Gross apartments. Lots of bugs and they are not friendly to international students!!
* Posting this here so people can see it regarding Family and Graduate Housing at UGA * This is the first one star review I have written. Living at University of Georgia Graduate and Family Housing was a very poor experience. A few days after moving into my unit on Rogers Road, I went to my kitchen at around 11 PM to find roaches (about 10+) running from the light. I was shocked as the unit was spotless of food and I had only been there for a few nights. I had to stay in a hotel and contacted the housing office immediately. Because my unit was not livable with the roach infestation which I discovered was in the kitchen and bedroom, I asked if I could receive a rent credit because I was paying for both rent and a hotel. My emails were ignored. Bi-weekly following the initial night of roach discovery, a pest specialist would come to my unit and spray. During one such occasion, a housing maintenance woman came to my unit and looked closely at my walls in my bedroom. I asked: "what are you looking for?" She said: "the people who lived in your unit before you were disgusting. They liked to keep this room so humid that mold grew on all the walls, we scrubbed and scrubbed this wall but I was trying to see if the mold was still there." I had already had a bad feeling about the former tenants as a thick yellow liquid began to drip near the stove when I would cook and the area heated up. Obviously, this was all disturbing and nasty. I continued to put in maintenance requests but was told by the specialists "once there is an infestation - there is pretty much nothing you can do - and you don't know how your neighbors are living so the roaches may be primarily in their unit and coming to visit yours". Over the winter months, the roach situation calmed down simply because they were hibernating. Naively, I thought they were gone for good and decided I could manage to stay in my unit to avoid dealing with another move. Then, I received an email from Family and Graduate Housing stating that all residents of some of the buildings had to move out and be reassigned to other units. This was a very big inconvenience and I was upset at not being told about this prior to moving in. Also, my friends from other units in Graduate Housing had horror stories of their own (ants, small black bugs, spiders, etc.) and I did not want to test my luck on another awful unit provided by Graduate Housing. After getting over my annoyance and deciding that I would defiantly move out rather than move units, Spring hit and the roaches were back. I found alternative housing immediately and asked Graduate Housing if I could have an earlier move out date because I felt the conditions were unacceptable and I wanted to move as soon as possible. I was sent standardized emails stating "Good Morning! Your move out date is scheduled for May 15th! Thanks!". All in all, avoid Family and Graduate Housing at all costs.
