Longhorn Landing

I would advise anyone thinking about moving into Longhorn Landing to do their research very carefully. I didn't and I wound up paying for it.
I originally went there to sign a short term, 6 month lease for a 4x2. Their method for signing people to these, in my experience, is very shady and misleading. I completed my pre-lease application, and the day after, they called me in to sign the lease. However, on the lease, there was no specific apartment number listed - only a waitlist number - despite the fact that they knew exactly how many apartments were open and available to suit my needs. Two days later I was told I'd be able to move in. When I got there, they had me initial off changes to the lease where they had put my actual room number on the lease. I then went up to my unit to move in and meet my roommates. When I went inside, I talked to one of the guys living there, who proceeded to tell me that one of the roommates I would be living with was a 50 year old man. This shocked me, as everything I had read, including slogans prominently displayed on their website, had advertised the place as student housing. Apparently the only thing 'student' about Longhorn Landing is the fact that you have to be a student to have a guarantor.
I immediately went back to the office to let them know that I wasn't comfortable living with a 50 year old man and I wouldn't be moving in. At first, the staff seemed almost indignant, saying that I didn't know whether he was a student or not, and actually scolding me because I didn't know if he was a nice guy or not. They told me they couldn't move me to another unit, because then they would have to accommodate all such requests (which, if some of the reviews I read here are true, is a lie). I told them again that I wouldn't move in, at which point they offered to move me into another unit, albeit a co-ed one or one with pets, both of which I specified against on my roommate preference sheet. I asked them at that point if there was any way to break the lease, and they said no, but couldn't provide me with any solid reason other than that I had already been 'approved'. I went back twice more to the office, and only on the third time could the provide me any reason why I couldn't break the lease. It took three times talking to the leasing agent, the manager, or both to give me a reason why I couldn't break the lease.
Since I refused to move in, I had to pay a hefty price. I can't attest to what it's like to actually live there, but I just want to let it be known that if you are looking for a student apartment, look elsewhere. Despite their advertising, this place is NOT student housing, and my impression of the management was, on the whole, very negative. SEk1KnECheF1ATXbXtrZ
