"I have three years at Studio Green under my belt, and I will probably be here for all my years of college.  Personally, I think it's the closest and the best value anywhere in Tallahassee.  On top of that, the staff is ridiculously friendly; they actually know you by your first name!  My apartment is adorable, and I have plenty of grass all over the property where I can let my dog  run, and that makes him very happy, thus making me very happy," said resident Victoria Koniszewski.
