<p>Hi Guys!
I am an international transfer and for what it seems, getting an on-campus housing contract is pretty impossible for transfers!
I would like to know if anyone has ever experienced living at Dobie Apartments?What would be your recommendations and what are the againsts about it? It looked very clean,reasonable prices and good amanities too!
Please sorry for opening a thread about it,but I am kind of desperate!</p>
<p>Never lived there, but I had a lot of friends that lived there and I slept there a lot of nights at friends’ place. It is the best thing you can get for a dorm! Make sure you get a suite though. A couple friends had a small room that was just a typical dorm room, while some had a suite with 2 bedrooms sharing a common living room.</p>
<p>I didn’t live there either, but it was pretty nice the times I went there. The elevators weren’t dirty like many of the elevators in West Campus can be. I have heard though that there can be a long wait for elevators if you are one of the higher floors.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the replies guys!
I think I will try a contract with them ASAP!</p>
<p>It was okay. Parking garage sucks, you will come up with scratches. They cram so many people in there that cars cannot fit and if they do its like sardines. The guard at the front is annoying and the staff gives you misleading info sometimes. For instance, everyone gave me the okay to have a guest over during new years break cause I was staying in Austin and I had my friend over that whole week with no problem, then at 2 am in the morning on New Years when we came back they wouldn’t let us into the dorm (even though they did the whole week)and literally set us out on the curb. So we had to drive around looking for a hotel. ***? Guard got in trouble for it later and the dorm paid us back for the hotel. Point is though everyone sucks at knowing and telling you their policies. Get it in writing when you ask them something.</p>
<p>And internet breaks. Always. And then elevator always crammed. Most of the time I took the stairs. And my RA was useless with solving problems.</p>
