From the outside The Lodge looks great and it's true that everyone who has only seen them briefly is very impressed however, living here has made me take a much closer look at things and regret paying sooooo much for so little. This place was cheaply put together! Paint comes off the wall with water, things break easily and the walls are so thin it sounds like giants stomping around above you. The noise is ridiculous and I'm not even one for silence! The maintenece staff takes FOREVER to get things done and then they still aren't done right. I'm still waiting for my bathroom door to be completely fixed from my reguest in FEBRUARY. And DO NOT move here without a car. They say there are bus stops but none of them are as close as they sound. The "community activities" they promise are rare-usually only during finals week. Just don't get caught up in the hype.

When I lived there, my dishwasher ran on cold water and my toilet flushed....wait for it....HOT water! I needed a landline and found out they forgot to run the phone lines to the apartment and it was just a flippin wall jack with no phone line! Put a request in to have it worked on (everything) but all I got was excuses....what a lovely experience. I could go on and on...had no where to park since the help at the leasing office had no idea why there was no place for me to park...and on...and on
