Do NOT Rent Here -- You'll Regret It…read more This place is completely overpriced for what you get. The walls are paper-thin -- you can hear everything your neighbors say and do. Privacy doesn't exist here. The apartment I was given was significantly smaller than the one I was shown during the tour. When I brought this up, management ignored me -- just like they ignore pretty much everything else. The appliances are unreliable at best. The stove broke, the shower leaks, and the gas grills outside... they almost never work and are never cleaned. On top of that, the gym smells awful, and the ventilation inside the apartments is practically nonexistent. The stove vent doesn't even lead outside, so every time you cook, your entire place reeks -- and since the windows don't open, you're stuck with it. Temperature control is a joke. My apartment is either freezing or sweltering, It does not push effectively to my side of the apartment. You'll constantly feel uncomfortable no matter the season. Random No wifi! Fire alarms going off for no reason. Coffee shop is never open when you need it. Management is the worst part. They don't respond to questions or maintenance requests, and they absolutely do not care about the residents. They use manipulative tactics like saying the building is "almost full" to pressure you into signing quickly -- which is a lie. I spoke to someone trying to sublease their unit, and they said the complex is regularly over 10% vacant. This place is full of broken promises, poor maintenance, and indifferent management. Save yourself the money, time, and frustration. Look elsewhere. Seriously.

This shouldn't even be allowed. When someone does answer, they tell you "I don't know" or just doesn't give you service for another couple of days to weeks. Don't live here.

I paid…read morethe application fees twice for different floor plans and was told my application didn't go through. Finally, I was able to sign a lease online with this housing company only for them to send my student and email stating that the lease/contract was cancelled. They already took/charged a security deposit fon my card. The customer service staff was professional, but the whole process felt like a scam. When I demanded PA Landlord Tenant Lease Termination note for clarity, the company sends a blank email with a header stating: Lease Cancellation. PLEASE stop targeting desperate parents and students who need accommodation knowing there is high demand for students seeking housing, I am still waiting for my refund and Termination Note.

This has been my first semester living off campus here at Penn State in The Graduate Apartments. My…read moreroommates and I managed to get an apartment on the first floor which has ceilings significantly higher than the other floors of the complex. If you want an apartment that feels more spacious I definitely recommend the first floor. Overall, the complex is clean and very lively on the weekends. I wouldn't recommend studying any weekend night in the complex though. It can get pretty noisy with parties and whatnot. In addition, any mess that is made in the hallways is quickly cleaned up by morning which I'm always very impressed by. However, there is a pretty good study room for doing work on weeknights if your roommates are too noisy or distracting. If you're looking for a fun place to party on the weekends and an overall good place to live I recommend The Graduate Apartments.

Warning to all parents who are about to get sucked in to the annual rush to sign a lease for next…read moreyear. Save your money! The Rise is not worth the price you pay. While the location is great, the property is not well run. Maintenance is slow, it takes days to get mail (even when its a FedEx) and they do not respond timely to inquiries. I was infuriated when they intentionally shut down all of the trash chutes for all 12 floors during move out week......trash was everywhere and people were trying to move out and haul trash in the elevators at the same time. It was a mess for DAYS! Elevators are frequently out of service. Hardly the luxury accommodations you are paying for. I originally was willing to pay the price for the security aspects of the Rise....unfortunately this was a giant lie! There was an issue with that we needed to involved the police (a stalker made his way up to the secured 12h floor). The police viewed the survelliance footage and found the stalkers....but when they asked the Rise for a copy of the video footage, they were told that it was "too much trouble". One of my daughters roommates subletted her room (unknown to the other roommates) after they left in May (even though they were all still paying for May, June and July). The roommate was an employee of the Rise. While she benefited financially, the other girls were held responsible for the utilities and possible damages from this unauthorized, unaccommpanied individual. For 3 months, the Rise employees gave access for a stranger to enter my daughters apartment!!!! They nickel and dime you for everything!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter left her bathroom, bedroom and common areas EMMACULATE! They charged her almost $500 for turnover fees (over $2k for all of the roommates combined) for an apartment that had no damage. They are scam artists! So this is the place for you if you want broken elevators, shut down trash chutes, rude and unresponsive management, slow mail service, broken hot tub, a false sense of security and empty pockets!!!!!
