The View is an apartment building just off campus. It’s basically the most expensive place you could possibly live but it is supposed to be pretty nice.

The building is entirely students but is not affiliated with the University. It has a parking garage underneath and I think you get parking with your apartment. They have strict visitor rules, everyone must be signed in. Rooms are priced based on the type and- of course- the view. They just built a second building, The View 2, that pretty must destroyed the view from the original View building.

The View is on Route 1 which is very busy. It can be hard to get in and out of during traffic because there is a slightly awkwardly placed traffic light. It is near a McDonalds, a few other student apartment buildings (University House and Parkland), a liquor store, a shopping center with some other restaurants, and there is bus stop right out front.

Campus is right behind the building and there is a path to access campus. It goes through some woods and is considered a dangerous path but I walked it many times at all hours (as a small, unaccompanied, female) and never had any problems. The path puts you on the edge of North Campus so its probably a 20 minute walk to the center of campus. There is also a University Shuttle that you can take to campus.
