Cons:
The dorms at the Commons are a nightmare, and I would not recommend them to anyone
1. Extremely loud all the time to the point the noise wakes you up. No on respects quiet hours. I had to purchase ear plugs just to go sleep.
2. Housing always wants to charge you for something or increase fees. They sent an email saying they will charge everyone if they keep getting complaints about the restroom being dirty. As if it's not the cleaning crew job to clean the bathrooms.
3. Mainteance is the worst. They restrained our dorm room AC unit, making the rooms very hot and cold, when they want. They close out work orders as completed that aren't completed.
4. Extremely small dorm rooms.
5. Very thin dorm walls, can hear everything
6. Community style bathrooms, that are always dirty, uncleaned and gross. Who wants to come to college and have a community style bathrooms
7. Housing "higher ups" say they will meet with you then when they are suppose to the stop responding to your emails.
8. Alot of unhealthy snacks at refuel station
9. Transloc is not accurate and hard to track
10. Expensive city(ubers)
11. Professors like Ortherio Goodwin you have to email 3-4 times for a response back
12. LVR only for Doctor students. Should be an exception for people at a certain age, like 30 years and older
13. The University rents the field by the Track out to any and everyone, to point Track athletes can't even get access to the track and field stadium on weekends to workout sometimes
14. Track needs to be replaced, causes knee pain and shin splints
15. Serbian soccer athletes have taken over the main area. Turning it into a soccer field at night. Always rearranging the furniture. leaving the place extremely dirty and wont even fix it back. They are always shouting and talking so loudly. It's a pain even working with them in the cafe.
16. You have to call or text the RA'S every night for peace and quiet
17. People running up and down the hallways, shouting, cursing, disturbing the peace. The students at the Commons act as if this is their individual home, and aren't living with others.
18. The cleaning staff never clean inside the showers. So they are always dirty from people using them daily. Hair in showers, tissue paper on the floors. people smoking in the bathroom, Soap dish area has dirt build up. Some shower curtains have mildew on them and are never washed.
19. Some of the restrooms are out of order and mainteance has yet to fix them, it's been months.
20. I am an international student athlete & it sucks that international students are forced to take atleast 2 classes on campus.
21. Everything is far away. you need a car in this city, not a bicycle.
22. Alot of fruits with no seeds, so no real fruits.
23. Sometimes, some staff can come off racist.
Pros
1. Athletic Trainers/Chiropractics are phenomenal
2. Dining center food is great, but they do fall short on a few things
3. Beautiful Campus, nature scenery, a bit big
4. Your individual coaches and teammates
5. Alot of resources to help you(counseling, orthopedics etc.)
6. There is a Fitness Center and student athlete gym
7. For the most people are very helpful
8. A few healthy snacks at the refuel station (possible bars)
Socrates and Starbucks on campus
9. On campus work for students but the pay is low. read more
