University Circle Apartments

Students, you deserve better than this!
The management here was rude and horrible. The people across the hall from us would literally have parties six days a week with music loud enough to keep the entire floor awake until four AM. Our neighbors actually tried to break into our apartment TWO times. After calling the police, the management showed no interest in helping us with what they referred to as «our» problems. The hallways often smelled like pot, tobacco, alcohol, vomit, or a combination of the above. On one occasion, someone vomited outside of our apartment, and management didn’t have it cleaned for a week. Similar instances happened numerous times with broken beer bottles in the hallway, spilled soda, and garbage bags left in the middle of the halls. The smell would get so bad that it would actually get into our apartment.
Whenever we would have an issue with the apartment itself, such as toilets, showers, and refrigerators not working properly, the management would take 3 – 4 days to fix the issue. The building itself (building A) was not too bad. Obviously, the location is great for students. The apartments have the look of an old, haunted hotel, which is kind of charming. There is also a garden area which would be pretty nice, if they hadn’t left it locked so much of the time.
In terms of cost, it is cheaper than other student apartments, although you sure get what you paid for. But really, but the management is terrible and treated us like children, with the manager sometimes refusing to talk to us if she was in a bad mood. We moved out two years ago, and we STILL haven’t gotten our security deposit back, despite the manager promising us that she would send it soon. Please don’t consider these apartments. I know it can be tempting to sign up for the first cheap apartment you find near UT, but when you start having problems on the first day you move in, you’ll remember reading this review and hate yourself for signing away a year of your life to people who won’t even pretend to care about their tenants.
