A great place to live... except...

This would be a great place to live if you don't mind the constant parties, drunken brawls, lack of sleep, complete disrespect of the staff, no privacy, lack of storage space, mold and mildew growing in the air conditioning, broken glass on the sidewalks, people doing doughnuts on the courtyard, random people on your balcony, 3AM volleyball games (w/ "musical" accompaniment), being shuffled from apartment to apartment at the whim of the company, maintenance walking in at their leisure (whether you happen to be naked or not), work orders you *do* file being ignored- work orders you *don't* file showing up on your bill, having your current rent payment inexplicably credited towards next month's rent and getting a notice of non-payment for the current month, lack of cell phone signal, the resident family of skunks, people burning the trees (and their furniture and their clothes and ticket booths...) in the courtyard, getting to deal with whatever odd rewiring previous tenants have done with the phone system, being threatened with fines for having stuff on your front porch, sleeping on stained mattresses, trying not to laugh at discovering they've spackled and painted over velcro that someone had stuck to the wall, odd colored spots on the carpets (perhaps it's better not to know), the mildew that lives behind the panels of the shower (clean it as much as you want, there's always more), not being given copies of paperwork, receipts, contracts, etc. unless you specifically ask for them (several times), all complaints being met with "Oh, I'm not the one assigned to that. She's not in today, come back tomorrow." (Guess what' She's probably not in tomorrow, either. If she is, she'll have just stepped out when you get there.), being blamed for clerical errors, being told contradictory things by different employees (or sometimes by the same one), discovering that the best place to dispose of beer bottles is under the tires of the cars in the parking lot (crunch), synchronized frat-boyish "WHOOO!!!!"-ing at 5AM for no apparent reason, people peeing off the balconies (oh, were you smoking that cigarette'), people emptying 50 gallons of melted keg ice over the balcony (and splashing right into your window), bottle-rocket wars, only one dumpster for the whole complex (which about 5 people know how to use), no spray nozzle on the sink, low water pressure, missing pieces of the 'fridge, missing pieces of the pipes under the kitchen sink (better yet, not discovering this for a while), little tiny washing machines, dryers that take an hour minimum, New Math (4 people 2 bathrooms 1 water heater = hot water' ha, not likely), the amazing self-disassembling furniture, not knowing what it was that made the couch smell like that, finding property of previous tenants (this is sometimes useful, I mean, what would I have done if I hadn't found that gallon container of antifreeze, some odd bunch of wooden dowels, and a big foam ball... I could've done without the underwear, though), being charged a disposal fee for items from previous tenants, choosing one a) cleaning the encrusted piss of the previous tenants off the toilet seat b) replacing the toilet seat, towel racks that come right off the wall, toilet paper holders that come right off the wall, shower curtain rods that come right off the wall, hard water, having "I don't mind co-ed living." mean "I want to date my roommates." (even better when they can't even get your sexual orientation right before playing matchmaker), drafts, poor lighting, having the cops shining their big flashy light at you because you're on your front porch (even though the underage kegger was at a totally different building), discovering that maintenance forgot the master keys in your friend's apartment (and wondering how often they do this sort of thing, wondering who all has keys to your apartment, etc), having to move from one apartment to another within one office day (did I mention I have classes'), and random drunk people trying to come into your apartment because So-and-So said there was a party... but other than that it's a great place to live.
