What People are saying about Unit 1


Double Room, Unit 1

"Where else can you print, bind, fax, get homework tutoring, free tutorials, learn Photoshop and laminate at midnight, in your pajamas? The units! =)"

"Unit 1 offers a variety of living styles and brand new courtyard facilities. It's right next to Strada Cafe, BAM, and Crossroads Dining Commons!" Sarah


Unit OneDerful is conveniently located three blocks away from the steps from the Central Gateways to campus! Unit 1 communities are alive with energy and activity. Apart from the awesome views, the best part of living in these high rise communities is by far the food. Just moments away from a plethora of ethnic, casual or fine cuisine, hungry palates can satisfy their cravings with restaurants ranging from hotdog stands to down home diners, from bustling outdoor cafés to cozy upscale venues.
