There was not enough space for me to give a full review. I just hope they don t charge me for damages done before I arrived. I will update later if they do

There was no pre-inspection of the apartment. When I moved in, the lady looked embarrassed to hand me the keys to the room. I live in a 4bed/2bath apartment, but when I moved in the tenants on the opposite side had bloody flossers on the sink right next to my room. The bathroom sink was also clogged, which I had to unclog myself. The bathroom is ridden with mold, from the floors to the corners of the tub, to the walls. The water from the toilet has metals in it that will cause it to turn black if not cleaned regularly. I originally thought that the toilet was left Unflushed and Uncleaned when I moved in.

You are paired with random people, which is probably a normal thing for college housing. Fortunately I started out with a great roommate who was very clean and respectful. The other side of the apartment had very disruptive and dirty tenants. One gentlemen was recalled to Saudi Arabia before his lease was up and left our apartment completely dirty, with his room trashed and leftover trash from a party he threw the night before he left. He also gave his key to his friend to come and go as he pleased, so we had a stranger in our apartment. We told the managers this happened and after an actual debate of why they needed to reset the keys, they did it.

When COVID first hit, it was just myself on one side and a gentlemen from China on the other side of the apartment. The apartment COMBINED another half used apartment with ours to fill it at capacity. Ignoring common sense, they put 4 people in the same small apartment instead of leaving 2 people in 2 apartments. I know there must of been a maintenance or cleaning schedule or maybe it made economical sense, but there was no common sense applied to this decision. While in their own right these were respectful young men, they were not courteous roommates. They were from Spain and apparently they stay up until midnight in Spain to make dinner and talk about their days. The gentleman from China and myself were very upset about how loud they were. The Spaniard using the bathroom I used never cleaned up after himself, even up to when they left. During his stay he shaved some part of his body that left my bathroom covered in hair that I am STILL cleaning up now.

The kitchen area is large enough to maneuver around with other people in it. The oven broke a couple times but after a maintenance request it was fixed. The microwave door was broken but it still worked fine. I have no real complaints about the kitchen other than it was extremely dirty when I moved in but we worked hard to clean the oven and floors on our own dime.

The WiFi is free but it isn t consistent. Luckily there were two options in my apartment that made it convenient to switch when one wasn t working. Recently (June/July) the internet hasn t been working for days at a time (it was off for a week last week) which made Teleworking impossible. I had to put in leave days and have unpaid days for an entire week because they couldn t get the internet to work. I did call and tell them it wasn t working and the student worker couldn t do much more than say they would get someone to fix it eventually. Everyday I wake up for work (July) I worry if the internet is going to be available or if I m going to lose my pay for that day.

You will not trust the fire alarms here. During my stay here the fire alarms go off a dozen times a month. It could be at 3pm or 3am. I do not know why they go off, but there has never actually been a fire.

You will pay $75 for parking but it s at your own risk. My car was broken into not once, but twice in an 8 month timespan. When I asked to see the tape to give to the police, conveniently they could not see what happened to my car. The gate to the parking garage was just fixed and before then anyone could come in. Homeless people were sleeping in the stairwells or sleeping in the common areas next to the front door or community gym.
