Car care center like a place to change oil & wash your car? I'd lean towards 1 or 2, but I'm not very finicky about how nice (modern) my place looks. Give me a roof that don't leak, AC, a furnace that works I'm pretty much ok. Enjoy which ever one you pick. If the car care thing lets you change oil and stuff you could save some extra money that way if you don't mind doing that type of stuff yourself.

I'm actually not sure what it all includes, I'll have to ask. I imagine a pressure washer and it does say there is a vacuum.

cstrunk, I think 2 sounds best. Being close to campus + being the cheapest + quieter for random time of day naps.

1 is a couple minutes closer. 1 was fairly quiet when I lived there before; my old apartment was within earshot of the pool so it got rowdy a couple times in the summer but wasn't bad for the most part. The dog park might be a little noisy at times but probably isn't that bad, I think the worst part will be the gate.

I think 2 sounds the best because he can use the car care center for an LS swap on whatever he's driving, because an LS swap is always the answer.

(well, I mean, not really, but it seems to be)

LS swap into the Traverse? I'm in.

wait, why do you need off site storage for 2 but not the others?

and the car thing is nice too, if you think it would get used. I mostly listed things I would pay for vs. consider a nice bonus.

I have a trailer and a four wheeler and a few other things that wouldn't go into a one bedroom apartment. 3 has a single car garage available ($75) that would hold all my stuff and they said I could park my trailer in that corner of the lot for free (I have a trailer lock). But I liked 3 the least. Going to an off-site storage facility probably won't be a whole lot more expensive and would have better security. I may end up selling that stuff anyway.

The car thing is nice, I suppose, I just need to find out what it all entails. I don't clean my car that often (although the vacuum will be nice for dog hair removal).

How good are the windows at blocking sound in apartment 1?

Average at best.

I really, really would like to go to apartment 1 but this dog park right outside has thrown me for a loop. It's something I won't know what it's like until I'm actually living there. It may not be that bad. Or it may be really annoying. I would use it a lot myself, though.

Apartment 2 is cheaper and only a few minutes farther from campus. It has nice barbeque pavilions (won't be able to use my grill on the patio :sad:). Curbside garbage collection 3 days weekly. Club room, business center, and fitness center are 24 hours. December 26th move-in (don't have as much rent overlap) and application fees go towards 1st month's rent is a bonus. But it is 128 sq. ft. smaller than apartment 1.

I think apartment 3 is ruled out. Most expensive, farthest away, not as nice inside, and no patio. The garage and trailer parking are the only parts that stand out about it.

This post was really long, but at least it wasn't about musicals. :jimlad:

Do you all think a thread comparing CF to a prison would get me banned or not?
 
CS, how far are you from the park and what floor would you be on? Because I live above a bar but am on the fifth floor so it isn't super loud. I don't know if you'd be up high enough to make a difference

You hear that noise (a stick breaking)

"I can definitely say there was some squatchy things going on in the woods."

My favorite was how they claimed they knew all these things were Bigfoot facts.

"This deer leg looks broken. See, Bigfoot likes to catch the deer and break it's legs and then eat it. Bigfoot also is shy and afraid of loud noises. But we're going to bang these logs on trees and play really loud techno music because Bigfoot is also inquisitive and will come and check things out, even though he's really shy."

Number 1 sounds like it has the amenities to help with the ladies though. I'm just trying to look out for you as a single dude, Strunk.

I know. It looks like a high end apartment on the inside with the fireplace (glossy granite), dark wood floors (will see dog hair, but easy to clean), new appliances and nice looking counters.

I could always come here to complain about my noisy neighbors, right???

Depends on how far you take it. As long as you stay away from certain subjects I think you'd be fine. It might get shut down though

1st floor, literally right outside of my patio and bedroom window. It's only a two-story complex, but I swore to never move into an upstairs apartment again. **** stairs.

I'd go with number one. ******* love granite countertops.
 
Pants, there were always a number of good-looking women there, too.

I'm sure apartment number 2 would have just as many, if not more, though.

Ah so that doesn't help. And having lots of stairs does give you a nice *** though, and girls love guys with nice *****.
 
cyrocksmypants said:
Mmmmm....that changes things.

But then again, it's not like you're planning on living there long term, right?
Click to expand...

Define long-term. It'll probably be 1.5-2 years minimum until I'm at least done with grad school, or it would depend on what kind of employment I find down the road.
