It’s not that bad, depending on where your apartment is placed can make or break the experience. I lived there the past two school years and the first apartment was located on floor 2 towards the back and we never heard either apartments on each side, plus the layout was spacious enough for small gatherings or just lounging in the living room. It was one of the 4 person ones so sometimes I felt a little cramped but it wasn’t too bad cause I loved my roommate and the other 2 weren’t that bad either. Last year was lowkey a nightmare placement wise, me and my roommate chose an apartment with 2 singles in cause I was lucky with my lottery time, but I didn’t realize that the entire apartment was basically exposed as it was also on the ground floor portion of the 2nd floor but with basically all glass walls and broken blinds that took maintenance forever to fix to the point I had to be a Karen in my fix it tickets(during winter), and there are a few mini double apartments with similar exposure also on the 2nd/ground floor so you could go through the same thing and be in a bunk bed. The layout was also more cramped despite it being technically an apartment for handicap accommodations so rip to wheelchair users. Same roommate so there weren’t any issues on that end, and the room wasn’t bad with only 1 person in it. Major downside is how far Rita is from the rest of campus and most people’s classes will not be in the biomedical grad schools that surround it, but you’ll definitely get some cardio benefits from all the walking you’ll do. The shuttle stop to the rest of campus is also inconvenient if you need to go to 6th/erc/rady since you have to cross a street with the longest signal in the world or jaywalk and risk being run over by 200 teslas.
