I think this is a great apartment to live in as a first-year law student because it's close to campus, it's in a good location, it's safe, and it's spacious. My only complaint is that I think it's on the fairly expensive side. There is a gym in the building though it's not that luxurious or large.

I live in the Baron Building and I enjoyed my time here! The area is nice, having plenty of food options, and even a local small market. I have no problems with my room currently, and when I do, I can tell management and they will fix it up as soon as possible. It is not far from campus, only being a ten minute walk from GW law school, and less so from the metro. The gym is well-maintained and included in your rent.

I do have two problems, though. Sometimes, the elevators in my building malfunction, a little more so than expected. My roommate got stuck in there at one point. Also, using the internet can be a bit of a bother, since the only ISP we're allowed to get is xfinity. The wifi interrupts itself every now and then, due to how the network can interfere with itself sometimes, so using an ethernet cable certainly helps. While not a major problem, moving in was a hassle, since the only elevators we were able to use are the main ones, which are a bit small. Again, not a problem, but expect a lot of ambulances to pass by, though it's not too annoying.

Very comfortable

I've had 6 cockroaches in a year and a half. You either have air or heat and that is frustrating. We don't have a pool.

Columbia Plaza is great for temporary living while in school at GW. My biggest complaint is the neighborhood, which I would not live in if not attending GW. But it's nice to be close to the National Mall and the metro. The building is well run, and any maintenance issues I've had have been fixed quickly.

This is very convenient and a great apartment for students wanting to stay close to school and save money on transportation. The apartment is very spacious and bright. The building's maintenance team is very helpful and quick to respond, although there have been cases of miscommunication. For about 6 months in the beginning of our lease, there was a problem with roaches in our building but this was eventually resolved with a building-wide extermination. The managers and nice and always on site during business hours. There is a 24h manned front desk, packages arrive safely and on time with only occasional mixups. The gym is small but recently renovated and works great for basic gym needs.

I've had a decent experience living at CP, going on two years now. The rent is appropriate and my studio is much larger than others nearby, and a great value. My experience with management has been kind and usually swift. I don't really have any complaints.

The floor plan is large, it's close to school, great for those attending class every day. The gym in the building is open 24 hours and is small but has everything you need. I live in a renovated apartment with new appliances, countertops, and bathrooms. No central heating so wall unit air conditioning and heaters are hit or miss depending on weather.

Out of all of the places in this price range that I visited in Foggy Bottom, I think this is by far the best.

I've lived in this complex for two years (in two different apartments), and it is really hit or miss. I didn't really have problems with my first apartment (other than the fact that a leasing agent told me the apartment had a feature when I signed the lease, but I found out that was untrue when I moved in).
