Graduate Hills & Graduate Gardens: TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT! (Not Recommending)

2006-05-02T00:31:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I concur strongly with the resident who stated that our management is disrespectful and unprofessional. However, my roommate is black and she has the same problems and we're both American, so it's ALL resident's, not just international or non-black.
At any rate - the management is condescending and impossible to ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-05-31T14:02:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Graduate Hills apartments are good for a Grad student who wamts to be close to school. Rent is fair and not cheap even with Grad student discount. The area is not safe with some armored rubbery. My 2 bikes were stolen one inside of building and other front of building.

Graduate Hills & Graduate Gardens: Almost two years now...I still say Yes (Recommending!)

2005-03-21T17:34:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is the gospel truth about this place.

Good things:
