Jefferson West now. Still pretty bad

It's a place that looks really nice when you come by and do a tour. And the rooms are in fact pretty nice, with washer and dryers, a 42" plasma, etc. Management isn't really so terrible, as pretty much everyone in the office has been replaced. However, living here is like living in a frat or sorority house. There are parties every single night, even during finals. The walls and ceilings are thin, I've had to deal with the people upstairs sounding like a herd of elephants. Especially once they got Rock Band. I also live on the same level as the pool and have to hear everyone's pool parties right outside my window when I am trying to sleep. Try to talk to your neighbors and you're more likely to get an eye roll for daring to speak to someone who's mommy bought them a brand new Porsche or BMW for college. Maintenance loves to come do random inspections without any prior notice. That being said, maintenance is prompt to respond to calls. Right now they are redoing the tile out by the pool even though its perfectly fine. I guess they need an excuse to raise the rent even higher. Also, their roommate matching scheme sucks. They don't ask you any questions at all about the type of people you'd like to live with. They just match you with random people, and I got to share a bedroom with a complete jerk all year. Honestly, though, I think this place wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't located in West Campus and thus overly inflated in price. 470 to share a bedroom in a 3 bedroom apartment is pretty ridiculous. Now it's going up to $545.
Also, don't expect to ever have friends who aren't in walking distance come visit you as there is ZERO guest parking. A parking spot in the garage is $900 a year. More of a west campus problem however. Same with 90% of the apartment complex being spoiled rich girls.
