It's a nice enough place to live, but they REALLY need to get their stuff together. The good things: the parking garage is connected to the building, so you can park on the same floor that you live. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing feature and definitely the best part about living here. Convenient to and from classes, and the gym is great for cardio (barely any resistance machines though)
The bad: where to begin. The first day I moved in, I put all my dishes in the dishwasher and ran the dishwasher. SUPER difficult to close, slam it shut anyway. Midway through the cycle, I notice a huge puddle on the floor. The next day I put in a work order for a leaky dishwasher. A man came around 3 days later, said he was unable to fix the dishwasher since "the cabinets were built around the dishwasher", so someone would have to come shave down the cabinets before he could work on the dishwasher. That was over a month ago. Since then, my roommate has spoken to staff and still no one has come back. The bedroom doors are so thin that the little door stopper at the top of the door that makes it so the door doesn't slam literally put a hole through my door. Yes, the little rubber circle penetrated my door. Which is how I know how thin the door is (I can see it). Also, no one has access to mail. During move in, they said that mailbox keys would be provided soon. Seeing as it's a new complex I understood that it would take some time to get everything straightened out. I understand that. But it has been over a month and you have to go down to the front desk during business hours and ask them if you have gotten any mail. With packages, they at least email you a notification but it is still extremely ridiculous. The most intolerable thing is probably the alarm system. The alarm has gone off more than 5 times in the past 3 weeks, all for at least 30minutes at a time with one of them being at 2:20am on a Thursday night. I understand that this happens, especially as new store are being placed below stanhope, but for something that happens with this frequency you would imagine it shouldn't take 30+ minutes to shut off the alarm. Or that they would have fixed the system so that it doesn't go off for no reason. Lastly, this is very minor but it really drives me crazy. The desk and chair provided in each room were not selected thoughtfully. The chair cannot be pushed under the desk, meaning even when your room is all clean and straight, you still have a chair that is fully in the middle of the space. Also you cannot scootch yourself into the desk super far since the chair is too tall to fit under the desk. Anyway, it just really makes me frustrated.
