IT IS SAFE: I don't know why everyone says it's not safe, there is an on campus police officer WHO LIVES THERE 24/7. Listen to the menu when you call the office number and the extension will patch you through to him. If not, go knock on his door. If it is a true emergency CALL THE POLICE. What is an apartment complex manager gonna help if something is stolen? Get insurance and call 911 like a normal person. Also, they don't scam you. They are college kids working there the same as us and sometimes they can get confused on what is offered or not offered, just be patient.
I enjoy living here for the price it is. They are the cheapest student housing, so you get what you pay for. However, the amenities are great. Our service/maintenance requests are always serviced that same day. Since it is an outdoor walk up, you will be greeted by roaches occasionally, but only if you don't clean up regularly and choose to leave your door open. Just spray your entrance way to avoid that. Also, there are wasps occasionally as well. The internet can be slow at times, but works better for laptops than phones. The cable is great with HBO. The gym could be nicer. A lot of the machines buttons don't work, and there aren't a lot of weight lifting options. However, the apartment are spacious, and the furniture and appliances are updated. They honored our security deposit free application even after we switched apartments, which is nice. The stairways could be cleaner. The staff is very polite for all the BS they have to deal with from coddling and relentless parents/guarantors. I have never had a problem in the parking lot with my car or any of my friends/families cars. The pool is great and they have a lot of fun things in the gaming room. It is walking distance from the Bilo and Riverwalk. The shuttle breaks down sometimes, but they always accommodate with vans, and you can walk next door to Garnet River Walk/Red Tail and use theirs if your stealthy enough. I wish the trash situation was better, we have to walk through the parking lot and carry all of our trash to the dumpster which is annoying. The utilities cap is very helpful towards budgeting for paying rent. I always paid in advance, and everything was always fine. The counter tops are ugly, but that's something you can look past. My room mate and I are moving into a two bedroom, and she works for them now. Which is great because they are always open to new ideas. Looking forward to another year.
