessional about their job
Walls are paper thin-- quite literally
Shower gets to probably 130 degrees--scalding hot-- if someone in the whole building flushes
The water (maybe it's just winona) is VERY hard and makes skin dry
Parking lot is awkward and hard to access from one entrance and hard to find a spot
Small bedrooms, can't even breathe
Wifi usually works but not always so invest in an Ethernet cord.
In my opinion, rent is too high for the quality, even with the location considered.
I rented from fall 2016 through spring 2017.

POSITIVES:
Very close to campus
5 bedrooms (pretty small though)
Provide bed frame, box spring, mattress, dresser and nightstand (but janky wood)
No rodent/insect issues
Fridge provided
Coin laundry (20yrds away) and laundromat 2 min
walk
NEGATIVES:
Management isnt proactive but does get it done eventually (wont shovel snow day within 24hrs, "cant help" with cable set up or broken remotes)
TERRIBLE policy for parking in their lot over break (Must leave YOUR car keys with them in case they need to plow when your'e not on call to move car, and will charge you for that move and for not being available to do so, even though you pay to park there. So basically your'e better off parking on the street Dec-January)
Parking is angled and poorly set up (tight fits, inconvenient access to/from street)
Our heat broke three times this winter (3hrs-2 days for fix)
Cant control heat
Shower changes 30+ degrees in temp when someone in the entire building flushes (20 residents)
VERY thin walls
50 yards from train tracks
I rented from fall 2016 through spring 2017.
