Williamsburg On the Wabash

I agree with the other users about fantastic location, but the rest of the negativity has not been my experience at all. I think the management is great and the always have fun resident events.

The location is great - right on the river, but does not flood easily (only one building did in the last 2 years, which is saying something in the floods we had), by the road, a 15 minute (uphill) walk to campus... In short, marvellous. Now, what bad management does to it, is rather sad. They have recently tried to paint the balconies, which involved horror stories of workers in your bedroom window and on the balcony at 8am.
