Resident 2011 - 2012

5/13/2012

I have lived at Campus Court complex for 7 months and have mixed feelings about my stay. Moving from overseas I wanted a place that was furnished and close to UK. I moved having not physically viewed an apartment, I had asked for a 3 month lease with furniture thinking that if the place was a total nightmare as other reviews suggested it was only 12 weeks. I was horrified when I went in to sign my lease that the person I had been emailing to organize everything with was no longer working, although my lease was there there was no indication that the apartment was to be furnished. Luckily I had 2 nights booked into a hotel so I had somewhere to stay while they sorted out some furniture. First night in the apartment (72 hours after signing lease) the only furniture was a bed which was so badly put together it moved across the floor when you rolled over. A week after moving in other furniture arrived (dresser, lounge chair, desk and desk chair) all of which smelt SO badly of smoke my eyes watered when I entered the apartment. Six weeks after moving in and more than 20 comments to management later a couch arrived! There were a few things wrong with the apartment when I moved in and they were fixed within the first week, however they also changed out a hot water service that did not seem to be causing any problems to leave me with NO hot water.... The first apartment I lived in at Campus Court was on the ground floor and every time one of the neighbors arrived home the car lights would shine really brightly into the bedroom! The upstairs neighbors had a really noise chair and liked to play fetch with their dog at odd hours of the night! After some discussions with management I moved apartments to the top floor of another building. This apartment came with its own set of problems including a musician directly below who enjoyed hearing his guitar and voice at high volume between 2-4am! During the day I really like listening to him practice as his skills are great however the drunken or stoned musings were less than ideal. My next door neighbor I hardly hear at all! I have had a letter from management informing me that I am late on my rent when I have always paid it on time. I went in to talk to them about it and it seemed their was a glitch in their system. No apology was issued. It seems that the students who are in the office are not informed of much and things do not filter down from management well. I have to say the students in the office are very polite and seem to try their best to help the residents however this place does have many floors which need to be rectified. The last straw occurred when the fire alarm system went off two nights in a row at 2am. We had to wait in the cold for the fire department to come to turn the alarms off, since then I have been counting down the days until I left. Apparently a faulty sensor was the cause, again nothing issued from management. I do not own a car but when I have had loan of one the parking has been ample especially in the rear of the complex. Perhaps not directly out front of the door but not miles away. The gym has some basic equipment however when things break it takes a while for it to be fixed. The layout of the one bedroom home is very functional with ample cupboard space and despite being one of the smaller floor plans I lived here with my partner for 6 weeks without an issue. Overall, if you want somewhere close to campus and you don't mind noise this place is great. The free internet is a great perk however there are some spots which lack good signal. Other residents are friendly, the basketball court is usually in high demand, the beach volleyball court does flood but is still used when the weather is OK. Although I have not used the pool yet (weather has been too cold), it looks amazing!
