Resident 2013 - 2016

1/17/2016

Well I live in a renovated apartment. So my rent is 716$ instead of 650$. I would have given one star, had I been living in a standard apartment. Pros: -Good walkways -"wooden" floor -good storage space, enough cupboards in kitchen and there is a decent dressing room -good kitchen size -reasonable heating -rent includes heating and water -there are two locations were you can get drinkable water, with high quality -relatively close to campus drivingwise. Cons: -It looks like a ------ from outside, pretty depressing -no entry space separating the exit door from the living room -No good separation between the living room and the kitchen -no dishwasher -very slow internet speed of 1.8 Mbps -not all apartments have wireless internet, mine doesn't -tab water is very low quality, more than 300 ppm (I tested it), it sometimes has a colour, and always a very unpleasant taste -I have to walk for 10 minutes to arrive to the laundry room -No ATM machines, so I need to walk for about 15 to minutes to find the closest ATM machine -dirty bath -in the bathroom, whether water tab or shower, cannot obtain a strong pressure of cold water, since the faucet only goes in one direction, so temperature increases together with pressure -snow removal process from the walkways is unsatisfactory and not enough, I have to be walking carefully to not break my neck, and for some walkways you cannot avoid layers of very slidy ice -in general a pretty dirty and dusty place -it is not close to campus walkingwise, if you want to go to the closest dining hall by walking, it would take 30 minutes, and the closest department takes a similar amount of time. -if the coin machines in the laundry run out of quarters it would take them days to fill them up There are extremely little Americans living in Spartan Village. One out of 20 I would say. So this shows how bad these apartments are since Americans definitely would know better actually were to go. And even international students leave after a year or two of coming here. I heard many times from people talking that Spartan Village is the worse apartment complex. I don't know how true is that, but I can testify that they are of low quality.
