<p>Hi. Just wondering if anyone had any comments or experience about the Seminole Grand Apts. Our Son is a Sophomore this year and will be living there for the upcoming semester. We went there to sign the lease, and everything looked ok, and it felt like a nice place for him to be, but I just now read alot of negative reviews (unfortunately) about the place, and I'm now kind of worried. I guess I should have read the reviews before signing the lease too. I know my Son is 19 and can pretty much take care of himself, but gunshots and break-ins there?? Jeez, I'm already a worry-wart, now this will top it off!</p>
<p>Seminole Grand is, to be nice, not located in a great place. That’s why you hear a lot of the horror stories about the place.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks.</p>
<p>I thought there was another thread on here about Seminole Grand, so I did some digging. It’s not completely about that complex, but this thread probably has some good info: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/1273739-off-campus-housing.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/1273739-off-campus-housing.html</a></p>
<p>There is also this thread about Seminole Grand from a while ago: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/865624-seminole-grand.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/865624-seminole-grand.html</a></p>
<p>Hope this helps. :)</p>
<p>Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Although I wish I would have looked at all the other reviews first, and talked with a few people about it. But I guess there is good and bad no matter where you go.</p>

Very true. I think it’s relative really… A friend of mine said that his friend moved from Tallahassee to Gainsville because of the crime… and I have another friend that said she moved from Miami to Tallahassee and her insurance payment went down because the crime rate was much lower than it is in Miami. </p>
<p>So which is it, you know?? haha
I think as long as he plays it safe and doesn’t randomly go walking at 12:00 midnight, he’ll be fine.
Best of luck</p>
<p>You’re never going to find a apartment with all positive reviews. Seminole Grand is an alright place. It’s near French Town, the bad area, but Seminole Grand is surrounded by a fence and the entrance is guarded. The biggest problem is that it’s a very very large complex, so you get a big mix of people (and their friends).</p>
