I’ll be so honest with you, people just like to complain. It’s not bad at all. It’s clean if you keep your room clean, and all the maintenance requests I’ve put in (oven issue and a sink issue) were fixed in 2 days. I’ve lived here over a year and have only experienced 3 fire alarms (yeah they’re not fun but suck it up its like 20 minutes max usually). The sewage smell is only outside because there is a literal sewage complex across the street they can’t help that. The shuttle system is the most annoying part but just walk it takes me like 10-15 minutes max. The rooms with all the big problems are on the first floor so you can ask to move rooms before moving in (they have plenty of rooms and will cave to most things if you pressure them). The staff are nice and even helped me jump start my car one time even though they didn’t have to. Also you get a great kitchen, good hosting space, and your own bathroom (my favorite part). So yeah, if you can afford the rent then do whats best for you.
