I have had the experince of living in numerous apartments throughout my college days, and living here was the single worst decision I have ever made.

Let's see, shall we start with the bugs' We lived on the 3rd floor so we shared our home with a very impressive colony of silverfish. We found them in our kitchen, bathroom, and best of all, our bed. By the time we moved, i never went into a room without a can of Raid. There were so many silverfish, that the dozens of spiders couldn't even make a dent in the population.

How about the maintenance' Well, I'd love to say nice things about them, but we never saw one. The only contact we had was when when the apartment manager called the humane society to tell them that we were keeping a dog in our car in the parking lot. If that seems too stupid for someone to do, it is. The only explanation I can come up with for that is maybe she didn't take her psychotropics that day. Perhaps if she was more concerned with all the stuff that didn't work inside our apartment instead of phantom puppies, people wouldn't be fleeing like lemings.

Two weeks after we signed a new lease where we were assured that we would be able to hook up to Cox high speed internet very soon, we received a letter stating that every resident would be required to have Qwest cable. This meant that we would be trading in our cool sports package with Cox for free Playboy channel on Qwest. When we confronted them about the brazen lie to get us to resign our lease, we were told that "you have to understand that if everybody here has the same company, it's much easier for us." We decided it would be much easier for us to break our lease and get get the hell out of that hole.

Depite a 30 day notice in writing and quoting the specific section of the lease that allowed us to break it, they attempted to sue us. They had an attourney, we didn't and the case was dismissed at their expense.

Final statistics: number of times notes attached to our door because they figured our rent incorrectly: 11, number of times slipped on the crappy asphalt: 3 (once while pregnant), number of times car trapped by snow "removal": 4, number of cans Raid used: 6 (the big ones), number of car stereos lost to theft: 3, positive interactions with staff: 1 - the gardener.

If you enjoy bugs, contsant theft and intimidation when you leave your home, beer bottles littering the "playground", broken appliances, lead paint and rude, psychotic staff move right in!! Believe me, they have vacanies!
