College Suites at Washington Square

I had a wonderful time and a very great experience making a cake. Very great community and environment. Management is very friendly and attentive.

Kennedy hosted the most amazing cake decorating event. It was so much fun and informative for those who have never decorated cakes before. I would 100% attend another event that she hosts, regardless of what it might be!

Absolutely horrible place, seen mice running in the halls, there’s dog poop in the stairwells, mold in the heaters/vents. Garbage juice filled in the carpet of the building you can visibly see it. Not only do you see dog poop in the stairwell but everyone’s garbage that’s too lazy to walk to the outside dumpsters that are 5 ft away from the door. Visible drug usage all around the building.. this place is supposed to be key fob only, as secured building but the side door is busted open all of the time and has allowed homeless people/drug addicts to enter freely and sit down in the lobby area for multiple nights. Insanely unprofessional manager. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. Look elsewhere or risk health and safety concerns.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. My time at the suites was horrendous. I felt extremely unsafe during my stay here, especially as a young woman. I'll start with the worst part of my stay: I was assaulted by another tenant and after informing management, THEY TOLD HIM I HAD FILED A REPORT BEFORE POLICE HAD EVEN GOTTEN A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO HIM. They did this knowing they had taken the keys from one of my roommates because she had not paid her rent, and she would leave our FRONT DOOR OPEN making a VERY unsafe situation for me, especially since the person who attacked me was aware she did that. They told me if they had a police report, they could end my lease early but then changed their minds and said they couldn't do anything unless my attacker was arrested. That is a policy they should be extremely clear on and reevaluate, as investigations can take months. I was moved to an apartment on the same floor as my attacker & spent six months trying not to run into him on my way in & out of my apartment. In addition, male maintenance workers entered our all female apartment multiple times without announcing themselves, once while I was alone and in the shower. Management takes advantage of the rental laws regarding 24 hours notice, since we are just renting rooms, they would frequently enter the apartment with no notice to "inspect" empty rooms and common areas, a legal loophole. Even after asking if management could just call me on their way up so I would be prepared, they told me it was an unreasonable request & would show up with no warning. Lastly, management uses intimidation tactics. Unbeknownst to me, a guest of mine had caused damage to a lobby bathroom. Management brought me into the office and began yelling at me for "breaking HIS sink" and told me to "stop lying" when I told him I had no clue what he was talking about. I asked to be shown security footage and the person who had caused damage looked NOTHING like me. I was more than happy to abide by my lease & pay for damages caused by my guest, but Jonathon handled everything wrong by dragging a 20 year old girl into the office to berate and yell at without even examining the security footage. There is more, but these were the most significant events. I knew many people during my stay who had equally bad and unprofessional experiences. My stay here was horrendous and I highly doubt it has gotten ANY better in the couple of years it's been since I moved out, especially because corporate did not care when contacted about these issues. Please, find somewhere else for your student to live. The proximity to SCCC and other schools is NOT worth it.

I honestly had higher expectations when deciding to live here for the summer. This apartment complex is not for the faint-hearted. First off, the quality of the rooms and suite are terrible. The bathrooms and disgusting and rooms are not well kept. Unless you're living with other interns, you better hope that your suitemates are clean and cooperative. Secondly, the area and building security is awful. There are constantly sketchy individuals walking around the building and even coming in through the back doors. Overall, I would not recommend living here because of both quality and safety.
