Students beware. This place DOES NOT want your business. Don't waste time like me only to found the management's late reply and inconsistent, bureaucratic policy. They won't even tell you which room is available before application approval. They don't care if you have $100K+ in banks.

Oh, and not let any food delivery through the main door. That's about it! Loud neighbors? Tough luck, the guards won't do anything. The building management is now hiding behind a boarded up office window .....and don't expect much from the building manage/ment/er either. Overall still okay but a huge shift in caring for the tenants. Or HEAT in your apartment if...
