University Towers

University Towers is the perfect embodiment of independent good living and student convenience. Literally across the street from campus, students are able to take advantage of every precious minute of sleep before running to class. If you’ve had a tough day, Welch Ave is only two blocks away with plenty of bars and places to eat. Super close to get to, yet just far enough to not hear the music on crazy weekends. Most of the Frat houses and Sorority Circle are nearby. Cyride stops are just around the corner from the front door. This is by far the best location in Ames an Iowa State student could ask for.
The apartments are spacious and, although slightly dated, very well taken care of. The service from the building managers, Alyssa and Sam, is impeccable. Alyssa puts a lot of effort in making living at University Towers homey, from her Christmas parties, to the bowl of candies she occasionally puts out for residents, and her always cheerful smile and attitude. If there’s ever anything that needs fixing, count on Sam to be there for you.
The permanent residents here are like family, and they generously provide home cooked meals every month in the hospitality room. They are also wonderful to talk to, and will enchant you with their life stories over coffee three times a week or a game of bridge.
There is both outdoor and indoor parking, as well as a workout room, and a swimming pool. Rent is extremely reasonable especially considering the location, and most apartments have their own private balconies.
I absolutely love my apartment!
