LightView Apartments offers modern, fully-furnished rooms with stunning views and great amenities like a gym. However, students have highlighted issues such as small room sizes, thin walls, and a lack of proper maintenance. Management has been deemed incompetent, with misleading advertisements and poor communication. Additionally, the building shows signs of rushed construction, with paint peeling off, doors not installed correctly, and frequent breakdowns of hot water and other facilities. Despite some positive aspects like fast internet and included utilities, students feel the dorm is overpriced compared to off-campus alternatives. Overall, LightView Apartments presents a mixed experience for residents, with both pros and cons to consider before choosing to live there.

When comparing to all other dorms on campus, even those with kitchens, this goes well above for quality and feel. Views and lighting are great bonuses. You get access to a gym no other student does. Only complaints are prices and laundry room shut downs (though it is standard pricing which is fair w...

It has amazing views and it is a very modern building. However for the price, it is a fairly small apartment

Like others have said, the only good part about LightView is the location and the view if you get high enough of a floor. The building management sucks, the laundry room sucks and only has 10-15 washers / dryers working at a time for the whole building. Even though it’s an apartment, you still have ...

Unless you're in the super large doubles, the bedrooms are tiny. Hardly enough space for a bed and a desk. The paint on the walls in the bedrooms and common area was actually ceiling paint, at least when I lived there, so it chipped off very easily. We were then charged from our security deposit aft...

The locations is good. That’s it. Don’t be fooled by the nice marketing. The rooms are way smaller than they appear and the construction of the whole building was rushed and shoddy. You’re hearing everything through the walls. The worst part is management. They honestly don’t care once you have sign...

You’re paying for location and that’s it. Lightview advertises as this luxury building but for what you’re paying, it’s not. Rooms are tiny, the building was built in 3 months so everything falls apart. By far my worst complaint is the management. Nothing is communicated, and the lease is so mislead...

I honestly really liked living here, so much that I resigned my lease for the 2020-2021 school year. It’s much cheaper than comparable on-campus options and also much cleaner and newer. I haven’t had any problems with thin walls or hot water like I know others did but that just may be luck on my par...

🅱️enis It's pretty great, overpriced compared to off campus but cheaper than on campus. Next time I'll rent an apartment tho.

Overall, Lightview has been great! I have had a few issues with mail delivery, and some of the hot water issues have been frustrating, but the amenities are good and the rooms are what we expected. I wish the walls were painted better since the couches destroy them if they touch the walls. Additiona...
