Awful, someone painted the trashy "hardwood" floors blue. But it was a good conversation piece

$350 a month on the beach. It was a dump with a good view.

Luckily I never have had the pleasure of apartment living.

Went from home to dorm to Greek house and back home for 6 months. Then I moved into a house that was owned by room mate. Then I bought my own house.

Mine wasn't bad, but $1285/mo 1br, 1ba and 1 covered spot (California) when we had 2 cars and we were 20 & 18 (Now 30 & 28, still together 10 yrs later).

Good thing all you fine tax payers covered my BAH and I actually banked money

In tigerland-early 80's. Next to a big field so I got mice coming in all the time. Fed them cheese and the back breaker traps for months.

$450 for 2 bedroom in Lafayette. Decent, not great but not horrible. We had 22 people spend the night during Mardi Gras.

Wasps got in through the window during the day. I had to kill those bastards when I got home from work.

Mine was furnished, so that says a lot. But in retrospect, with who I was with, the neighbors and the area, good memories for sure.

This is true. But you’re also old as shite while everyone in your peer group is out of school.




Old as shite? 23? Lulz. What happens actually, you have a plethora of hot girls looking for their mate. Maybe they want to be career women, maybe not. Regardless, I gave little fricks about those in my "peer group". I enjoyed my time in the military. There's no clock that dictates success or happiness, so live your life son and stop worrying about other people.

Mine was crappy, but not that bad. I just had sucky neighbors. Next door was an old couple that called the office every time I turned the TV on. Above me was a rent-a-cop security guard.

The dude woke me up at 7 on a Saturday morning griping about two beer cans left on the steps, that I wasn’t in compliance with some city code. I just shut the door on him and me and the roommate left a case of empties by his door the next night.

I shared a 1 bedroom with 3 dudes....weekends were horrible. First one back with any action won out...the other two had to make due. After a few weeks the chicks started getting trashy bc they were the easiest to get back. By the end of the lease it was pretty bad.

Also, we'd have madden playoffs that resulted in more fights than resulted in broken furniture, broken window(patched with a pizza box wrapped in a trash bag and duct tape), and holes in the walls.

I remember my mom came over unannounced and was not to impressed with how we lived. Keg in fridge, a bed in the den next to the sofa, and nothing to eat but Ramen and 5/$1.00 mac and cheese.

It snowed and I woke up with snow in my bed. It was bad. I loved college.

Most all the apts I lived in were fine.....in Tigerland on Earl Gross, the old Stanford Arms, A brand new place (in 1984) off Brightside, a house on Violet St.....I did live in a 1 br on Iowa St. by myself one summer and the burglar bars were pried off and my TV stolen. They came back a week later for my stereo but I was there. It was some little kid, although I'm sure the older ones were somewhere waiting for the all clear.My landlord was some rich lady and actually had the cops stake out the place from the empty apt under me. Never caught anyone though. I got out of that place quick.

My first one, which was in 2016-2017, wasn’t that bad and the memories my roommates and I made in that apartment will stay with us for a lifetime

Never lived in a bad apartment, they've just been rough areas.

One was on Gardere when that neighborhood set a record for homicides. I got spooked after a couple of particularly bad weeks once, and a girl I brought over almost started crying when she laid in my bed and found my .357 magnum behind the pillow.

One was right next door to a section 8 complex. There was a hodge-podge wood and barbed-wire fence between the structures, and half of their windows were boarded up.

In college, think something like the blox.

Post college, it was actually pretty nice.
