    Gateway seems far better. Size wise the rooms are near enough to apartments around the city (excluding more recent and premium places). The ones I've seen in Gateway have a reasonably sized living / kitchen area, while Campus Res looks like prison, has small rooms, small kitchen, small bathroom, and depressing common rooms. Also seems to be far more restriction on campus. From an observer's point of view, the so-called broadband seems to be one of the worst things in Gateway.

    Have you seen any of campus other than larkfield. Ive been in college park superior for the past few years and the place is like a hotel. Very plain but spacious and clean. What more can you ask for. In my opinion the only thing Gat3way and similar off campus accomadation has over Campus is the freedom to throw parties and bring people back after 12.

    monument you are obviously a very wise person which makes your statement all the more surprising and ridiculous.

    Sorry, yes, I meant to add the there is better accommodation on Campus, but first years are most likely to send to the prison-like rooms (ie most of those considering DCU next year).

    I've lived there the last two years and its grand place to live. Bit of a walk from campus but cheap rent compared to shanowen and campus. The apartments are nice. Was in block A this year really nice.

    The internet isn't great at times and lacks a social scene. Also dealing with managment can be slow.

    Overall tho not nearly as bad as riemann would like you to believe:rolleyes:

    Easy for you to say, I was the one trying to deal with that scary girl! :eek:

    What I want to know is, should we return the key without securing the desposit. Quite frankly, I think it will be a fight to get my money back this year. It took a lot of calls last year before they finally paid up and that's only because of my excellent cleaning skills! :D

    I would love to know what other tenants intend to do. I'm sorry we can't go tomorrow to meet with them. Do you know anyone who will be there tomorrow?

    Sincerely, Mommie Dearest
