plain and simple. i'd rather live in a cardboard box than live at the Reserve. There is absolutly nothing to like about this place. It's finals week and they hired people to paint our building at 6:30 in the morning, we have been woken up every day this week by ladders banging and paint spraying. The internet works MAYBE 30% of the time. the matinance crew is a joke, and it takes 3 weeks for them to come over once you've filled a request. And the rest of the staff are a bunch of inconsiderate idiots. Basically, once you've signed a lease your treated like crap by every employee here. On top of that, the electric bills are unbelievably high(i live in a 2 bedroom apt and the bill averages 100$ a month), the walls are paper thin, and the bus is a joke(its always full durring morning hours, and if you can't get on, too bad, your out of luck). i thought i would save money by riding the bus and not having to buy a parking pass, but I've already had 8 parking tickets this year because the bus was full and I had to drive to class. The tanning bed is a joke, half the bulbs are burnt out on any given day, I bought a package at the Rec center because I don't even tan in the bed here(and i'm a pale Irish girl). My roommate and I were so excited to move out of the dorms and into our own apartment, but after living at this place all year, I would pick the dorms over this place ANY DAY.
bottom line, DO. NOT. LIVE. HERE.!!!!!
