see moreoften feel left in the dark a little bit.
see morethe living room space is actually pretty sizeable and useful! There are not private rooms however. 1 of the rooms in the 6 man apartments should honestly be a private room, not shared. Other than that, the appliances are up to date, the furniture is good, and the apartments aren't run down!

see morearea offer a lot to do; the location allows for a 10 or 15 minute walk to BYU campus; parking space is ample. I think my biggest complaint with the Colony would the very restricted office hours; along with that, sometimes it can take some time to receive a response to emails (this was especially a concern while applying to live here). Additionally, the Colony does supply internet through ethernet cables, but it does not offer wifi as an option. All in all, I think this is a good deal.

see morekeep the place nice.
see moreyou never feel cramped. Great social area, and fun environment.
see morethat many of the residents are still in classes or at work. The other main thing was cleaning checks.. they have the same people that they hire to clean the apartments after we “fail” come in to clean them (big conflict of interest, if you ask me) & them the cleaning crew comes in & spends about one minute cleaning each thing & it looks exactly how it looked when I cleaned it. Then I get charged for it! Plus, please get a better system for paying rent. The online website is kinda sketchy, and it would be nice to have an app like other apartment complexes where it tells you how much you owe that month. That would be super helpful!
see morefact that these apartments are pretty old. Cracks in the walls, flooding, burst pipes, etc. Like I said, it’s mostly just because the buildings are so old. Also, you can here your upstairs & next-door neighbors having conversations from inside their apartments. The walls are very thin!

see morealways expect to have a convenient parking spot available. Rent is somewhat reasonable and the apartments are comfortable places for young single adults. Overall very satisfied with my experience here
see moreis only open from 3-6, which isn’t very convenient for students that are often on campus during that time. The office seems a little understaffed and could potentially benefit from some additional staff members so there can be more open office hours. It sometimes takes a while for maintenance to come by for repairs after submitting a request.
see morethe laundry room. I think the Colony is one of the only apartments left in provo that require quarters to operate their machines. I think they should prioritize updating the machines with card swipes in addition to the quarter slots. Also there are often some machines not functioning, which is quite annoying given there are already so little machines for everyone to use. The website is also very outdated and could be a lot more useful. You can put rent electronically, but I wish there was some communication regarding how much residents owe for rent, parking permits and other additional fees. It would be nice to have a history of payments so tenants can know that they don’t have any charges from the Colony.
