Statehouse Lane

I stayed in Statehouse Lane this year as OSU leased it out for sophomores, and my experience was not great for “luxury living”. At the beginning of the year, our AC went out multiple times during the hot months and our thermostat would read at 80°+ for multiple days in a row. Maintenance did their best, but it was ridiculous in the first place. We also had MULTIPLE issues with our laundry unit. The washer broke a few times and they had to completely replace our washer and dryer. The washer also would have problems draining and laundry would be a whole day process as our laundry would come out soaked. Early into spring semester, our kitchen sink started to leak excessively; it took maintenance TWO HOURS to come and fix it, and they simply shut it off for the night and fixed it the next day. They changed the wifi halfway through the year and it worked half of the time, which would often lead to my suite mates and I having to go to campus or other places simply to do work. There was so much water damage to the drawers when we moved in, and our freezer was missing a door and the ice machine was disgusting. I’m giving Statehouse two stars as I will say, the front desk staff and maintenance were extremely friendly, especially Nick (front desk) and CJ and his coworker (maintenance). I made it through the year because for a dorm, it was nice and a definite upgrade. However, I would NEVER pay the excessive rent to live here.

They clearly do not care about resident safety, we have had a string of break ins in the garage into peoples cars and now tonight mine was broken into. They keep saying they have people watching but whoever was standing there basically just seemed unbothered when I told him my car had been broken into and started telling me things I already knew. Not to mention the wifi issues as well, switching to a new service halfway through the year and now it goes out 3-4 times a day and they have been “fixing” it for for 5-6 months. The only thing they did was slide us 1 free pizza for 7 people to try to apologize for the wifi. At the beginning of the year they also took 3 months to fix our ac/heat and kept telling us they were trying to figure out “permits” when finally after 3 months, one guy came out and replaced one tiny part. This is getting absolutely out of hand and it seems like they have not been trying to help us out at all.
