This is my apartment I have been living in for the last four months and which I will be living in until July 31st next year. I've been living with my French friend Fab and two American roommates we were randomly selected to live with. The apartment complex is huge with something like 15 buildings housing a few hundred people. It's only a 45 minute walk to campus from here, but thankfully it's right on a free LSU bus route meaning just a 15 minute ride on a packed bus. The apartment came fully furnished and with a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, oven, fridge etc. There is also a basketball court, tennis court and sand volleyball arena along with a gym, pool, hot tub, and BBQ area. Pets are allowed, which sadly means you want to avoid grass areas. However, all in all it's a fairly nice place to live.
Living here also hasn't been without its dramas, particularly involving one roommate. First, food from the fridge would dissappear. Later on in the semester we would arrive home to find that our rooms looked like they had been searched through and some loose change had disappeared. Next, Fab's French credit card had mysteriously been used to buy €150 of pizza, Chinese food, and other takeaways which could be traced to being ordered from our roommate's cellphone and which we were told had been delivered to our apartment. Our suspicions confirmed, we called the police, who promptly did...nothing. Thankfully, this particular guy was evicted a week later for not paying rent, but not before threatening our other roommate Mo with a gun...
