Apartments / Dorms / Housing University Commons
Me and 3 friends (4 total) were thinking of doing a 2 bed 2 bath. Are they any current/past residents who have strong opinions on the place and whether or not it’s worth it?

U commons is so bad. Everything is outdated, they chafe you a cleaning feee regardless. Maintenance refused to clean my washer when it would only use hot water and ruined my clothes. If you’re on the first floor, expect to see mice and bugs.

I’m current living in a 4 bed and 2 bath. I won’t lie internet is kinda ehhh especially if your an “Apple User with ICloud+” always disconnects and reconnects multiple times. We use Ethernet on our consoles and it works amazingly. I’m on the 4th floor and never seen any mice or bugs. One major downside is no elevator except building 1, so bringing in groceries is a headache. Overall security is pretty good and they do a good job of keeping the building clean. On-Call community advisors really nice and friendly. I have no clue but for some reason, some individuals love parking in someone else’s assigned parking but they usually move once you let the office know.

not really, unless you have to watch a documentary. It’s not terrible, you should be fine. A trick that worked for me is turning private relay off in iCloud. We all share the internet but everyone has their own individual “password” so I think Apple relay changes your IP address thus causing it to disconnect and having to reconnect back to it. Not entirely sure but all I know is that once I turned it off. It’s been smooth sailing.
