The Triangle

THis article is completely true. Read my latest blog:

During last Winter, residents of Philadelphia suffered the harshest winter yet. People did everything in their power to fight the oppressive Winter cold. In January, temperatures fell between twenty to ten degrees. Residents of Philadelphia prayed that their heating systems worked properly. The warmth of their apartments would welcome them home into heaven.

University Crossings is an off-campus housing assignment at Drexel. Drexel provides housing for students to have proximity to Drexel. University Crossings is run by a full-time professional staff dedicated to offering students "conveniencne." However, nothing could be further from the truth.

Last January, residents experienced one of the cruelest winters inside their apartments. Through the coldness of their hearts, University Crossings allowed the heat to shut off at night. I spent numerous nights freezing to death because the thermostat was at 50 degrees. Allowing the heat to die, when the weather is freezing is inhumane. I am surprised I did not gain pneumonia or any similar afflictions. A myriad of residents were outraged that the heat died. Some nights, I spent shivering in my bed.

So, how did University Crosssings solve this problem? They offered a temporary solution that never solved the long-term problem. Management told residents to flick the heating switch on and off for two minutes for the heat to return. By doing this, the heat could return, or it could disappear. Did this solution really solve the problem? When testing this "scientific" experiment, the heat returned sporadically.

TO this day, University Crossings has yet to offer residents a sincere apology. I wrote this article to inform residents about the perils of living at University Crossings. Hopefully someone will read it and demand that this problem be solved!

I had problems with my toilet. It overflowed about 7 times (and it wasn't our fault, nothing was ever stuck in it). After the thrid time that the problem wasn't fixed and my roommate and I had to clean and fix everything ourselves, I called the Housing Authority and I wrote a letter to Chad and his boss. His boss wrote me back that same day and said they contacted Chad. He came up to fix the toilet himself finally. I've only been living here since Sept. but I will be leaving after this term. I'm on a Drexel floor and I pay too much money for them not to handle my maintenance requests in a timely mannor.

UCROSS HAS NOT ONLY WASTED MY TIME, BUT WASTED MY MONEY!

UCROSS MANAGEMENT IS FRUSTRATING AND RUDE, AND ON TOP OF THAT THE ELEVATORS ARE ALWAYS BROKEN! CANNOT WAIT TO MOVE OUT!!! I DO NOT WANT SUCH A RUDE, MEAN, AND INCONSIDERATE MANAGEMENT TO HAVE MY MONEY! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO LIVE HERE!
