High View

Move in and Roommates My first impressions of High Biew were definitely not the best as my first night, just a few hours after moving in, the electricity to my room was completely shut off. It was only to my bedroom, not my bathroom nor my roommates spaces. I couldn’t turn on another nor have my freshly bought groceries in my mini fridge be safe. I do appreciate the after hours maintenance worker helping me, after several calls, through the process of manually turning my power back on, but this… was quite a terrible experience and impression.

My second complaint is really about the roommate matching process. I do take responsibility as i did apply to the apartment relatively late, maybe beginning of august, yet the leasing front desk worker stated that the matching process was not nearly fully done and there was numerous incoming people that needed to be matched. The roommate matching survey where you tell your preferences, living conditions, and age was absolutely useless, to the point it was even harmful.. the roommates i was assigned to were complete OPPOSITES of everything i filled out on the survey. They are night owls, maintain cleanliness not frequently at all, are PHD students, and completely out of my age range by almost a decade?? Now I keep having constant issues with them regarding their schedule and dirtiness, to the point that i don’t feel comfortable at all leaving my room due to bugs, noise, and overall not feeling comfortable around them. This experience really contributes to a poor experience housing as just a college 18 year old freshman. Read More
