Comments on condition:
This house is adequate, tempting at its price. It's a bit "far" from campus (5-7 minutes by bike), and definitely one that you should personally inspect before thinking of leasing.

Is the residence well insulated? No
Are there window screens? Yes
Are there storm windows? Yes
Is the residence warm enough? Yes, but it's very expensive to heat
Is it hard to regulate the heat?
(For example, does the thermostat work? Do you have to open windows in the winter?): No

Comments on any of the above (temperature):
Windows suck. The screens are fucked-up, the storm windows are difficult (if not impossible) to open, and the windows need to be propped open with pieces of wood.
