Convenient to campus, quiet.

Let’s start with the pros. It’s a one bed, one bath apartment and I don’t have a roommate. It’s down the road from campus, so my commute to school is not bad by any means. Downside? The lights don’t always turn on (it’s not a bulb issue), the floors creak SO MUCH, the paint job is a landlord special because it’s awfully done, and it has a weird smell. I also don’t think I should have to pay to use the washer/dryer.

IThe hallways always smell awful, like mold.
There are always spiders, and bugs everywhere (my apartment and the hallway included)
I have to change the humidifier water at least 3x a day
They told me an exterminator will be coming to my apartment to spray, but they have yet to stop by.
And the rugs in my apartment are disgusting and dirty.

Overall my experience has been positive. In my building, it is quiet since it is only graduate and law students. Laundry is on the first floor. There is plenty of parking and there is a shuttle to school since it is run by RWU. The apartment is spacious with an updated kitchen and bathroom.

This has been a great place to live. We haven't had any major issues with maintenance things, such as heating or plumbing. As a graduate student living in the same area as the undergrads, it can get loud at times (especially late on the weekends). The only issues I have run into are getting emails concerning housing that don't apply to me, as they are for the undergrads. Also, we have a lot of little gnats/flies around and no matter what I have tried to do they won't go away. I have heard that that is an issue other residents have run into as well.

-wifi is really bad
-hot water does not last long
-no AC in bedrooms
-loud undergrads
-mold

This was the best thing that could of happened. I am a student with a SAS cat that does not have the money to fund an apartment or home with my cat. I was so thankful that RWU let me have my cat because I looked for months and I could not afford a place that would allow my cat and also some places would not. I am hoping (praying) that I am reside here for my 2023-2024 year. I wouldn't have been able to be in this program without this housing. Life saver.

Great, too expensive though
