The Social Chico

shuttle through the school was awful (always so late, thus making me miss dinner) The lockers for the mailroom for packages was super helpful and I never had an issue. I felt safe receiving packages because of this feature. Most of the staff in the dining room and cafe were friendly. I got along well with a few of them. Some had an attitude, but I know working a serving job for young college adults can be tiring lol. Loved the cafe. It was a nice, chill place to study when I couldn't go to the library and had good snacks and coffee. I liked that doors locked after a certain point in the day. Helped make the building feel secure. Cons: Having to pay a full months rent for the first month when move in was around the 15th/week before classes. This was off putting when I first moved in. Having to pay for a meal plan. I got use out of mine because one has to eat, but they made it sound like it is an optional choice and then said it is mandatory. Lack of proper communication. For example, I was not told doing the summer "storage" option (where you pay a smaller amount monthly to keep your room over the summer but not have the keys) would lose my parking pass that I was told I could keep. I had to drop another payment to have a valid parking pass for the next lease plan. Out of date rooms. My room was pretty old looking and had old appliances. My microwave caught on fire and the maintenance man said it was due to my microwave in the room being old and never replaced to a newer one. The popcorn ceiling was unappealing and the carpet was always dirty no matter how much i vacuumed (which, i got charged a carpet cleaning fee after I moved out, but the carpet was dirty when I moved in??) Lack of food variety. They had daily specials, but overall everything was the same. Also the weekend especially lack variety/specials. Dining Hall times: They changed three(?) times while I stayed there and it was SUCH an inconvenience, especially since I am a grad student and most my seminars ended close to 8pm. At one point they changed the dinner time two times. From 8pm to 7:30pm and then from 7:30pm to 7pm, all week. They also took away breakfast at one point for just a brunch time, which I know affected those with earlier class schedules. Lack of security? I think I only ever saw who I presume was the security guard once. I've heard violent altercations on the floor below me and didn't know how to contact security about it. I also had my bike tire stolen at one point too lol. Overall, my experience living here for two years was okay. It was a needed space with my then limited income and it did the bare necessities. I would recommend looking elsewhere first before settling here. Not everything was bad, as I stated in my long review, but I feel the cons outweigh any pros I have.

same monthly payment as Academic. Annual is from 6/15 to 5/31 for 689.00 a month. Academic is 8/1 to 5/31 for 689.00 a month. The issue I have is same monthly payment each month. If I can only move in on the 15th of the month then it should be prorated but No. I’m not sure how this is legal in leasing an apartment???? First month should be half the 689.00. I don’t like the ideal that the cafeteria is closed during winter break but I guess that is why they give you the flex cash every semester. The amount you get depends on your meal plan. IMPORTANT note for individual athletes that plan on attending Butte Junior College. If you are a NCAA qualifier and play a Winter sport you should do a 6 month lease. If you have a good season and eligible to transfer at the end of the semester, you are not locked into a year lease. I was not aware of this option although I communicated with staff on 9 different days via text and several times received a phone call from a staff member. I feel that now I’m locked in they don’t want to address my concerns. My option is break the lease and pay 2,500.00. If I could afford to do that I would. I work hard for my money and value where I spend it. I will write another review once my child has moved out.

We aren’t provided with the unit number or the addition insurers detail until the actual move-in date. The remainder of the process was smooth and quick. Staff was very helpful and able to answer all questions and concerns.

me feel welcome despite my lack of social skills. I only wish I had the guts to ask them of their names, and talk to them outside of the general greetings, because they somehow remembered my silly name, Kiwi. If any of said staff who worked from 2022 - 2024 sees this, thank you for talking to me. It means more than I could ever say aloud. One star off though because the maintenance and front desk staff don't really do their jobs.
