While the size of the building may seem impressive for the Ann Arbor area....more than 20 stories of apartments...University Towers is anything but grand. Though the location is great (right on the corner of South U and Forest), the apartments tend to be small and over priced. If you want nicer furniture you have to pay an extra $50/month to live on one of the highest floors...otherwise you're stuck with living room furniture that looks like it's from a dentist's office. The work out area is full of antiquated equipment...and the pool is ever usable...so just be warned that the list of amenities used to sell the place aren't all they're cracked up to be. The one nice thing about U Towers is that there is a front desk where packages are held and rent can be paid...so that is convenient. It is also comforting that there is a buzzer intercom system and a doorman during the after hours when the front desk is closed. There are also a few study rooms off of the lobby as well as a large screen television.
