| - First of all, the complex itself backs up to a middle school. If you like being woken up at 7:15 every M-F by screaming brats & bouncing basketballs, this is the place for you.
When you walk into the apartment & shut the front door, you'll notice the gap along the bottom & side of the door will be so big, it lets in all sorts of air & all the sounds of the outside. It WILL take maintenance three separate tries & several hours to "fix" this issue. And by "fix", I mean "stuff it so tight with weatherstripping that you now have to use all of your bodily strength to pull the door closed when locking it from the outside". Furthermore, it will take both your hands to be able to turn the bolt to unlock it, so I hope you aren't carrying anything.
Past the front door, you'll see to your side a kitchen that looks like it was painted by a 2-year-old, with cabinetry older than you probably are if you're living in an apartment this cheap in a college town. The same toddler apparently also got ahold of a hammer, because the fridge is covered in dents. You'll notice a weird, grimy substance along the bottom of the dishwasher that doesn't clean dishes for crap, & the drip pans on the stove will be caked in grime (oh, & you'll get charged $15 for replacing them once you move out, despite having cleaned them multiple times throughout the year). You'll continue to discover the cleaning job wasn't all that thorough when you accidentally make a mark on the wall & wash it off, only to discover that the walls aren't actually that color - the previous tenants were apparently heavy smokers. You'll realize another fault with the walls when you go to hang a mirror & deduce that no, the mirror isn't crooked - the WALL is.
In the living room, you'll discover there are NO LIGHTS. So you better hope your apartment faces east or west because otherwise, enjoy sitting in a dim room if you don't want to turn on the lamp. Oh yeah, & good luck finding a suitable outlet because the prongs to whatever you're plugging in won't stay in most of them. Any natural light you might be able to take advantage of comes from the shoddily painted French doors, with a gap at the bottom many a little bug will find its way through. These French doors lead to a small patio overlooking deader than dead grass - unless you happen to live near the office where the grass is lush & green to draw victims - I mean, visitors - in.
Continuing over to the hallway, you'll find a small coat closet on one end & a set of shelves behind a door on the other end. These are your only means of storage, so use them wisely. One bedroom door will never close all the way, so you'll need something to prop against it to ensure privacy. This same bedroom will have a window that you'd love to open, except there is no screen. When you're wondering why you can hear everything outside so well, you'll find it's this same window that isn't sealed properly & there is a one-inch gap between the windowsill and the window. Both bedrooms will have the closet doors constantly come off track, & both will have their fair share of cockroaches. If the little demons wedge their way in from the front door or from the large gaps that run between the carpet & the baseboard, you'll never know. Oh, and did I mention NO LIGHTS?
In the bathroom, you'll find grout work that looks like it was done by the aforementioned 2-year-old. You'll often go to take a shower, only to discover that the hot water is not working AGAIN - that is, if you didn't already get the notice that shows up on your front door once a week. Make sure you have someone who can take your pet on short notice, too, because when your bathroom countertop starts peeling like it's got a disease, you'll have to vacate the property for 18 hours or risk respiratory failure. Don't bother turning on the fan when you shower - it sounds like someone is dying.
During summer, you'll get charged an insane amount for the stupid chiller system that doesn't even really cool the place down (invest in a box fan). Oh yeah, did I mention that the AC also gets added to your electricity bill, so you're basically paying for AC twice? Unfortunately, it's not like you can really go cool off in the pool since it's turned green. Guess you'll just have to do more laundry since you're sweating through all of your clothes. It won't be an easy task since quite a few of the washers and dryers are usually always out of order. Oh, and beware of creepy guys that hang around and make sexually suggestive comments to you.
When you give notice to move out, be sure to take pictures and bring witnesses, because they'll later say that you didn't give notice & now owe them another month's rent. When you get the final bill & can't pay because you're too busy dealing with your mother's death, they'll send you to IQData - a firm involved in several lawsuits for lying and harassment.
Oh and did I mention it constantly stinks of weed?
TL;DR: Don't live here, it sucks.
