Last time I checked, about a month ago, those buildings didn't look anywhere close to being done. Are they built now?

The structures are up, but they have a long ways to go. Lotta work to be done in the next month.

I find the location of this place interesting...

It basically towers over the Ames Christian school approximately 15 feet away.

It is also built on a flood plain, so that will make for fun times down the road.

The walk to the stadium should be short.

when i was a freshman, it was 5 of us guys in a 2 bed apartment with 1 bathroom.

I can't remember one problem at all. Seriously, guys don't need much time in the bathroom, and if one guy makes a mess just confront him. The rest of your roomies will back you up.

And, I also really liked living with a bunch of people. Our room always seemed to have 10 people in it. Even at midnight on a tuesday or whatever. At the time i didn't always like it, but it is 100x better living with noise than living by yourself all the time. Trust me!!

At one time back in the late 90's, we had 9 guys living in a 5 bedroom house with one bathroom. Got a little hectic in the mornings, but we didn't have many problems and rent was dirt cheap.

way too far from the bars... you can find a decent house on campus and pay 300 a month. plus throw awesome parties, tailgate in your front lawn, and be in walking distance to classes/stadium/rec

Yea, they weren't exactly done with it, you'll be moving in Monday night. Too many City codes to get through.
