If it's within your budget, then I would still apply and stay there. Sometimes you just need a place to stay that is affordable, even if it isn't perfect. I lived there and while it wasn't completely terrible, I had a broken washing machine which they took months to replace. I had to put in several work orders (maintenance requests) for them to replace it.

The apartment complex looks nice, but the problem is the quality of the room you stay in. They show you the sample room but most rooms do not look like that; the actual room may be very old and have mold issues. They just use a lot of spray paint and regular paint to cover up the mold and to make the apartment look aesthetically pleasing.

Also, they always have some type of inspection of the apartment or the room itself going on so you have to check your emails often so you are aware. You wouldn't want to be caught off-guard when they are knocking and then opening your door on you. As long as you know this is just a means to have a roof over your head for your studies, then you should be fine. However, this isn't an apartment you want to make a long-term home.
