• CTT is quite expensive, the internet cuts out a lot, but it is very convenient.
• Move in was pretty quick and easy. Landlord has been responsive to maintenance requests. Walls are thin which means you
hear your neighbors. Internet goes down once a month for a full day. Fire alarms in some buildings go off once a month as
well. Shuttle to Sage is very convenient.
• There is a shuttle which makes a huge difference for early morning in the winter.
• Very responsive in fixing issues with appliances.
• For me CTT offers a great location between Collegetown/Campus and the Commons and so it is very convenient. Additionally
the shuttle makes getting up to campus in bad weather much easier. Plus the gym is a nice perk. It is on the expensive side
but you do get a lot for the money.
• Thin walls, noisy sometimes, unstable internet sometimes.
• Walls are very thin, to the point where you can smell what your neighbors (including above and below) are cooking and/or
smoking. Also, they allow smoking inside like it's 1994. Finishings are cheap but fine as they are very new relative to most
housing in Ithaca.
• This is the place to go if you are feeling lazy and do not want to look around. It is convenient, nothing more. You can get a
better bang for your buck by living elsewhere. I would highly recommend living somewhere else.
• For me CTT is the worst place to live in Ithaca, people that work for CTT are terrible. The service is horrible, you are obligated
to rent the apartment for 13 months when you need it for less time, they show the apartment to other potential customers
whenever they want, they don't allow you to sublet the apartment if it is needed and the prices are much higher than in other
places. I don't recommend this place at all.
• Management responsiveness is quick for work order items. There are times when internet speed is slow, and it takes a couple
days to get it fixed. The walls are thin, so you are able to hear everything inside and outside of your apartment. Shuttle to
Sage and back is very convenient, and multiple indoor gyms is a plus as well. Heat is included in rent price.
• The maintenance team is very responsive if any problem occurs in the apartment.
• My move-in experience was smooth, and I've always had maintenance requests dealt with the same day, or the following day,
even for less urgent things like changing lightbulbs.
• The landlords do not enforce any of the rules. The security is a joke. Anyone can get into the buildings. Rent is so high and the
walls are paper thin. You can hear tenants below and above you closing cabinets and wardrobes. People sleep in the common
areas and the landlords offer no assistance in maintaining the standard of a graduate living facility. Landlord is not flexible
with move in/out dates.
• CTT is perfect in all respects. They are friendly, have been responsive to any/all issues I've had. The quality of the buildings and
facilities are phenomenal.
• Everything is fine about CTT, it is just way too expensive.
• When my washing machine broke, they replaced it the very next day.
• In short, the management at Collegetown Terrace know that they are the only game in town in regards to a newer complex
within walking distance to Sage. You get a decent apartment and some amenities, but because there is no direct competition,
they know they don't have to treat their customers well.
• Annoying keys (half physical, half tech) that are always messed up/slow. Fire alarm goes off all the time. Expensive.
• Depending on how big a family is, I'm not sure I would recommend CTT, but for couples it is certainly fine.
• Good for couples, not good for families. Pay to park, but it is all covered, NO visitor parking though.
• Fine for couples, not for families.
• Very easy if coming from far away without much furniture.
• Parking fee is a bit expensive and you may have to walk a long distance to get to your car.
• Most of the class seems to live here or in the area, it’s helpful when doing assignments together.
• Great place to live first year if you want a social, convenient experience (but can also be quiet if you prefer).
• Fine for couples, not good for families. It's like a privately owned dorm for graduate (and some undergraduate) students.
• This is not a place for children if you have them.
• The contract that CTT has I don’t know if it is legally allowed. For example, they obligate you to pay for weeks that you are not
there, you are not allowed to sublet the apartment, they don't want to pass the key to a friend if you are not in Ithaca and
they show the apartment to other potential customers on the day they want, not allowing you to have privacy.
• A lot of Johnson people live here, so be expecting to party hop within CTT. Do not recommend for families that have kids. It’s a
