The Cottages of Hattiesburg, hattiesburg-ms

If you’re a parent looking for reliable student housing, avoid The Cottages of Hattiesburg. Their lease is written to trap students with no early termination allowed for any reason, including school transfer, medical issues, or withdrawal. When my daughter transferred schools, management offered no flexibility, even though she had not moved in and the lease term hadn’t started. The only option they give is a relet process, which they admit “may be difficult,” while still charging an 85% reletting fee. They provide no support in finding a replacement tenant and take no responsibility for the fact that their policies create unnecessary financial hardship for students. Communication is slow, inconsistent, and dismissive. For a property marketed to college students, their policies are predatory and out of step with how reputable student housing communities operate. Parents: read the lease carefully. This place is not student‑friendly, not flexible, and not supportive.

Was apartment hunting and got a tour. The staff were friendly, respectful and overall informative. I recommend if your looking for a great community to stay in this is it

I have lived here with three of my best friends for almost two years and I have loved every minute! I really enjoy the free printing, gym, and pool! I also enjoy being able to look out of my window and see nature views. The rooms and living areas are very spacious and nice!

The Cottages has been a great experience and I plan on living here for the rest of my college career. The amenities that come with it and the customer service and maintenance response time adds a cherry on top. I highly recommend looking to live here.

I recently took a tour at The Cottages and loved it! It is so different from the other apartments around and unique as it is literally a gated neighborhood full of houses instead of apartments. The staff was so nice and helpful with all my questions, too.
