I am the first to live in a brand new property they built called Nicholson Gateway at LSU. Nothing works and it is dangerous due to the traffic. They didn t create enough crosswalks to get to campus so people are attempting to cross dangerously now. The road next to it is incredibly busy and people have to turn really fast off of it, which is normal, but the pedestrian crossing is put so close to the entrance from the main road that if someone was crossing youd have to slam on the brakes immediately after turning off of that busy road. There is no room for error there. The fire alarm and door alarm systems do not work properly and go off constantly for no reason. Week one the doors did not shut on their own and they had to fix that. Every morning there is some kind of electronic box in the lobby that is beeping very loudly. There is nobody monitoring my building so when the door alarm is going off for no reason it is up to the students to call someone to fix it, who to call, we have no idea. The stove burners were broken when installed, they DID NOT BUILD A PANTRY IN ANY KITCHEN, the thermostat is insanely confusing, the dryer came fully broken and unusable, the dishwasher is too small, there are no door hooks, there is no storage space in the bedroom besides dresser and closet, there is no bathtub and the shower doesn t have enough shelf space to fit much of anything, there is no sprayer for the sink, my entry code to my room stopped working completely randomly after a week of living there.

When you have these problems there is nobody to call about it. It baffles me that they would not require the appliances to be tested after installing them. They did this in a huge rush, I know this because the stores that were advertised to be in the development are not even built yet. When I got there a week before move in they were still building the sidewalks. A mess
