Although these apartments are very flashy and appeal to the artsy and cultured, it's all show! First of all, I had to wait a week after my lease originally started to move in. This was because the place was being renovated, so I hope no one will have this problem in the future. Either way it was extremely annoying because my apartment was the model apartment, so it was finished and inhabitable! But the office was using it as a make-shift leasing office (they still have no office on-site, you have to either drive to SHS to pay your rent or pay it online for a fee). It took me a few days to get hot water. Why? Because the heater wasn't hooked up! Now I know you're probably thinking why I didn't realize this and let them know, but I was a freshman living on my own for the first time and didn't know a thing about anything. But i think it's the maintenance's responsibility to at least make sure the hot water is connected before giving the apartment the OK to be rented out! So finally the hot water gets turned on. I didn't get cable for about a week. Of course I wasn't online for a good month into it. The idea of having the front of your house be a big glass window pane seems interesting at first, but try having homeless people walk by, see you inside watching TV, then knocking on your door asking you for money. This place is set in a very bad area of town. We're talking right up the street from the homeless shelter. I've seriously had to throw my trash in the dumpster while someone was digging through it looking for stuff. AND its right behind the club strip. This might sound appealing, but trust me, on a thursday night...it gets old. Especially when you have Friday exams. The color scheme inside the apartment is pretty cool. But the exterior colors look like crap. The apartments are poorly lit. I had a huge bug problem. They claimed to have sent exterminators but the bugs kept coming. I had to finally buy a million of those little roach motels and set them up everywhere. The apartments don't have any windows, so you have to keep the doors open in order to get any ventilation. This gives the homeless ample opportunity to COME INSIDE. I'm serious! I came out of the bathroom and there was some dude in my living room asking me for some spare change. Also the front door was about 1/2 an inch too high off the ground so most of my a/c slipped out from that crack. The beds (if you get the furniture package) are hard as rocks, they're not even mattresses. The frames are made out of aluminum cans it seems (mine collapsed 3 times). And finally...the parking is a joke. There is NO GUEST PARKING. So if you're parents are driving in for a weekend, they have to get a parking pass at the towing place downtown. Or fight off drunk college kids for street parking...trust me there is none because this place is near the hottest clubs. If not, they're gauranteed to be towed (it's like $180). There is parking available for the residents, but the parking lot is poorly designed and very cramped. Plus when it rains, the northern part gets absolutely flooded. The Northern side of the apartment looks over a little park, but the lake is contaminated and the park itself is a congregation area for the homeless. *phew* okay so finally...just don't live here. Oh and the resort style pool is a big joke.
