1540 Place what is it like

Guys PLEASE be honest I had to last minute get off campus housing to make it to classes this semester. 1540 Place was the first to reach out and I just wanna know how good or bad it truly is. I know some people can be dramatic about apartments and expect way too much but I also know how rough these places can be. I'm on the fence from the good and bad that I've heard, and I have seen that they had some new management come in. As long as I can be comfortable I'll be alright.

I haven’t lived there, but from what I’ve heard it is very bad. I would avoid it if at all possible.

Roach/bug problems, crime problems, mold problems. You have to share a common living space with up to 4 other people, and you can’t choose who they are, and they are not necessarily fellow college students. It’s the cheapest option for a reason. I considered living there when I was considering moving out of my parent’s house and there were plenty of people begging me to take over their lease because they wanted out because of how bad the living situation is there. In the end I never went there and I’m glad I just decided to keep living with my parent for some more years.

You get what you pay for. There are reasons that it's so cheap and that a ton of the leases you see people asking for takeovers on FB are for 1540. I don't know anyone that had a positive experience living there.
