Roaches and Falling Apart
11/13/25
Units are filled with roaches, even if you regularly bleach and clean. I’ve even seen them in the hallways. Additionally I have wooden posts that are rotting and paint in my kitchen that is peeling off the walls. Lastly, management will harass you nonstop to renew under the threat of raising your rent. Even if you’ve been living there for under a month. Predatory and gross.

Love the Staff and Living Space :)
6/28/24
I am currently a resident at College Manor Studios, and I can confidently say it's a fantastic place to live for several reasons. Firstly, the location is unbeatable. Having previously lived in the dorms where my walk to class was 25 minutes, I now enjoy a quick 10-minute walk, which has been a game-changer for me.
Secondly, the staff here is exceptional. They are incredibly welcoming, always ready to assist with any issues, and genuinely prioritize our needs. Their friendliness and personal... touch make a big difference in creating a comfortable living environment.
Thirdly, the cost-efficiency here is remarkable. Compared to other places near campus in Gainesville, College Manor offers great value for money. All amenities are included in the rent, and the resident portal makes rent payments hassle-free with autopay options.
Fourthly, maintenance requests are handled promptly and efficiently, which is crucial for peace of mind.
Personally, one of the highlights for me is living just steps away from one of my best friends in the nearby apartment building. It's incredibly convenient to hang out, walk her dogs, or simply enjoy each other's company.
Lastly, having my own space at College Manor is a joy. I can decorate it to my taste and don't have to worry about moving out at the end of each semester.
Overall, I absolutely love living at College Manor and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to live independently while studying at UF. It's been a wonderful experience transitioning into adult life in such a supportive and convenient environment!

Great Location!

Super close to UF and restaurants and bars on university. Office and maintenance are great. ANything goes wrong and they fix it within a day. Never hasd any issues. The area on home football weekends can be a little rowdy.

Old but Gold
6/4/24
There's no hiding that the place is old. But the upkeep and the staff friendliness is far above the norm for any apartment I have ever lived in. Going into the office they consistently make you feel at home and are always willing to go the extra mile.
