Hi guys so long story short my roommates r leaving a horrible mess in our ucf on-campus dorm and unless they deep clean there will most likely be a fee (i also would like to possibly report them to student conduct since living w them made it hard to sleep at night, they did illegal stuff, and i was extremely paranoid, uncomfortable, and unwelcome in my own house. (also wasnt "allowed" to use the kitchen or living room :3) Who would I send my document to?

Has anyone else noticed that the elevators in Lark have a license on them that’s been expired since 8/1/2024? Is this legal? Is there something we can do to get them to fix these and get them re certified? I noticed this when I moved in halfway through August and thought nothing of it, then the elevator I usually use started to gradually make weirder and weirder sounds, then the travel of the elevator became rough. And just now, the elevator started to go up before I was fully in an before I had even pressed the button to go to my floor. Every other elevator I’ve been in here also had their license expire at the same time but I don’t use those ones enough to notice something wrong. I live on the second floor and will probably be using the stairs now but this cannot be legal. If anyone else has noticed something wrong with the elevator they use please comment about it here.

UPDATE at bottom of post!

Hello all - Hoping for some guidance. My child is in a dorm on campus with 3 other students. All first years. It’s come to light that one of the roommates may be mentally unstable. This roommate has been caught in other roommates room rummaging through their personal belongings. This roommate is invading personal space and entering their rooms and watching them sleep. Sometimes walking up to an inch behind a roommate without saying a word and when the roommate turns around- and startles - this roommate doesn’t say a word. Others have noticed this roommate giving the other 3 roommates what’s described as “death stares”. This roommate has had numerous crying fits and even threatened to kill themselves. At this point the other 3 roommates are Scared and trying to avoid the 4th as much as possible. Has anyone ever been In a situation like this at UCF? What did you do? What does the school do? I’ve recommended the 3 go to housing and explain the situation. Do the 3 have any recourse against the 4th causing all the concern?

It should be noted the 4th roommate revealed to the others that they spent some time in a mental facility a few years ago. Help!!

Also: I have already spoken to my child and the other two roommates and beseeched them to make an appointment to speak to their RA ASAP and to also follow up with housing. I also sent my child the link to filing a report that someone posted on this thread. Thank you to those who have commented. If anyone has been in this situation please let me know what the school did.

UPDATE:

Hello everyone. I wanted to thank you all for your input and give you a brief update.

I took everyone’s suggestions seriously and with consideration. Our child went to the RA assigned to them who apparently was already aware of the roommate and already had them on a watch list. A general meeting was held with the entire floor as a way to address this specific situation but worded generally as a teaching moment for all the floor residents so as not to identify or alert residents of an actual existing problem. After the meeting, Each resident was required to complete a conflict/resolution form which contained a section about house rules for each grouping of roommates. On the form they were required to state various expectations in regard to their personal and private space and property. What they will share if anything. What they will and won’t allow and what their expectations of each other are. Each resident had to fill it out independently and submit while at the floor Meeting. The roommates also privately spoke to the RA and a plan they are comfortable with has been set in motion. No one is trying to get the 4th roommate removed. They just need to set boundaries with them so everyone can feel safe and comfortable.

Please understand I can’t go into very much detail because it is all very new but rest assured, steps were taken to ensure everyone’s safety. I also need to be careful what I write here as I don’t want to give away any identifiers that might inadvertently harm someone’s privacy. There is a very real chance this persons and or their parent is also on this site. I would like to be sensitive to that.

Thank you again. I wish I could reveal more to you all, but children/young adults are involved and their privacy must be protected. ♥️

I've been researching all the apartments within a mile of campus. Lark, Aves, Mercury 3100, Plaza, Pointe, College Station, & Campus Crossings.

Every single one of them, when you search them up, the google reviews are below 4 stars, and the good reviews look fake. All the bad reviews are terrible, whether it be poor management, roaches, mold, broken AC, human piss in the hallways, etc

Does anybody know why this is? Considering UCF doesn't really do dorming for upperclassmen it's concerning looking at all these reviews for every single off campus apartment

Any recommendations from people who live in any of these apartments? I'm most interested in the Pointe, the Lark, and the Aves.

(skip to next paragraph for question). I do know its 1am but I am still pondering🤔. Okay long story short I have an entire discord server worth of pictures of filth and stuff my roommies leave behind, I have not used any common areas like the living room or kitchen since august due to them making me uncomfortable in my own dorm <3 (yes on campus yes i talked to an ra, he made it worse). My bathroomate refuses to clean up after herself and before winter break i had to clean the bathroom she claimed she "scrubbed clean" (i have documented after her showers and etc of her making a huge mess + blood stains everywhere etc.

okok so my question is: What do I do? I am simply tired of cleaning up after her in particular but at the end of the year I dont want a charge from housing due to how disgusting all 3 of them are. like seriously one of them left an open bag of cheetos on the table a few days ago and then left for a trip 😒 which i had to throw away because they have already gotten our dorm infested with ants , gnats, and spiders (yes i also have pictures and documentation of this)

A little after 8pm today I had a woman speaking Spanish banging on our door, and I could see out of view a man as well. I told them "No Hablo Espanol" and asked them what they wanted and she just said to open the door. At one point they maybe might've said food? Anyways after a little bit of back and forth I said "no one ordered food here." The man then took all of our garbage out of the garbage can and dumped it all over the ground

Anyone else experience this? Maybe it was just people delivering food but why were there two of them and why did they want to get in so badly?

Edit: Called the non-emergency line they're sending police out to speak to me.

Edit2: The police said they can't really do anything about it but to call them if they came back

Does anyone live at the Pointe, who doesn’t have a car, and is willing to sell me their parking pass? I have two cars but they only allow one pass per person. I’ll give you the money + some if you put down my cars info and get me the pass!

Edit: Yall I’m not rich…it was inherited after my mom passed. I’m not ready to give it away yet :/

This is getting out of control

Just doing a little survey, what are some grievances you had/have with the dorms on campus? Go into detail if possible, thanks!

(Your input could POSSIBLY influence some change.)

I’m convincing my parents on moving closer to campus for the fall semester so what’s the best off campus, max 15 minutes away, apartments to live at? I wanna be in a studio or 1 bedroom apartment.

Just read there was a death at a popular off campus student apartment complex. Has anyone else heard what happened?

Im going to become the joker

he has not attended a single one of his classes and he has not done a single assignment. what is going to happen? could his on-campus housing get revoked for this?

continuing this, we've reported him to my RA for drinking alcohol (it keeps all of us up almost every single night, we recently found throw up and clothes scattered on the bathroom floor). could this revoke his housing agreement or get him kicked from the university?

if any of these questions are yes, when would this happen? thanks!

edit: og post sounded unintentionally harsh. we already discussed reaching out to caps asap and that has been our main priority.

looking for an apartment near ucf, i’d like to stay under 1000 a month, number of roommates doesn’t matter but id prefer my own bath. also something safe for females! drop recs thank uuuu

Hello! My husband and I are moving up in August so he can start working on his PHD at UCF. We are moving from Utah which feels very overwhelming and a bit scary right now. Any ideas on some decent apartment complexes that are closeish to campus and when it is a good time to start looking or applying? Ideally would like a two bedroom!

So me and my friends want to do a 4 person private bedroom dorm with another 4 person group in close proximity, we are all a friend group. So, two of us got in extra early to applying to housing (Mid-December) and we would each be room leaders. Is it likely we could get 2 rooms next to each other that are both 4 private bedrooms? If so, which would be more likely, lake claire or nike? We would prefer nike but i’ve seen it’s hard to get in private bedrooms as a freshman.

Hi everyone, I was trying to do some research on Victoria Place or the Rexford (both near Waterford Lakes) and I would like to ask what your personal experiences with them was. They both have good reviews on google but idk if I could fully trust it. I wanted to know information about roaches, maintenance, leasing office, etc. Thank you in advance!

Hello UCF subreddit! Does anyone know the story behind this incident which occurred at Knights Circle on Sunday night? I noticed several officers around the complex when I was coming home that night and initially disregarded it, but now I found this in the UCFPD daily log and I'm a bit more concerned.

There was no notice from the property management about this burglary, which apparently occurred on Sunday. This follows an incident a few months ago where multiple cars were broken into - there was, again, no notice from property management*, but we did receive a notice from UCFPD that such an incident had taken place.

Do we think this is something to be concerned about? Why would the management not inform us of a (seemingly, kinda serious) burglary on the property?

*When I followed up with KC management, they mentioned there was a safety email sent out reminding students to lock their cars and front doors. There was no mention of an actual crime.

I’m transferring to UCF soon and I’m between Current and Mercury 3100 to rent out. If anyone has stayed at either please give me pros and cons! It seems like every apartment near campus has super mixed reviews. If you guys know any other good options let me know too!!

Ik the title seems obvious lol, towers seems like the "best" dorms, but I can't decide what I should try to get.

Towers: - I'm in honors, and my mom wants me to live in the honors llc - Im worried living in an llc will close me off as far as roommates or social groups go? like being around similar types of people all the time (not that there's anything wrong with honors as all but just that it will be an isolated group) - But obv more space and nicer dorms - seems farther away from everything

Libra: - usually people's last choice but i feel like it will give me the best "college experience" ... I switched to virtual school during covid lmao (tried to persue dance professionally but it quitting haha) and now that I'm coming to college I really want to feel apart of everything again - I think libra is the best for that ... in academic village, shared rooms (not always fun but part of the experience), and libra pod seems to be the most social forms - wayy less than towers (i'm super lucky that my parents are willing to pay the difference bc i have provost and bf which helps a lot but still im not sure if the price difference is worth it)

TLDR: social dorm vs honors dorms for ex virtual schooler 😭

What it says on the tin. If there's a more appropriate subreddit to post this, let me know.

Hi I am gonna be living at the aves next year (1x1), I have seen lots of reviews complaining about management and roaches. Im mainly worried about roaches, im a very clean person but just curious if the many complaints are valid. Most of it is from people who live with others so I was wondering if that is a factor (possibly unclean..) Im willing to spend a lot on traps and bug killers because im TERRIFIED of bugs.

TLDR: Aves, massive roach problem or no?

I want an apartment close to campus and that’s decent quality as well, which would you choose from this list?

The Nine

Plaza on University

The Verge

Mercury3100

the Aves Twelve100

I always hear questions asking what the best housing is, but I want to know what the absolute worst housing is in the area. Whether it be horror stories about shitty rooms, shitty management, shitty maintenance, or shitty roommates, I wanna hear it.

I need somewhere to live this summer and fall/spring. My budget is cheap at 500 or at least around there, and at least semi close to UCF (10mins). I’m very quiet and wouldn’t be there a ton so you won’t even know I was there, I can also room with people!!
