Current resident at the house, I've been here for about two months. There are some good things about living here, and there are some bad things.

The good:
- The concierge staff is extremely nice (most of them)
- The building is pretty modern looking
- Extremely close proximity to campus

The bad:
So this is where my experience gets a bit more subjective. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment at the moment. When we were first moving in, we all sign an agreement, essentially listing "house rules". One of these rules is: No outside furniture can be brought into apartments. Totally fair, especially since the apartments are advertised as fully-furnished. HOWEVER, the three bedroom apartments did NOT come fully furnished. None of the people living in three bedroom apartments were provided a desk, due to "space restrictions." The interesting thing is, there is definitely space for a normal sized-desk in every room, once things are moved around in a space-efficient way. The House claims to be making progress towards getting desks for the 3 bedroom residents, but the estimate on getting desks has been changing constantly.

Some people don't have a need for desks, which is totally fine. And maybe this problem is fixed by the time the next batch of students moves in. But for right now, they aren't providing desks to us in a timely manner, and they are also not allowing us to bring in our own desks (due to the apartments being "fully furnished", although they very clearly aren't).

This isn't meant to blame any one person, because I truly don't know what's going on behind the scenes. This shows me a complete lack of preparation, however. Many students live in this house, and a desk is essential for almost all students.

Just some food for thought. Overall, still enjoying my stay here. There are just some rules that don't make sense, and I'm one of the unfortunate students who has to deal with them.
