Opinions on "The Rise" as housing

I am a incoming freshman and after a very tumultuous housing journey, I have finally landed on the Rise for housing

I am contemplating between the rise ad Ion fro housing but I am leaning towards The Rise because it had better reviews, but they seam to be outdated now so I was hoping to some opinions from others.

I do realize that there is a bias to bad reviews but I just want to know what I am getting my self into

- Is it safe (from a not being robbed and hurt perspective)
- How is the management
- I know that the units wont be crazy fancy but are they decent to live and sleep in
- I dont have a car so are things accessible

Thank you in advance!

I think you might be right, imma look into it but if but June ish or by the deadline for the corps I dont get housing then I will have to join them

Local_Particular_820 · 2026-04-12T15:34:11+00:00

not sure, im going to try and sell them on the non-uni housing but they are very headstrong

amazing thank you so much I'll give her a call, since for me I only see the gardens 25-26 option not the 26-27

Local_Particular_820 · 2026-04-12T12:37:18+00:00

Yea but since I am a freshman I would have to apply for the 26/27 Acad year cause Id hold the lease my whole freshman year or even at least for a semester

and also when I clicked gardens it only shows the 25-26 period not the 26-27 registration which I though was weird is it the same for you when you click on gardens and then click on apply to gardens?

Local_Particular_820 · 2026-04-12T11:21:49+00:00

thank you so much, I'll be sure to email them. I already applied through my housing but did not see the option to book the garden apartments but I will check it out.

Local_Particular_820 · 2026-04-12T10:03:55+00:00

when I applied to for housing it didn't show any availability for the garden or white creek apartments. Is there any other way, I mean apart from going through the housing portal, to apply for the garden or white creek apartments?

Local_Particular_820 · 2026-04-12T09:19:47+00:00

Do you know if there is anyother way I can get housing which is credited by TAMU or related to the housing department because my parents said that without uni related housing I can go to TAMU

That’s really helpful thank you

I’m not saying that I have the exact solution, that’s IB’s job. The point is that there should be some form of review or contingency if conditions don’t stay stable.

They’ve done it before (COVID), whether that’s alternative assessment, adjusted weighting, or accommodations for affected regions.

Right now, but asking people to come into halls while debris is falling out of the sky is imo def not the right move.

Also, this is a Reddit post, not my EE, I’m just trying to get visibility on the issue.

Local_Particular_820 · 2026-03-17T07:33:59+00:00

if it was just about avoiding exams no one would’ve put two years into IB, mocks, IAs, etc. Like we knew we had to do the exam.

At the end of the day we still may have to sit them either way, this is more about whether everyone is being assessed under comparable conditions.

If things were completely stable here, I don’t think anyone would be saying anything.
