Review Title:   You'll Be Living In A Box With A Bathroom
Reviewer:   Anonymous
Review Date:   6/2/2005

I lived in the 2bd/2bathrom apartment away from the moldy apartments of university commons east. The pool they have at UC West is a dirty and small. The walls are basically hard paper and no matter what your neighbors do you can hear them walking on you if they're on the top and if they play music. The carpets are cheap and get worn very quickly and the shower is pretty small. It's basically just fancy box with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a wash room. Hey but the good news is the maintance people are fast (although stuff just kept breaking for no good reason). Having a walk-in closet is cool as well as your own bathroom. They don't provide desks but the rest of the apartment is furnished. The place is pretty cheaply made and the vents are built in the floor which means that the dust from the floor will be constantly in the air (don't move here if you have bad or moderate allergies). There is serious problem with the mosquitoes and beetles around this side because we have a couple of ponds so close to us which attract bugs (pack bug spray). The whole time my security system never worked which might not matter because the whole apartment is so flimsy anyways. Not a problem but a matter of concern to people with cat allergies: many cats live around here and they are constantly roaming the complex day and night. Might be a problem for you. On a whole, not a horrible place but not worth shelling out $420.00 a month w/o utilies included. Basically a rip-off.
