            maintenance is good. They are very fast help me to maintenance the sewer and other things. But the staff work in the office is not so much passion specifically for international students . They are not very patient.

                          The staff are quite rude (specially their manager Jeff). They always look for ways to charge residents without any proofs!

                                Technicians are highly responsible and reliable. They even cleaned the space after finishing their work. Milton repainted my wall and two other technicians fixed the outlet in my kitchen. I always concern about my safety though.

                                                    Q:Ā Hello, I just wanna make things a bit clearer for me concerning the rent fees at graduate hills and gardens. As an international master's student at Maryland University, i have to pay 1,157$ for 1 bed and 1 bathroom apartment every month for a whole year, right?

                                                    A:Ā Yes, rent will be reevaluated annually, so you might see an increase (~30$) after the first year. As others mentioned the price is high since it is close to campus. You might get better deals if you look at places which are bit far from campus.

                                                    A:Ā Yes; you get a graduate student discount and the rent is $1,157 a month (one bedroom apartment), which includes internet and utilities. However, I think you can always break the lease if you give two weeks notice. Also, rent is going up to $1,187 a month next month (July) for a one bedroom apartment. Honestly, I'd look elsewhere before coming here. For the same money you might be able to better place. The only good thing about this place is the close proximity to UMD.

                                                    A:Ā After rent re-evaluation that happens annually, the new rent from July 1, 2018 for 1 bed and 1 bath apartment is $1187 per month, for graduate students at UMD.
