![]() But expect to either walk-in on, be walked-in on, or both with your suitemate at some point. ![]() I used to wish it was closer to Grand River, but after recent events I'm glad it's south of the river.īathroom- They're fine. Right across the street from the Wharton too if you like Broadway stuff (which you should, student tickets are only around $30). Parking passes are expensive but so worth it. ![]() If you get a room facing the forest, it rivals the beauty of North as well. Only places that are a long walk are Brody or South. Location- The only place more mid-campus than Owen is Shaw. Even if you don't have a meal plan, the Spartys is very convenient. Shockingly I only ever had to wait for a dryer in the laundry room once. I never used the kitchen, it was easy enough to cook in the dorm rooms (even if you're not supposed to). Other than Brody, it feels like one of the newer cleaner buildings from the lobby. Highly suggest bringing your own lights.īuilding- I love Owen as a building. If you don't decorate however, the rooms can feel a bit prison-y. Only time I ever had a real issue with noise when when my suitemate was blasting music, but it's worth noting you can hear everything in the bathroom too. I was lucky enough to get a corner room between a supply closet and my suitemate, the thinnest walls are in the closet in most rooms. The amount of storage is very nice (it's easy to hide things like airfryers too, so long as you're not dumb with it). I put my dresser in the closet and was able to fit a futon along one of the walls, along with a max sized mini fridge/freezer. They seem small, but really it's more than enough space. "Room- I think the rooms are amazing for one person. The reason why I like living here is because I do not have access to car, so as a junior I don't have the option to live off-campus without access to reliable transportation. One might question whether the apartment is worth that. I live in a 4-bedroom economy, and my rent is $809/month per roommate, so that's $3236 per month in total. That was frustrating because other than showering with the door open, there's no way to ventilate the bathroom, so we've resorted to managing(?) the mold by occasionally wiping some bleach on the ceiling and leaving it to dry. Our bathroom may have some mold growing on the ceiling, and when we reported it to facilities they told us to leave the bathroom open (as if we don't except for when we're showering!) and told us it was essentially our problem. The bathrooms have the light switches on the outside of the room, so if you have particularly forgetful or mean-spirited roommates, you will be left in the dark in the bathroom, which is uncomfortable because the bathrooms have no windows or ventilation. I'm being picky, I know, but I'd rather not have to walk outside every time I want to throw out garbage. My only minor gripe about the actual structure of the building is that we don't have a trash chute. We have 2 stairwells and 1 elevator, so the floors are easily accessible. No one knows which apartment set off the alarm, but it is nonetheless somewhat embarrassing.Ĭons: The main building of 1855, 1801, has 5 floors. However, if you do not address your apartment's fire alarm within a minute of it going off, the entire building will be forced to evacuate. Thankfully, there are vents and you can open a window in the living room to counter that. They are very sensitive, so they will go off at the slightest hint of smoke. The only slight thing to note is that for whatever reason, the apartment fire alarms are over the stove. The stove, oven, and refrigerator are all also very nice. The dishwasher is our fifth roommate, it's so reliable, and we're all immeasurably grateful for it. The kitchen has a large island (with outlets, so that's nice for a toaster, air fryer, blender, etc) and there is lots of space around the sink as well-plenty of space for a dish drying rack, if you choose not to take advantage of the dishwasher in the apartment. (The chair is kind of uncomfortable, but that's easily remedied with a pillow.) My room is spacious, it comes with a desk (with a drawer and a small cupboard), a capacious dresser, and a rack to hang my clothes on, as well as a small chair. "Pros: Central heating/cooling, excellent location, access to a variety of dining options covered by the meal plan.
