I lived in 909 S First (studio) for one year. It was more spacious of a studio compared to the other ones I toured. Kitchen was kinda separate from the living room/bed so i dont smell food when I go to bed. The rent is reasonable as a studio with great location on first st. But in summer the utility bill was high for me when I always had the ac on otherwise I die sweating. Btw the ac is new and really effective. heaters are too effective sometimes I feel like sitting right next to fireplace haha.

The unit I lived in was close to first st so can be noisy Thurs to Sat but no big deal. It can be noisy everywhere living on campus. Packages delivered to the office so as a heavy online shopping manic I basically go to office everyday. Everyone in the office was nice to me. Dustin, Kurt literally everyone. I always feel grateful for them taking care of packages and other stuff. Really friendly and approachable staff to international student like me. Pool in the summer and two puppies welcoming you in the office are bonus points.

Maintenance team were very responsive too. Most of them time I submitted the service request at night and they would come knock on the door in the morning. The room was a lil bit damp sometimes so I saw bugs (not cockroaches not bed bugs). So keep the door and windows closed most of the times.

Move out process was smooth no hassle. They listened and then gave feedbacks on how to do the stuff. but I would not recommend hiring professional cleaning cuz the carpet cleaning fees are gonna be charged anyways. Do yourself a favor just try to clean up everything. I got my security deposit faster than I thought.

Overall fantastic experience living in a spacious studio by myself :))
