Castilian Apartments - College Park: Worst Place I've Ever Lived (Not Recommending)

2008-03-26T14:28:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The Castilian is by far the worst place I've ever lived. On the tour of the Castilian, they tell you that the elevators are all going to be replaced by the time school starts.

2007-06-04T20:12:53-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Don't believe the extremely positive reviews, "this place is god's gift to students" because staff is obviously writing them.

Castilian Apartments - College Park: Stay Away (Not Recommending)

2007-03-31T18:31:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is terrible. Few people opt to renew their lease. Food has little variety and is mostly a bunch of unhealthy fried garbage.

2006-12-01T17:55:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The Castilian could be a decent place to live, but certain flaws make it rather annoying.
