160 Ross, auburn-al

Awesome place for students at Auburn. 160 Ross has lovely rooms, with large cupboards, great kitchens, lounge area, washer and dryer, freshly painted, new furniture, polite and responsive staff, and excellent amenities from grills, lovely pool, pool table and is very very well located. You can't go wrong. Don't know how this has 2.8 stars, and that should be ignored.

My son has loved living at 160! Spacious rooms, so many amenities, quick turnaround on service requests. The AU bus picks up at the front door. How many state school dorms have a hot tub, gas firepit/fireplace, stainless steel gas grills, swimming pool, hammock bay, etc?!?

Getting a package on time from this place is physically impossible. I had a package come in and for 3 days I tried to pick it up but, “nobody was there to let me into the mail room.” Completely slow on everything and aren’t very helpful.

They will not be hesitant to leave your student outside in the cold for 1 hour every fire drill. Genuinely a horrible place to live. Noisy, internet barely works, walking is faster than taking the bus here, and rent is just not worth it. Maintenance is on the bare minimum side. Do not recommend.

I’ve lived here for 3 years because of the convenience of university housing. Now that it is leasing, I’m telling you: do NOT sign a lease here for over $800/month. This place is constantly disgusting and nothing is well kept. The floors are constantly dirty, trash piles up in the chutes, and I pass by at least 4 pieces of litter on my way to my room daily. In the time that I’ve lived here there’s been both an electrical fire and flooding that required residents to move out for the rest of the year. Although across from the police station, all the gates are broken, and at one point there was a homeless man knocking on students’ doors asking for money. The walk to campus isn’t even worth it because it takes 20 minutes just to reach Samford hall, and an additional 15 to reach the stadium. They also advertise the hot tub to be part of the amenities, however it’s only been fixed once before never being repaired again. Maybe it’ll get better under new management, but as of right now it’s a dangerous, ugly, and dreary place to live. You’re better off signing a cheaper lease farther from campus or paying more for something safer and closer!
