Money snatchers, Contract threateners and Super Unhelpful

Exploited my urgency during move-in and allocate a super dirty apartment without give chance to select for once despite of many available free units. I was threatened for contract breach since day 1 and forced me paying rent and utility for vacant place for 8 months without giving me option to break the lease. Only good is gym.

THIS IS AN UNSAFE LOCATION AND NOT STUDENT HOUSING

When the non-student roommate selected for me began to hotbox the entire apartment and I asked him to stop, he started leaving piles of food mixed with razor blades around the apartment for my dog to find. When I reported my roommate trying to kill my dog to Onyx, they ignored the situation. I am now in the process of leaving this godforsaken complex.

Other highlights include people smoking crack pipes on their balconies, people catcalling and spitting on girls, drag racing in the parking lot,… and constant unenforced noise and smoking issues.

We were given a tour by Mia and she did a great job of explaining all of the different models to us. She also showed us the pool, grills and fire areas. The apartments were very nice and clean, this would be a great option!
