When we were attending college, we would go to Campus Bar & Grill every Sunday for burgers and fries. There is an upstairs patio that is perfect to enjoy a beverage on a sunny day!

Another surprise! miscellaneous fee with no description. The kitchen sink is atrocious and impossible to clean (all the more to charge you for ). When I moved out I got a 400$ cleaning fee with the description: cabinet fronts, bottoms and drawers- clean (what does this mean). Way too expensive to be so trashy- it's great for those of you with a high budget but also want to live in a sewer. The quarters is the same price with none of the issues I mentioned.

I've lived here for 5 years…read more The good: My room was in good condition when I arrived, just a little bit of dust here and there. The walls weren't that thin imo, I was able to play music from my speakers in my room without hearing it in the next. The pool, fitness center, study room and package room are all very nice. The shuttle is super convenient and almost always on time. The staff are reasonable and there's always a spot for me to park. Maintenance is quick to fix any problems that I have (the managers that were in charge during the 2023 review were both fired and replaced). The rent is cheeeap, you probably won't find a better package deal with utilities than this in Columbia. The bad: The rooms feel much smaller once you've moved in, mine practically feels like living in a closet now. The awful vinyl blinds for the windows and doors might as well be made of sand, because they disintegrated in under a month of use (and I was charged for replacements on all of them!). I would personally recommend taking down the ones provided and putting up your own, just to avoid damaging them so you get your deposit back. I had phorid flies in my room every summer no matter what I did (I suspect that having the dumpsters in close proximity to the units is a factor). The gigantic windows in every unit both let my room heat up into the 75-80 degree range during the day in the summer, and similarly quite cold in the winter, and the AC vent was installed backwards and directly over said gigantic window. Couches and loveseats in the common room, as well as the older chairs they provided for bedrooms, are made of the worst pleather imaginable, they might as well have been made from skinned Nerf footballs. They peel with normal wear and tear. Was also charged to replace these. The table and the drawers provided all have a ridged surface on them, making it impossible to write on them without a mat. Closet shelves are poorly secured to the walls, and the pegs came out when I put stuff on them. The tracks for my sliding doors in my closet were messed up and the door wouldn't slide, maintenance at least took the doors out for me. Kitchen is extremely poorly ventilated, and any cooking will suffocate every single bedroom and set off every smoke alarm in the unit, even with both the balcony and front door open. Common room has an injurious head-level ceiling lamp, the most outdated non-CRT TV they could find, and more ridged tables. Overall, I'd recommend Campus Lodge if you're looking for a student apartment, this was a direct upgrade from my dorm in Hudson at Mizzou for sure. It's not the greatest, but it held up for my whole undergrad program.

Our daughter graduated in December 2019. She lived at University Place Apartment before, during and…read moreafter the renovations. This was the perfect place for her. It's basically across the street from the University. As parents we love that she had assigned parking on the premises , that always had bright lights on at night. Whenever she needed the maintenance department to take care of anything which wasn't often, they made sure it was taken care of. Whenever I went to visit her, Doug the office manager always engaged in conversation and I left feeling that our daughter made the right choice. We were 14 hours away and we always felt a since of security with her living at University Place Apartments.

Since enough time has passed, I think it's about time I leave my review to help others. DO NOT LIVE…read moreHERE. I thought U-Place was going to be a great option because it was affordable and close to both downtown and campus. For some context, my lease started the summer after my freshman year at Mizzou, and I stayed in Como to gain residency. I am originally from Wisconsin. The weekend I moved in, my boyfriend came to help me get settled. Upon move-in, the condition of the apartment was disgusting. It did not look clean at all. There was grease caked onto the walls in the kitchen, the vents were covered in dust, and the window in my bedroom was decaying and duct-taped shut. During the first weekend, I saw multiple roaches in the kitchen and bathroom area. I immediately emailed management and asked them to send an exterminator. I also sent them a picture of a roach, and they assured me that it was only a waterbug. However, a waterbug is a type of roach. They replied saying an exterminator was scheduled and said, "The previous tenant did not make us aware of this issue." In the meantime, I bought my own roach traps to set up. While installing them, I found previous roach traps that I had not placed myself, which immediately raised some alarms. Prior to the exterminator coming, the following weekend after I moved in, my parents drove down from Wisconsin to bring me some more belongings and help me get settled. They, too, were horrified by the condition of the apartment. They immediately spent over $200 on cleaning supplies, and my mom and I spent two full days scrubbing every wall, vent, baseboard, etc. During this process, we found several more roaches of all sizes. We found a few in the shower, and at that point, I decided to shower at my gym for the time being. My parents were concerned for my safety and went to management themselves to talk to Chris and Doug. They said they would send cleaners in again and assured my parents that they would take the proper measures to help solve the problem. Doug also told my father that the building was likely getting torn down. This raised even more concerns as to whether meaningful improvements had actually been made or would be made. My mom was concerned and contacted a local attorney to seek advice. He told me to reach out to Columbia Neighborhood Services and file a report. Prior to the exterminator coming, I also did an internet deep dive and found Reddit posts and reviews dating back to 2005 stating that University Place had roaches. Finally, the Monday after my parents left, the exterminator and maintenance guy came into our unit to service it. I had many questions for them, and as they answered, I noticed several discrepancies. I asked, "Can roaches travel from unit to unit?" They both replied that no, that shouldn't happen. However, about ten minutes later, they explained that in the past they had situations where they would spray one unit and the roaches would migrate to the unit next door. Then they would spray that unit, and the roaches would go back to the original one. They also blamed the problem on the fact that a lot of foreign exchange students live in the building. They said they were used to conditions much worse and that they didn't understand that these students had the right to contact management to send in an exterminator because they thought they were going to get in trouble. If that is the case, shouldn't they be educating these foreign students about their rights and making sure they know they can report these issues? Lastly, the maintenance guy and exterminator said that they were servicing seven other units that day. The exterminator also said that there was no set extermination plan, but that he usually comes around 20 times a year as needed. I asked if our unit had been serviced in the past. They said definitely not, and that if it had been serviced, it had been well over five years ago. This conversation felt very off to me. They were overly friendly, and I personally felt like I was being played for a fool because of my young age. After they left, Columbia Neighborhood Services contacted me back. They explained that they had gotten reports from University Place previously and had talked to management. They said management had informed them that my unit had actually been serviced two months prior to me moving in in May. This was the final straw for me, as I now felt that multiple U-Place staff members had lied to me. I wrote a letter requesting termination of my lease and threatened legal action if necessary. Thankfully, I was able to find new housing and get out of my lease. This whole entire situation caused me extreme stress, depression, and anxiety. I cried myself to sleep at night. I was scared to go to bed, and during the two weeks I was there, I often only slept around four hours each night. I was scared to use the bathroom, and I ended with medical issues pertaining to my bladder.

We've lived here since September 2021. The apartment complex is safe. Parking could be better as…read moreother residents in other buildings as well as their guests tend to park where other residents are suppose to park leaving the residents in a different building to park in the guest parking lot which I know the manager of the property is trying to correct & resolve this issue which overcrowding of the parking lot tends to happen when management & maintenance men are gone for the day. Not to mention on the weekends into Sunday things are pretty crowded as well as being loud but tend to get quiet before 10pm. If we've had any maintenance issues management calls before hand to see if we were home if we wasn't they'd ask if it would be okay for maintenance to enter without us being home. Our maintenance issues would be fixed quickly or when maintenance could get to it as quick as they can as there is only two at the moment. The clubhouse is amazing & also has a tanning bed (located on the top level) and on the lower level is the laundry / gym which is pretty spacious. They have restrooms located in the top & bottom of the clubhouse. They do have computers as well as a printer for residents to use. Their is a dog park also which our dog loves playing in the dog park with our kids. It's about a medium sized area with Ramps & other agility stuff for dogs. Fast Restaurants are nearby like Pizza Hut, KFC, steak & shake, & chipotle. Michael's & Simmons bank is nearby. During winter months when we couldn't get out or was sick we ordered what we needed through Instacart which was quick & the most we had to wait for someone to deliver was 25/30 mins. Everyone that we've met are very nice & respectful of others. Almost all that we've met here have allowed me to pet their dogs & have allowed our kids to pet their dogs as well. A lot of residents have dogs (a couple of different breeds & if our kids ask questions about their dogs breed the owners are kind to tell our kids more information even when we educate our kids more on whichever dog they are wanting to learn more about. Would recommend to others to put their application in for rent.

I really like Tiger Village…read more My husband and I lived in a decent sized apartment just off campus when we first moved the Columbia. The price was nice but the neighbors were not. We were thrilled to find that Tiger Village was so much newer and cleaner, but without costing way more money. The clubhouse has washers and dryers, exercise equipment, a small computer lab, a pretty nice lounge area, and tanning booth. There's also a pool and a fenced-in area for dogs. There are lots of pets here, so they also have stations around the property so pet owners can clean up after their dogs use the bathroom. I would rate it higher, but the apartments can be a little bit cramped. The kitchen doesn't have a ton of storage or counter space. The apartments are also really narrow, which makes circulation a problem. The inside apartments are beautifully insulated during the winter months, but during the summer it gets too hot. The air conditioner is a window unit in the living room and doesn't reach the bedroom at all, and the only window is in the bedroom. In the summer we spend a lot of time in the living room. The closet is the entire length of the bedroom though. The management office recently changed. We used to know the guys really well and they recognized us too, so it's a bummer to have new faces, but the new people are nice too.

When you move out, their "billing agent" will send you a stack of dark, blurry photographs to justify an invoice containing hundreds of dollars of charges. To make matters worse, the same pictures that literally show ZERO damage or dirt are used multiple times to justify separate "painting," "trash removal," and "cleaning" charges. It is an unethical SCAM! And for the places where we make out actual paint chips, scratches, or stains, The Quarters completely ignored that these exact conditions were photographed and reported on the move-in inspection report. They are now attempting to bill for literally the exact same paint chips and scratches that we reported and photographed at move-in. They assume that flustered parents and distracted college kids will just pay the ridiculous and unethical bills and move on. Again, BEWARE!!!!!!!

She discovered when she arrived that the heat was no longer working properly. My apartment was 98°. The heat would not stop blowing warm air and I had to flip the breaker off to stop it. I then called an emergency maintenance request and they said that "this is not considered enough of an emergency" for them to come in and fix it. After that I had to come all the way here from home to pick up my cat for a few days so she didn't die from the heat. I also had another issue recently where I had to report about my air conditioning not working properly and my apartment being 80° all day. When I called on a sunday (outside business hours) they had an attitude over the phone about receiving my call on a weekend. Also, as someone who works night shift it is impossible to sleep during the day here. Even on weekends there is noisy construction going on nearly every day and it is rarely quiet. There also are lots of bugs in the units. I live on the top floor and I have yet to go a day without seeing a spider INSIDE. They also advertise lots of nice amenities, however the clubhouse had a water leak over 6 months ago. They said that they were going to "figure this out quickly" and they just now found a contractor to repair this amenity 6 months later. We also received no compensation for this place lacking the amenities advertised (which I know is difficult for them to do but it did take 6 months for them to figure out a plan and take action). Lastly, I pay extra for a covered parking space. Upon move in I was not told which parking space was mine and I just parked in one nearby my unit. I then was nearly towed because of this issue and it being someone else's spot. And then, when I did end up asking which spot I should use I had issues with people parking in the spot that I pay for because they aren't marked well enough. There were at least 10 times this year I had to contact the office to tow someone from my spot. And then, sometimes they would just text the owner of the car and wait for them to move it sometimes causing it to be hours or up until the evening when I could get my spot back. I could honestly go on and on but I think there's enough bad reviews on here. I just wanted to cover a few things other people haven't.

I use to like this school but now it sucks, waaaayyyyy toooooo much writing. Too much writing, I haven't learned absolutely nothing on the last past year and a half because of writing. "Literally nothing", myself and other students communicate and all we talk about is "I will glad when this semester is over".. That's sad!!! When you have lots of students are hurt and complaining about the same thing and the school doesn't do anything, there's a problem. All this school is for is your money., not once this school nor their instructors, faculty nor staff reached out to me nor any of the other students for any of our concerns. "So what that tells you".. ALSO, THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE SINGLE PERSON FROM THIS SCHOOL REACHED OUT TO US ABOUT STUDENTS SUCCESS OR BEING SUCCESSFUL OR HELPING IS BECOME SUCCESSFUL, NO ONE. I had to write a paper, I finished it and turned it in, it got sent back because it says it was done 100% AI, AI detected it and says it was flagged so I had to redo the paper, "I only went to AI for spelling and punctuation and grammar and those such thing", so they asked for the name of my computer, my software it used, the developer and a few other things they mentioned. So I rewrote the paper and turned it in just as it was, didnt care about none of the rest, spelling, grammar, periods, commas, quotations marks, dashes, none of it, just turned it in. They sent it right back and said it detected 100% AI detection again.You can see where I am going with this, so I acted a little foolish you know, so moving alone. Another thing is, the majority of the online classes are Proctor exams, this is the only school that we know of that has this crap. I took an exam an it flagged me because I moved my head several times, my prescription glasses was dark, I looked down too many times, and the lists continues. Proctor exam is when they want you to use your home computer while taking exams while using your cameras from your desktop or laptop during the whole duration of the test. My test was 75 mins, for my midterm and my finals. Ive contacted other schools so I can transfer away from here and each school I contacted responded theirs no way we will do our students like that, the way we do it is, a student can go to the school and take a test if they are having issues with their computers or medical reasons, or some sort of ways they can't be at home to perform their testing. This school sucks, all they care about is money money money. Not once I have experience any success or a successful moment with them, not once.. Not a single joyful class, instructor, just nothing, only thing good is recruiting for school, thats it. ​

If I could go back in time knowing what I know now I would not have lived here at all. First, they are not helpful what so ever when residents report incidents in which they didn't feel safe. The price is outrageous. These are easily the most expensive apartments in all of Columbia. I will admit part of the price you pay for Brookside includes the connivence of it. The buildings come fully furnished, utilities are included in rent, and the locations for all the downtown building are great. Very close to campus and numerous bars and restaurants. However, there are other apartments downtown that are just as nice and much cheaper. You do have to furnish the others, but I recommend finding one you love and that you plan to stay in for 2-3 years and then furnishing them is 100% worth it. Brookside has TERRIBLE customer service. Specifically, the property manager Aimee. She is willing to work with NO ONE regarding ANY issue you may have. Do not expect her to help you out or be flexible for you in any way. Maintenance is very responsive and is the only way Brookside slightly redeems themselves in the customer service department. Last their leases run from ~Aug 3rd to ~July 15th give or take a few days. Bottomline is they make you move out half way through July, but still pay a full months of rent for July. It makes no sense and is absolutely absurd. If they want to end their leases in the middle of July thats fine, but at least prorate rent for that month rather than make their tenants pay a full month of rent. Overall, I do not recommend living in a Brookside building.

Renter's are required to put the electric bill under one of the tenants names or the keys to the apartment will not be given out. We'll that is the policy. This was not the case.
