I lived at Alight for two years and never had any regrets about living there. As a student, I was…read morehoping to find a nice, affordable place to live in Laramie that offered basic amenities and utilities all for one price. I didn't want to have to find a place and work out the logistics of signing a separate contract with cable/internet provider plus utilities to the city. Alight was nice because I paid rent and they took care of the rest. As a student, I was also concerned with keeping my overall cost of living low. While Alight does fall into an upper tier cost-wise, the price that they give you is the price that you pay. Most apartments around Laramie really aren't all that much cheaper when you factor in utilizes. The apartment grounds are well kept and usually very quiet, although I did live in building 11 which placed me away from the central part of the complex. Many reviews complain about animal waste on the premises, which I noticed in my time at Alight. The grounds keeping staff are great about cleaning it up quickly, management just needs to be more strict about enforcing the rules. I requested an apartment on the third floor in the preferences on my application, knowing that I would be annoyed with any noise from above. Management did a great job of meeting my preferences and matching me with very compatible roommates. The internet provider that Alight partners with is a third party that I had never heard of; however, the internet service provided is seriously fast (I averaged about 200Mbs down via wifi with ping of maybe ~10ms) and very reliable. I was in and out of the main office every day because I used their free coffee bar and shuttle, staff was always very professional and fun to talk to. Their study room was always a great resource for studying and printing documents. Over the course of two years, I put in only a few maintenance requests that were always taken care of within a day or two. The maintenance guys do a great job of taking care of things around the complex. One of them has even taken the time and initiative to build some of the tables and furniture in the common areas, very cool! Some reviews have commented on crime or the front gate, which I always perceived to be a non-issue. The complex is also in a great part of Laramie, adjacent to the golf course, hiking trails, and the hospital. The East Express lot is right down the road if you need to utilize campus transit services. Your experience at Alight Laramie will be what you make of it, management is great to work with and very reasonable. I was a bit of a non-traditional student and I can see how this would be a great place for traditional students and non-traditional students alike. When I was figuring out where to live, I was divided between Alight and The Pointe. I toured both places and told staff at both to "call me Monday and we'll see where I stand". Only the staff at Alight called me back and that's why I gave them my business, I'm really glad I did. Alight offers great quality of life for Laramie. Like I said, it's a little pricey but I thought it was definitely worth it.

Hey apartment searchers. I'm a college student attending school in Laramie, WY and I've lived at…read moreThe Pointe at Wyo since August 2014. As I write this review, it's nearly April 2016 and over the year and eight months that I've lived here I've come to know the place pretty well. I'd like to share what my experience here has been like with you so that you can make an informed choice about where you choose to rent from in Laramie. When I first came to Laramie searching for a place to live, I had never heard of an apartment complex quite like The Pointe. Each apartment is composed of 4 bedrooms, each having its own full bathroom. There is a large kitchen with new stainless steel appliances and a spacious living room including two couches, two end tables, and one coffee table. There is a washer and dryer in each apartment. Each bedroom is furnished with a desk, desk chair, dresser, and night stand. It really is a modern looking and well equipped apartment that comes at a cost that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere for what you are provided. What's unique about living at The Pointe vs renting with a traditional lease is that your rent remains the same no matter how many people are living in the apartment with you. For example, if you move into a unit that has three people living in it, and they all leave, you are not stuck with paying the rent of their three, now vacant, rooms. Your rent will remain at your signing price throughout the duration of your lease, in my case $535/month for a third floor unit with vaulted ceilings. During my initial tour of The Pointe, about 6 months prior to my move in, I was ooooed and ahhhed by the three hot tubs, firepit, the well equipped gym, and the newness of everything in the apartments. While I am still mostly happy living here, there have been disappointments. First of all, when I finally moved in 6 months after my tour, I was surprised to find the hot tubs lacking a crucial ingredient....water. And they've been like that. For. 20. Months. That's right, I've not once had the opportunity to sit in the hot tubs that I was promised during my tour and I've lived here for nearly 2 years. There has been a recent change in management and much construction has been going on in an attempt to get the hot tubs up and running. I just hope they get it taken care of sooner than later, because that has been a huge let down. Secondly, while The Pointe has since switched internet providers and now has much faster and more reliable internet, the internet was out for a couple of months in 2015. Although the fact that we didn't have internet was frustrating in itself, the tipping point for me was that we were not being communicated with from management. I just wanted to be told the truth. Tell me why I don't have internet and give me an honest timeframe as to when I might be expecting it to return. We were provided a temporary solution of mobile hotspots; however, most residents quickly burned through the allocated data and were again stuck without internet. BUT....management as I mentioned, has definitely changed for the better here at The Pointe. During a recent spring snowstorm, our internet went out. Having had such a negative experience with such situations in the past, I expected nothing different this time. But as I walked down the stairs to get into my car to go to class, I noticed a new sign on the entryway door. It stated that management was aware of the internet situation and was attempting to fix the problem. "Wow" I thought. This is nice, now I know that they know something is wrong and that they are working on a solution. In addition, The Pointe was tweeting live updates about the situation on its Twitter account. So nice to know what was going on as it happened rather than being left in the dark as we were in the past. So things are definitely turning around and really might be the reason that I resign a lease here at the Pointe. If you've lived in Laramie during the summer, you'll know that weather is pretty mild, but can get up into the 80s and so air conditioning is nice to have on those really hot days. Over the last two summers that I've lived here, the air conditioning hasn't worked at all...instead, "freezing up" and so you're better off just using the blinds and opening windows. Now, some of the other perks of living at The Pointe include a shuttle that runs to and from the University of Wyoming so that you do not have to pay for parking on campus, a large theater room that can be fun to hang out in and watch shows with friends, computer labs and study rooms to get homework done in, and a nicely equipped gym. The gym has the basics, a couple of treadmills, a couple of ellipticals (if they are not still broken....kind of cheap equipment but nice to have nonetheless), free weights, a Bowflex machine, jump boxes, and although I've never used it, a tanning booth that is free for tenants to use.

I used to live here and was NOT HAPPY. My roommates were disgusting and management did nothing…read moreabout it. The maintenance guy was simple-minded, too, which was probably why he had so many uncompleted work orders according to other reviews I've read. The shuttle driver at the time was super friendly and we all loved him. I hope that the higher ups for The Pointe knows what an embarrassment of a manager they have and that she's the reason that place is going belly-up and all the bad reviews they have. So glad to be out of there and I highly recommend to live ANYWHERE ELSE.

I lived at Powell Enterprises while I was in law school and I would like to recommend them as a…read moregreat apartment complex for any student attending University of Wyoming. The front office staff and the maintenance staff were excellent during my three years in Laramie. I've lived in apartment complexes before where you don't know the front office or maintenance people and it can be frustrating to resolve issues if you don't have a relationship with the management. Fortunately, this is not a problem with Powell Enterprises. They are super friendly, super helpful, and SUPER PATIENT with FAFSA funding. While I don't condone being late on rent, there were many times my first year of law school where I was just buried with work and forgot that the month had changed! Leeann was so kind to me and so patient. So many times, Leeann would ask how school was going and it felt like she really cared about my studies and career, even though she knew that I was a short-term resident. In my three years at Powell, I never had an issue that went unresolved and I never felt more at home in an apartment complex. During law school, I recommended living at Powell Enterprises and am still recommending that if you need a place to live while attending at UW or, even if you are simply a non-student renter, you can't beat the service and friendliness of Powell Enterprises. Safe, quiet, friendly staff, responsive maintenance staff, clean apts: simply put, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Powell Enterprises does a great job. The apartments are…read morenice and clean. The people that work there's now how to run an apartment complex, keep it nice, and because of that they charge a well deserved premium in the Laramie rental market. They fix machines that break. They shovel the walk. They are willing to go the extra mile to help you. They maintain the property. And the heating isn't much of an issue. There is one problem though. You will not get your deposit back. Between the fees you are charged per the lease agreement and the stuffed up "cleaning" bill that you have to pay them to do, you'll be lucky if you get half of your deposit back.

One of the nicest recreational facilities I've ever been in and a huge stadium (Laramie almost doubles in population during the football games). Yes, it does get below 0 in the winter and boy does that wind blow, but I would rather have winter there than some of the other places I have lived. Free movies on Friday nights in the union and multiple ways to get involved from religious activities to rodeo teams to swing dances on Thursday nights, and big name concerts such as Josh Turner and Brett Eldredge. College town prices in a drinking town. The engineering building is in quite a need of upgrade (feeling more like a dungeon to me), but has great views. One thing I considered before attending here was the small size (which is good if you want more one on one attention with your advisors but bad if your department is a little more clique-y). Another benefit of that was that grad students always got to do some kind of field project or be able to collect their own research. Having the King Air was a huge benefit. It was a tough program, but I'm lucky to have an advisor that didn't give up on me. One thing I didn't appreciate was the greed of the university officials. Here, one of my officemates was not funded for his PhD and my other officemate was not paid for her last semester and had to find an outside job. Meanwhile, they were still bringing in new students to the department and building a shiny new engineering building across the street. While I didn't fully appreciate it while I was there, I find myself missing those open skies and Wyoming sunsets. (And I'm happy to say that I finished grad school debt free because of this university) And P.S., that cowboy logo is everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE

Maintenance entered my apartment without notice while I was asleep and not dressed. They stayed inside for over twenty minutes, ignored multiple requests to leave, and only walked out when I said I would call 911. When I first asked them to leave they calmly said "No...we are here for maintenance". Freaked out and alarmed I said get out or I would call 911 and they said "Do it, we will be gone before they get here. They then left before the police could arrive... What happened afterward was just as alarming. The responding police refused to take a report, called them while en route to my location as the person who called with the emergency to get their side first, withheld my 911 call recording for nine months, and the body‑cam footage from that day "disappeared" during litigation. All of this is documented. Three hours after the incident, I received a non‑renewal notice with no explanation other than we were "no longer in alignment". I rented in major cities for years and never experienced anything close to this.
