University Oaks

This is my second year living at university oaks. I love that it is conveniently located right off campus and it comes fully furnished. They are overpriced, but the amenities are nice. Maintenance has come in a timely manner and fixed any issues that I had. They do have a major parking issue that needs to be fixed and it sucks that you have to pay to park, but its a college apartment. They’re going to milk you for your money anywhere you go. Overall, I’ve had no major issues and I plan on living there again next year!

Parents, be aware. This place is not for your kids… or anyone for that matter. My daughter went to Kent State University. This place is very conveniently located to the University. Don’t be fooled. This place is a cesspool… literally! She had neighbors fecal matter and urine bubbling up in her shower. See photo! When she contacted manager (Wendy), she sent some maintenance guy in to snake her toilet. Shortly after it happened again, and again, some maintenance guy snaked it. Keep in mind, this had nothing to do with her toilet. It was crap from the rest of the building. She was unlucky enough to be the person closest to the line collapse. When it happened again, she called again. They called in a real plumber who said that the tree roots had clogged the line and the line likely collapsed. What did management do? Nothing.
They are the worst. When she moved in, there was animal piss all over the curtains and furniture. She complained and someone came in and sprayed febreeze all over everything to cover up the smell… no cleaning, no replacement. She scrubbed for weeks to get it out. Go 15 yards behind her back door and it is covered in drug paraphernalia. This place is a dump.
Don’t be fooled by the clubhouse or the warm greeting you get when you look at this place. Once they have you under a lease, they turn their back… unless you are parked in a wrong space (not enough parking for tenants) then they tow your car. And when you move out, they will nickel and dime you for everything… including damage that was there when you moved in. Check with local health department to see what outcome was of their investigation of this place. Don’t take Wendy’s word for it.
Great place to live if your kid is majoring in plumbing, fecal studies or likes to take in transient drug users.
