i don't even know where to start. Part 1.
First of all, parking enforcement is a joke. The first few months of the semester, handicap signs on parking spots on the third floor were taken down, which I assumed was because they VASTLY oversell their parking passes, so they were forced to take the handicap signs down and people were allowed to park there again. Residents saw the signs taken down, and stared parking there again for a few weeks, and a friend of mine even reached out to management to double check if it was legal, and management contacted her back and said that "yes, the signs are taken down, you can park there!" about a week later, I park there because there's nowhere else to park, next morning, there's a boot and I have to pay 75 freaKing dollars. when the parking services guy comes to remove my boot, I ask him how long the factory has been telling him to put boots on cars in these spots, he said since that morning at 8 am. so it wasn't even a rule when I parked the night before. and there was no notice the policy had changed.
I harassed the factory for weeks trying to get my money back or an explanation. they told me it was my fault for parking in the spot, and claimed that they had no idea who took those signs down, but it wasn't management, (they have security cameras) and said that it was on me. When I gave them the text receipts that showed management saying that residents are allowed to park there, they just said "well we don't know why she said that. Sorry, she's new." they weren't sorry enough to give me my money back.
About two weeks later, the rule changed again, and since then people have been parking there again. are you kidding me.
They refunded me 45 bucks Out of the 75 dollars I payed after I relentlessly harassed them for 2 weeks.
next, rent randomly just goes up so much. My lease was originally for 650. this month I payed 750 bucks with no explanation. ive never payed less than 700 bucks since I've moved in. I've called a few times asking why and they have some bs excuse about extra renters fees or something.
also, if you have friends come and visit, BE CAREFUL. My friend dropped me off at my apartment, came inside for literally 10 minutes at 11:10 pm, came back outside to leave at 11:20 pm and she had a boot on her car and had to Pay 75 bucks.
I understand she still broke the rules by parking for ten minutes. But just be warned that they are EXTREME, and RUTHLESS lol.
NEXT, (there's more? Yes. There's more. do not live here.) The doors are so so finicky. We don't lock our door at night purely because if we have a roommate out late, we know they're likely not going to get back in. My roommate just got home late and no one was home and she had to fiddle with the door for 20 minutes before the Lock worked and it opened. We have all had this problem consistently.
The dishwashers randomly just turn off and we have to call maintenance... i could write a whole other review about the plumbing, it is terrible, and the fridge constantly leaks and freezes stuff Randomly.
I like that the bus stop is close, and it's an easy walk to campus. But that's about it. do not live here If you have any other options. read more
