I rented at Campus Edge in Raleigh for the summer (sublease). Decent apartment, but horrible maintenance staff. They only work Monday - Friday and only handle emergencies on weekends. Dryer has been malfunctioning for months but they refuse to actually fix it or replace it. I have to monitor the dryer to actually make sure it's drying my clothes. My roommate locked herself out of her room one weekend while I was away and was unable to get into it because they didn't turn on the after hours emergency answering machine (the emergency line is the same as their day phone line). Also, an emergency for being locked out is being unable to get in your apartment and not your individual room. So they wouldn't have come out anyway. She had to pay a locksmith to get into her room. (Either way she would've had to pay someone. Preiss charges $70 to be let back into your room if you lock yourself out)

AC was broken for 2 days in 90 degree weather. They gave us ONE portable unit for a 2 bedroom apartment until they could come fix it the next day. That portable unit kicked out as much AC as a ceiling fan.

I'm looking forward to moving out. I'm completely over living here. From the looks of other reviews, it seems as if Preiss itself is just crappy. So avoid it if you can.
