University Park Apartments

Jul 22nd, 2022

Any amenities that UC writes UPA has are not true. Air conditioning is constantly broken and you do not have any control over temp in your rooms. There is no fitness center, no game rooms, no tv lounge areas either. Elevators break constantly and I cannot remember the last time we had all elevators running. It is nice having two bathrooms and two bedrooms, and the the kitchen and living room work just fine as well. The space is nice and I would still pick UPA over a traditional dorm, just prepare to be sweating every night in your sleep and to be prepared to take the stairs. Also, I lived in North so I had security, but the UPA South has no security and living there is a major safety risk and multiple people have been attacked simply trying to enter their place of residence, and there is nothing UC will do about it. We also do not have printers in our dorm so you have to walk to a location with a printer on campus to do any printing.

Figured I should provide some info I wasn't aware of before living here. Laundry's no longer free. My bathroom flooded while I wasn't even using it in the spring, apparently because another apartment had a clogged toilet. Also, despite the fact this is a dorm, UPA is out of UC police's jurisdiction, so if there's an issue Cincinnati police are called. A/C was turned off in October (which is normal don't get me wrong), but now that we have some warm November days my apartment has been 76 to 80 degrees for 4 days straight. I wouldn't be complaining if it wasn't so expensive to live here. Definitely moving to a real apartment after this semester. 2/5 too much water.
