Resident 2014

1/30/2014

True, it's close to campus (though it means terrible noise on weekend). It finished the renovation of the cafeteria (though it didn't make the food any better). It offers "amenities" (though I have no idea what they are talking about). But there is no other good in living here. 1) Unfriendly staff. Not everyone is unfriendly, but here is what happens to you. Some of them spill coffee on your shirt and don't apologize at all. Some of them never fix your fire alarm that goes off at 3am for malfunction. Some of them glare at you when you ask them to pick up your package. 2) Brutal Management. They only care about money and never think about residents' life. They turned off A/C, hot water, electricity, and elevator very frequently in winter. I thought I was gonna die in a cold and misery. 3) Crappy Facilities. A/C makes a HUGE noise when it turns on/off, so you have to turn it off when you sleep (pretty cold in winter!). The water fountain doesn't work. The pool is closed forever. Oh, there were multiple cases of HUGE water leaks too. 4) Annoying People. It's a freshmen's dorm, so you shouldn't expect a lot from your fellow residents. But some of them smoke, have a small party the corridor at 3am on weekend, and chit chat in the study room. 5) Safety. I have not much complaints on this point, but you should know there are many homeless people around here and there was at least one aggravated assault case targeted at the resident. Overall, not a nice place to live. There are other housing options out there, so explore them. I am happy that I am getting out of here in a few months.
