auburn alabama freshman blasts state of college housing
July 20th, 2009 -- Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »On this cold day John Tibbets, a University Of Auburn Freshman, is an angry young man. The Psychology major is riling against the conditions of apartments in Auburn Alabama, some of which he described as “decrepit and sorely lacking in any form of management or political will”.
After staying in several apartments in Auburn AL, Tibbets declares that “it is either you can’t get to sleep because some frat-rats are using the next apartment to party, or there’s an aspiring rock star using his unit as a recording studio. Either way, you cant sleep or study”.
Complaining to the management doesn’t help a bit says Tibbets. “I have put in my informal and formal complaints but there was never any action taken. Worse, he has been switching from apartment to apartment complex with the same experience term after term “it’s like ground-hog day- the movie, except instead of waking up in the same bed and to the same bad day, I’m waking up in another bad apartment semester after semester”.
Sick of being snubbed and bullied by management and other “party-students”, Tibbets set out to find the best student apartments in Auburn Alabama and create an honest-to-goodness website that addresses needs of “non-party students “. You know… the kind of student that actually wants to graduate.
The site is created for students like Tibbets. That is, for those who want to live in an environment where it is conducive to studying and getting eight good hours of sleep “without rap music scaring us awake everyday”.
Marta Alves, another Auburn university freshman says it’s a great idea - a student reviewing student apartments, giving the skinny on what your stay will actually be like”.
