Im convinced that the good reviews are written by their staff. I live in a premium 4 x 4 and can tell you the walls are paper thin. I can hear the neighbors on the top, bottom, and side of me as if they are in my own room which is incredibly annoying and messing with my sleep schedule. They also try to scam you out of your gift card, I signed my lease in the summer yet they didn't start giving the gift cards out until over 5 months later. I was late on rent by a couple days one time, and because of that, they took the gift card away without so much as a notice. What's worse is they come in the apartments at will and try and charge you for any and everything to try and make an extra buck off their residents which I find grimy. The community also is not safe. Thousands of dollars of items were stolen from peoples cars at one point and all the office had to say about it was make sure to lock your car doors. The appliances they show you in the model are far more updated than the appliances that come with the apartment, and when moving in the apartments were pretty dirty. I would have never lived here if I knew what it was like beforehand. Most people I know including my roomates dislike living here as well. For the hefty price tag, there is much better places to live at CMU. I wouldn't want my worst enemy staying here.
