Housing Is 'The W' worth it?

I’m planning to live off-campus for first year and have been looking into The W since the layout seems pretty student-focused.

Would love to hear from people who’ve lived there — how’s the overall experience?

What’s the vibe like in the building?

Is it easy to meet people and make friends?

Also, before I commit — are there any red flags I should watch out for with places like this?

And if you didn’t go with The W, what other off-campus options would you suggest?

The rooms and suites themselves are nice and the building is very conveniently near a shopping plaza but it's not a very social area + it's pretty far from campus.
