    I went up the other day to have a nosey peep through the wondows... first of all I got all excited when i saw them... then realised I was looking at the River aprtmnts!

    So I wandered over to Rye and frankly was a teeny bit disappointed...? I suppose I'm happy, I got a bed, a roof, a toilet (I dont mind sharing with someone else) etc etc...

    But can someone tell me what they're really like?? My boyfriend is in River so I might just mosey on over there and squat during the day

    (squatting sounds so rude...):p

    Ah they're not great I'll admit but it really does depend who you're living with. If you room mates are clean and everyone looks after the place and keeps it in order then you'll be grand.

    TBH, I've never lived on campus, but I know people who have lived in all three complexes.

    Generally, the reviews were mixed an all three, leading me to believe it has alot to do with who you live with.

    Looks like something out of the Soviet Union to be honest, I try avoid looking at Rye Hall. The apartments themselves are fine.

    Ahh firsties, you're so impressionable. I had a house in River for first year, moved off campus for the next three years. It's down more to the people you live with than the actual place you live, whether on campus or off.

    Not so much the toilet seat up, but pretty much everything else on your list bugs the crap out of me. But hey, you've got a voice and as long as the folks you're sharing with are grand enough you either won't have to deal with those issues or you'll be able to change their ways to keep the harmony. Welcome to living with other people ;)
