Canyon Creek Heights South — Local services in Richardson

Stayed here for my sophomore year of school and there were lots of cons staying here as well as lots of pros. Pros: It's all enclosed within 1 building. You have a nice lounge just like the Residence Halls. There are multiple study rooms. The rooms are very neat and clean and furnished and are very much newer and modern. There are vending machines and a water fountain/public bathroom here. Not far from DART bus stop.

Cons: On weekends, you have the soccer people taking up parking spots on here with a lot of noise. Water noises can happen from time to time. Laundry can be a hassle as you have a shared laundry room with everyone in the building on the first floor. It's very far from the mainland campus and most UTD buildings.

The walls are very thin so you can hear everything your neighbors are doing. The worst aspect however were the fire alarms. There were many times they would be triggered in the middle of the night when there was no fire (maybe because of the temperatures changes). It was by far the worst aspect about living in this...

Huge gamble depending on what room you picked. If you picked one with a drainage pipe running next to it, have fun going to sleep. The amount of incessant noise created from water dripping down, when it is raining and days after it has rained, is enough to drive you insane. The saving grace is, the internet is fast. But how much do you value internet over your sanity is the question? Oh and by the way, the poorly designed drainage pipes that creates the incessant noise is, "part of the design". Yeah, the people who made this place didn't really care about...
