Hard to believe I m the only one pointing this out...

Hard to believe I m the only one pointing this out... Sadly, two of The Academy on Charles leasing office staff members feel the need to write a review of their own workplace. Referring to Enoch K s review of her daughter s experience, she recalls the building administration as being mean, callous and insensitive, specifically mentioning Tiffany. While I can speak to her testimony, I must first bring up that the Tiffany she speaks of is the same Tiffany Anne Quezon who wrote a gleaming review of her experience with the Academy... Ironically, Ms. Quezon actually works in the leasing office here (I picked up packages from her once a week), and I recognize her from her profile photo. I also recognize Chelsea E (a recent reviewer here) as a staff member (although she was at least kind to me). Who can believe all of these five star reviews knowing that at least two of them were written by their own staff members? (Maybe their reviews will be deleted upon reading this but if not, just scroll down).

Dishonesty aside, I did not have a positive experience during my time here as much as I wanted to. As a relet over the summer for the purpose of a 5-days-a-week organic chemistry course, I needed a three day lease extension since my lease ended on the 31st but my course ended on the 3rd. I requested it ahead of time, but the administration stated that these requests needed to be submitted months ahead of time, before I even knew I would be living here. However, I heard nothing about this at the time of signing my lease or moving in. My extension request was denied, and Tiffany and other staff (Desiree) showed little to no sympathy, pushing me to move all of my belongings to a hotel room three days before my final exam, and I even received an email threatening to charge me thousands of dollars. I understand that a lease extension for my specific unit may not be possible, but there was zero effort made in finding me a place to stay in the entire building. Two weeks later, I discovered that there were indeed empty units I could move into; however, Tiffany and Desiree directly denied me of my request to do so over and over. The intentions of those staff members were clear; they were cruel, harsh and unforgiving, giving no consideration to my situation or to possible solutions which could be arranged. Later, Chelsea and her male coworker (not sure of his name) offered to try to find me another place in the building to stay. I am very grateful for their efforts, but am shocked that Tiffany and Desiree would not budge in the slightest to try to help.

For a while, I thought that my situation was the odd one out, that perhaps I did something wrong or that I could ve done more. After reading about others experiences with some of the intolerant and harrowing staff members here, I ve realized that I m not the only one. I realize that this is a modern building with private bathrooms, ideal for many. If nothing goes wrong and you never have any issues which the staff would need to accommodate for, I m sure you would have a fantastic time living here. Whether you want to take that risk? It s up to you.

Just my advice. Life at Hopkins can be plenty challenging as is, and the staff here certainly did not make my summer any easier.
