Yugo Apex College Station

Not sure where to start, but I'll just leave my most recent grievance. To preface, the starting price for rent at the Standard is set at hundreds of dollars above the average College Station rent price. Most recently, management has decided to change the trash policy so that residents have to dispose of EVERY cardboard box themselves, directly at the dumpster. The nearest dumpster is outside the garage on the first floor of the building. So instead of having staff collect the boxes from each floor, or allowing residents to dispose of boxes in the trash disposal on each floor, they want residents to break their boxes down, lug their own loose trash down and outside in the cold and directly to the stinky dumpster. Apparently all the rent and fees that I pay don't 100% cover garbage disposal. Apparently when the garbage disposal is agreed upon in the lease, the Standard reserves the right to change policies as they feel. Regarding the 5 star reviews, the management has multiple 5 star reviews from employees. This is against Google's terms of service and misleading.

I have lived here for over a year. This place gets more hate than it deserves, its not amazing but it has a great location to campus and northgate, decent amenities, and the apartment units aren't too bad (compared to nearby alternatives). The main issues that you would face living here: Getting your packages takes a while as the front desk has to organize them first and then notify you, The gym equipment often breaks because of the braindead freshman who decide to use the apartment gym as a playground, the pool is on the roof which is cool but usually is gross. Overall not bad for a college campus apartment. I would recommend living in a top floor, everything bad such as flooding and mold seems to happen to people who live near the first floor.
