2005-10-12T12:56:57-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Management does not care at all about the residents. I am a non-smoker. They knowingly put a smoker in my apartment.

2005-01-27T11:59:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I completely agree with all the negative reviews...a much better deal is easy to find, but regardless I still got suckered into it because there isn't really anyway to know better when you first get unless you shop around or know people that aren't freshman coming in.

University Pines Apartments: Terrible!!! (Not Recommending)

2003-04-25T00:00:00-06:00

From MagnusCaliburn: The "apartment" complex itself is nothing fancy. More like glorified dorms. The rent is appaling even for student housing. $325 for half of a 2BR? Gimme a break! And the only thing they pay for is water (and the water here tastes like dirt, too!)
