I agree with the post below, i have no idea how anyone can actually recommend living here. The managers are completely rude and once you sign a contract with them they act like you're just a piece of ----. Also, the worst thing about this place is the apartment guest policy. I have LEASE with the building, not my school. I have to sign in and sign out guests. Literally go down the elevator that takes 20 mins to come, just to show me face to security so they can leave. UNBELIEVABLE. They don't accomdate AT ALL if you have a lease and you will most likely end up hating your life living here. TRUST ME, this place is a no-go. I pay around $1300 for an "updated" apartment that didn't have functional internet during the school year. I had to go to school building to access something as small as a youtube video. The heating and AC aren't that bad, I've heard bad stories is another units though. This place is supposedly ran by new people, but it's clearly lacking any change since these people aren't any different than the previous 2East people. Oh and I had a friend over and was thoroughly embarrased when one of the jack-off security guards told me he was going to write me up. I'm 23 years old and I don't know what he can do by "writing me up" but usually when an employee of a building you are paying premium prices for talks to you like that your --- gets fired. But 777 South State or 2 East whatever you want to call it doesn't give a rats behind about anybody that lives in the building. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS M-O-N-E-Y. I was a transfer student so I wanted to live on campus to meet people. BAD IDEA. I solely wish I had chose somewhere else and met friends a different way. Columbia also puts all the people who want quiet hallways and no drinking in this building so you won't really meet anyone worth while regardless. LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO GLAD MY LEASE IS UP IN LESS THAN A MONTH! WOOT

    Thank you for your review. As the new manager of the building, I am sorry that your didn't enjoy your stay at 777 South State (formerly 2 East 8th St.). I understand that the guest policy is a bit tedious, however, we need to have rules in place to make sure we know who is coming and going from the building for everyone's safety. We believe our guest policy is the best way to do this. MDU is our internet provider. If your internet was not working, we could have put in a work order to get it fixed simply by calling their toll free number. They are usually able to fix it within a few days. I wish your stay had been better and as new management, we hope everyone will approve of the new changes we are making. Thanks!
