I recommend against boulevard towers in Amherst… unless you like living in a nursing home setting. It is about 90% elderly people and the long hallways make it feel like a nursing home or hotel. And forget about getting your full deposit back. The place is run by stingy old ladies who are known to always take 'damage' money out of the deposit. They are also very inflexible if you want to leave your lease early. The location is not great either. It is only about 10 minutes from school but is in the wrong direction from downtown, the restaurants, bars, and hospitals! You will definitely have to move for third year. Live closer to the city— much more lively and many more things to do!
