misery loves company, i suppose. and unfortunately, my friend and i have had the same experiences here. why i decided to move here is beyond me. i guess i was blinded by the...i don't know. temporary insanity. i'll address the pertinent rating criteria.
Noise: See now, this really has to be broken down into construction of the property, and the residents. first, the former. the walls are thin. if you blow on them, you'll see ripples. this means that at any given point in the day, i can hear music coming from somewhere other than my room. be it my roomate's room, the people upstairs, the people next door, the people across the hall. if someone's playing music at 3am on a monday morning, i will hear it. As a matter of fact, it will often times wake me up. unless it's muffled by the cattle herd above me. yeah, gotta love the fact that i can hear the upstairs people walk from their bed to their bathroom to piss every morning. then the kitchen, living room, etc. now the latter. i don't understand what it is about Sterling, but people like to party here. a lot. and a lot of times, i get visitors to my window. not sure what they're doing, but i can hear them yell while pissing on the side of the building. i've been tempted to go out and beat the ---- out of them, but then reality sets in. on top of that, youve got the cool thugs who like to shoot hoops while bassin out. Oh yeah, man. Nothing gets me pumped like hearing god awful acoustics coming from the trunk of an 88 Cutlass. Rock on, brother. Rock on.
Grounds: The grounds are nice. For an apartment, I mean. People like to leave their dog ---- in the grass, which is quite annoying. Management has asked multiple times that the residents clean up after their mutts, but to no avail. And really, when you think about it, if the residents cant respect their manager, are they going to respect you at 3am' Probably not. This year, there was a fire ant problem. I dont think Sterling really knew how to handle it because nothing was ever done. I came home one day, and found them in my bedroom. A whole lot of them. Took 3 calls for Sterling to take care of it. In my bedroom. The 12 mounds were left untouched.
Construction: The linoleum in my kitchen is coming up, the screws are stripped in my door hinges, there was a huge water leak from my water heater, the wood paneling got completely saturated, the weather stripping is god-awful, and my apartment was not cleaned when I moved in. Thanks, Sterling. I appreciate the gesture.
Office Staff: oh god. You know the saying, dont send a child to do a mans job' Well, Sterling has sent babies to do a mans job. It really is ridiculous. The management is unbelievably half-assed. Dont get me wrong, there are a few shining stars, but their brilliance is blackened by the rest of the bunch. Do not expect help, service, or anything of the sort. If you have to go to the office, make it worth your trip and jack as many cookies as you can.
Summary: If youre looking for what amounts to a big dorm, including drunken, immature kids, with no positive interactions from the management toddlers, this would be a good place. Party all you want, yell and scream all you want.knock yourself out. If youve outgrown that phase, and realize that you actually have to get serious about school, look elsewhere. SEk1KnECheF1ATXbXtrZ
