My overall experience with Windsor has been positive. I've appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and the support I've received, especially as a single mom returning to school. The community has been helpful and I've felt encouraged to stay on track toward my educational goals. Windsor has provided a strong foundation as I prepare to transfer and continue my studies in integrative health.

I just recently moved into this apartment complex, and as I am pleased with my actual apartment and the environment of the complex, I don't think I will be re-signing my lease after the 12 months are up. I am looking for something a little more high quality and closer to my job.
