University Commons

This has got to be the worst place you can possibly lived. 1-they are infected with bugs. If you stay on the lower level you will get bugs in your apartment 2-Sarah could not care less about this apartment. She does not listen to residents complaints. 3- if you have car do not thing about staying here- they towed cars often and frequently 4-the loud noise from your neighbors. If you are on a budget this is a horrible place to stay for their price is high.

We really enjoyed everyday life in University Commons. The swimming pool is great, the whole living environment is amazing too, as u can tell from pictures. By the way, the staff are really nice and friendly to my whole family. This is a peaceful and lovely community.

If I could give 0 stars I would, honestly this place is a complete scam. My boyfriend currently lives here as a student and firstly the apartment itself is definitely outdated and falling apart. Secondly he receives a notice telling him on a Monday that he and everyone else has to be moved out by Friday or they’ll receive a $2,000 fine! You could’ve gave a week or two notice that is completely unprofessional. Not only that, the day before check out time everyone is in the process of moving out including us. Keep in mind there are families, friends, etc all here helping the tenants move out and they have the audacity to call the towing company and try to tow everyone without a parking pass. This was obviously planned for more money, what the hell.

No matter how desperate you are, do not live here through University Commons management. My year living here was a nightmare, from them not allowing me to move in the day that was promised, broken fridge upon arrival that was not fixed within the week, broken dishwasher that took two months to fix, the pool being green and unusable for most of the summer, not plowing the parking lot sufficiently in the winter (my car remained stuck for days because of this), front door lock broke which is a major safety concern and it wasn’t fixed until four days later, carpet beetles in the bedrooms upon moving in, ant infestation, and lack of proper insulation in the windows (it would be cold in bedrooms despite running the heat because of this). There were lots more issues that occurred that I do not ha

The quality of place and convenience you get for the price is almost incomparable in Athens, Ohio. As university housing, the Commons offer a neat and tidy, quiet place to live. Everything of note within Athens is within a walkable distance of this place. A free bus service runs at convenient hours. At night, the Ohio University transportation can drop you off nearby - just across the road. Every Sunday there is a free bus service to the nearby Wallmart for your groceries. Which can also be found at a locally owned store about a mile away. The sheer number of international students here offers a great intercultural experience. The staff is super nice, experienced and helpful. Listen to them on what they say. They'll have good advice for you!
