Resident 2011 - 2013

3/25/2013

Cons: First of all, the rent is cheap but you get what you pay for. They say there is a bus that shuttles to and from campus, but there is usually a problem at least once a week. The units come with 3 or 4 bedrooms, but you get one less pass than needed per person. That is an extra payment per month. I have never had issues with the cable, but the internet was out the entire first 2 months of fall semester 2012. Multiple complaints with vague answers when spoken with the staff. I can hear my neighbors television through the walls. The downstairs are absolutely freezing in the winter months. I have to use an electric heater (aka: another bill). People park on the corners of the complex where the lines are yellow. The apartment complex claims they will tow people but has never done it. I don't think owners clean after there pets at all and the grounds people don't bother with it either. Be prepared for "unexpected" maintenance visits. It is always hard to find a person in the office that actually knows what is going on. You pay a large deposit per person that is non-refundable (around $250 per person). The last complaint I have is that there is not enough hot water to last a full shower. My roommates and I have to rotate times during the day to shower so that the water isn't freezing. We have checked the heating element and turned the water heater to the highest setting. The problem is that there are 4 showers and a water heater built for 1. Pros: The rent is cheap. The areas are large. Each person gets their own bathroom with another located on the main level for guests. Washer and drier are in the units. Free cable and internet. Trash and water are included in the rent. This place really just needs staffing that care about their job. That includes maintenance, grounds crew, and office staff. Some TLC with the grounds and maybe insulation in the walls could fix a lot of stress.
