The Zoom pods and study rooms are great. It can be a little noisy on Telegraph, but the windows are thick enough that it doesn't bother me.

The Laureate is easily the best value in Berkeley. It’s a short walk to campus and they include high-speed Wi-Fi and all utlilities without nickel and diming me!

I think I have horror stories from The Laureate. First, Wendy the property manager who “is supposed to be onsite 9-5 Monday through Friday” is never there so any problem you have, haha it will never get fixed. Weird random people do half-complete maintenance requests, the building is in disarray and disgusting, not to mention if you get a random roommate, you can be living with an assaulter or someone who is way older than you. When you move in, be prepared to get a unit that is never cleaned and has nose droppings on walls, along with bodily fluids on mattresses! Also, the mold problem is insane because I got so sick from the mold in the vents. Overall, do yourself a favor and lease elsewhere. This is a Raj Properties shell corporation and they have no regard for you as a tenant, let alone you as a person.

Oh my lord, where do I even start? Square one management is the worst management to ever rent with. Don't get me started with the small rooms where we are forced to be packed like a can of sardines! I hated living here and don't recommend anyone to even tour here. You are in for nothing but maintenance repairs, random people coming into your apartment, high rent, and terrible management. Save your money and maybe choose a cheaper building that has better management and better rates! Just because its new doesnt mean its worth it.

Do not ever rent here! It is so deceptive and the management are after your money and have no regard for you as a tenant. Worst year ever here. Treated like absolute garbage and small rooms feel like jail cells. Don't know how two people can even live in one room let alone one person. The prices: ABSURD. The maintenance: TERRIBLE. The management: EVEN WORSE. AVOID AVOID AVOID. These price cuts should tell you that you are in for a year of misery! DONT SIGN!!!!!!!!!!!
