It's a dorm!

No way will you like living here! I hated everyday of it!

Walls are paper thin, you can hear everything...EVERYTHING! People above you, next to you, even accross your unit. TV, telephone conversations, music(thank's to my neighbor, I can't listen to Dido ever again). I didn't get enough sleep, from the noise and the alrms going off, sometimes 3 times in 1 week! People smoke in the hallways and leave the cig butts on the carpet floor. I had to call front desk about the noise every week. Police would always be present on the weekends and spring break to quiet some units down. It felt like I moved into the worst dormitory. The leasing office is not helpful and sometimes even rude (especially the weekend woman). Parking, HA! That was a nightmare in itself! My car got bumped and scratched 3 times in the 1 1/2 years I lived there. Drunk students, or just rude tenants who don't care about other peoples property. At around 7pm when the off street parking is full, you'll see people get ugly over a space. When I could finally afford to move out...a heavy weight was lifted off me! Honest, that's what it felt like.

To be fair, I have to tell you about the plus side. The convenience store is great, and nice people there too. It's a good size, you can get wine, frozen food, chips, ice cream, house hold cleaning stuff, movies, dry cleaning. Bus stops in front. Not enough for you to move here.

Don't do it! You'll regret it!
