<p>Well BerkeleyHopeful has lived there. I wouldn’t take his opinion as hearsay… I’ve visited Bowles several times and the walking uphill part is such a big hassle… Although the room is bigger, I think it’s much dirtier than the units (and do remember you’re paying more for Bowles; hence the bigger size). </p>
<p>It seems like Bowles was not managed that well and everything just go downhill from there. People who come in there don’t care at all about Bowles, so it’s pretty worn down (restrooms, hall way). Regarding security… it is like what BerkeleyHopeful said… we literally walked into the building and the security monitor just looked at us then looked back down to her laptop. It was so hilarious.</p>
<p>Again, I think you’ll enjoy Bowles if you’re entering it with a positive attitude.</p>
