what aggravated residents most, myself included, was fluctuating rent prices. Rent rose significantly every semester. I started a lease at $255 and left 2.5 years later paying 420-ish, an $165 increase! Upon asking management about rent increases, they would accredit it to made-up fees like owning a vacuum or "communication fees" every time management sent you a mass email, or an internet fee for our already-free Google Fiber. As a full-time student who worked after class to pay their way without parent help, that extra $165 that I had to pay every month made for some of the hardest, hungriest, and unhappiest months of my life.
