I think it's the worst option to choose pay the application fare. Afterwards, I check the price and I think it's expensive, so I decide not to find a place to live through the website.

Guys. Do not even consider using their services. They will try their best to take your money. You won't get your security deposit back. They made story up to say that the student violated their contract in order to keep the deposit. They would probably delete this review but im posting it anyway. update: They blocked my Facebook. Is this North Korea? WTF?

Our staff sent you an e-mail but your reply was received 3 days later. YOU ARE GETTING YOUR DEPOSIT BACK however the extra day and late... read more
