    April 13, 2023
    My partner and I lived here throughout graduate school & had a great experience! The staff is super responsive if you have any issues within your unit and the building is well-managed and clean! We loved our unit, the view of the lake and felt like everyone in the building was very kind and respectful of noise (which was a huge plus as two graduate students!). Having a gym in the building, the outdoor terrace and being close to the train were other great perks we took advantage of while living ...
    here!

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
