Liberty on Eighth

more than other places. On top of that, they not only charge a high monthly fee for guaranteed parking but also a high fee for un-guaranteed parking. The price for one laundry load is twice that of other places and half the time the dryer you picked was broken. The office phone number doesn’t work or doesn’t take voicemails half the time and for the first month no-one was in the physical office during hours. The office email works great but they never address your concerns and say stuff like “I can’t help with that”, “all fees are final”, “there’s nothing I can do”. For example, most recently they charged my roommates and I all various fees for having to take out trash after the move out day. The fees did not add up and were not distributed properly according to the lease and they never could tell me why. So, they basically took money from everyone as they moved out and hoped that people wouldn’t care because they get back some of the deposit, they’re tired of dealing with the management, and the phones are dead if they tried to call anyway. If you’re wondering why a place so close to campus with a decent listed rent price still has spots available this is why. The best part of living here was all the cool people you get scammed with.

great living room and kitchen space!

it was good sophomore housing because there are cool people here. But the reason they have such a high turnover rate is because of the following: Parking: Sold way more spots than they had available and my roommates have all gotten tickets and boots because they had to park elsewhere. Social: Close to campus so it's social because college students live here, not because anything Liberty does. In W building, the ward was a 4:1 girl to guy ratio like my freshman ward. Our ward consisted of us, AKH and the Atrium, the only guys came from our building but it was fun to live in a co-ed building. Quality: Floorboards are coming up, water hasn't stayed hot all year. Girls across the hall had cold showers for a few weeks. There is one maintenance guy who is nice and fixes stuff, so I think the issue is with Management (Not James tho he's great). Pool was health coded and hot tub is always cold. Gym equipment is mostly broken, they have one working treadmill and Elyptical, and weights up to 50 lbs. The Smith machine works. So it's good but for less than 4 people. Overall I think you pay for location. Don't regret living here but won't be doing it again.

stuff in apartments. We had a bathtub flooded for about a month and a half with plumbing problems. We were waiting on a maintenance request that said it’d be done within a week. They also decided to renovate our bathroom by adding a “new” tub (it was the same old crusty looking version). That renovation took at least two to three weeks instead of a couple hours, so we had one of our bathrooms torn up for a while. Overall not the best place to live. But the social aspect of it was pretty good.

with the management and two of the young men that worked there were great, but their leasing manager Jess is absolutely horrible. She seems so unhappy and made me feel like a burden asking any clarifying questions about my contract. Her answers to my questions were often inconsistent and the lack of knowledge the employees had or gave me pertaining to the apartment resulted in a lot of lost money on my end. I am convinced liberty on eighth is the worst place you could possibly live in Provo. I mean sure, there are places just as crappy if not crappier, but they don’t charge you $500 a month plus an “unguaranteed parking pass” costing 20 bucks a month. There are 57 spots in the unguaranteed lot and my parking sticker was number 121 and I know I wasn’t the last to purchase a pass. Because of this the majority of people who park in the lot find a spot and stay there because they don’t want to go through the hassle of having to find a spot somewhere else or park illegally and pay 75 buck to get a boot off their car or get it out of the impounding lot. To advertise their complex liberty says “Liberty on Eighth is one of the most popular student housing facilities in the Provo area. Tons of amenities and only a block from BYU campus. Apply now!” The only true thing in here is that it is close to campus. I don’t know what amenities they are talking about? A pool? A hot tub? Yeah right! Unless you just want to swim in a moldy pool or a cold and filthy hot tub, you can't do either of those. But you still PAY for the so-called amenities they provide. I would wake up in the morning to a sprinkler slamming on my window every morning which was not only annoying because it woke me up, but the outside of my window had so much hard water on it you could barely see out the window. The sprinklers watered my window and the sidewalk outside and basically everything besides the grass. When I would walk to school in the morning, I had to walk on the grass instead of the sidewalk because the grass was dry, and the walk was flooded. Liberty will promote their apartments with free giveaways including apple products, school supplies, and gift cards… but I would much rather have them put the time and effort they spend on the activities and giveaways into making Liberty on Eighth an actual decent place to live. Liberty takes any opportunity to screw over its tenants if it will save them a few bucks. They know they can do this because there will always be years of new students that they can take advantage of.

need and it’s way over priced.

I do not recommend this place at all. I just wish I could get some of my wasted money back.

apartment to live in, but frustrating experience with management and overall poor bang for your buck.

overpriced and on top of that they nickel and dime you with "fees" for about another 100 dollars. I'm paying like 250 more dollars per month for this apartment than my last and I'm not getting 250 dollars more value. WAY too many cleaning checks and scheduled with no respect for the school year (cleaning checks during peak midterms? Seriously?) The social scene is pretty top-tier, and the bishopric just randomly give us food and presents like every week, but it's not worth the money unless you live for that sort of thing.
