The building facilitates a strong community. A lounge and two kitchenettes on every floor. Rooms are spacious. Jack and Jill style powder rooms (a bathroom with a toilet and sink connects to two rooms, so shared between 4 people). Housekeeping is nice. Second floor has large gathering area and a rec room (it's a few treadmills/stationary bikes and some kettle-bells with a ping pong table). Also a nice grassy outdoor patio on the second floor. The building houses the engineering LLC which is great for any engineer as you would be with people taking similar class to you.

Problems: The ceiling leaks. I'd be willing to bet they'll replace it for fall of 2019, but this year the entire 6th floor was leaking, lots of belongings damaged. The elevators suck and hopefully they're replace them too. Don't let that stop you from choosing forbes though, its positives outweighs those cons.
