A FRIEND AND I GOT OUR KEYS TO DRAKE APARTMENTS ON A FRIDAY AND BROKE OUR LEASE ON MONDAY MORNING! WE SAW THE APARTMENT IN THE DAY TIME AND IT LOOKED FINE..JUST A FEW MINOR THINGS THAT WE WANTED THEM TO FIX B4 WE MOVED IN. APT WAS SMALL, BUT WE WERE WANTING TO MOVE SOON. WE WENT TO THE APT FRIDAY NIGHT..TURNED ON THE LIGHT A THERE WERE COCKROACHES EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! ALL OVER THE KITCHEN, BATHROOM AND BEDROOMS. THAT IS UNSANITARY! WE DID NOT MOVE A SINGLE PIECE OF FURNITURE IN THE APT AND DRAKE LET US OUT OF THE LEASE AT NO FAULT ON OUR BEHALF. WE GOT BACK OUR OVERLY PRICED SECURITY DEPOSIT, PRO-RATED RENT AND BOOKED THE HELL OUTTA THERE. I WOULD NOT SUGGEST N E ONE TO MOVE INTO THIS DISGUSTING PLACE. THE PEOPLE IN THE RENTAL OFFICE ARE OVERLY NICE BUT THEY HAVE TO BE IN ORDER 4 N E ONE TO MOVE IN THERE. THE ROACHES CANNOT BE BOMBED OUT THE WHOLE BUILDING NEEDS TO BE TORN DOWN BECAUSE THE ROACHES ARE BEHIND THE WALLS. NO MATTER HOW DESPERATE U ARE... DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS NASTY PLACE! THE APPEARANCE IS NICE DURING THE DAY BUT JUST WAIT TILL U TURN ON THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT...THERE WILL BE CREEPY CRAWLERS ALL OVER. AND ROACHES ARE KNOWN TO DEFECATE WHEREVER THEY GO AND THAT INCLUDES YOUR PERSON SPACE...LIKE THE TOILET WHERE U HAVE TO SIT...FOOD THAT YOU HAVE TO EAT, ON TOOTHBRUSHES IN THE BATHROOM...ITS NOT A JOKE! JUST REMEMBER--WE DIDNT EVEN MOVE INTO THIS APARTMENT AND WE ALREADY HAD TO BREAK THE LEASE. --ZEE*

Roaches were very bad when I lived there. You cannot stop them when they get populated like that. And all neighbors will have them as well. Drake students enjoy.
