• Student comments:o "One forgotten apartment resource is the campus apartments. I live in Hillcrest

Manor apartments [an apartment building reserved for law students], which arelocated righc across the street from the law school (you don't have to drive tocampus). On many occasions I have woken up 20 minutes before class and stillmake it on time. Plus it's pretty cheap, bills are paid, the walls are thick, and thespace is generous. However, it's pretty ugly and there isn't a poo!."

o "I live in Hillcrest Manor and I love it. The convenience of living so close tocampus is priceless. Plus, my rent is really good."

o "I live in the Hillcrest Manor apartment complex. The one thing I can say is you justcan't beat living across the stteet from the law schoo!' You will really appreciate itthe first year. Plus, for apartments in this area it is relatively inexpensive. Theapartments are older, but the maintenance people are very quick and friendly."

APARTMENTS

Many students live off-campus in non-SMU housing. Many have used an apartment locatorservice to help them locate housing. If you use a locator service, be sure there is no charge to you.Most locator service fees are paid by the apartment complex. Many of our students have used andrecommend the "Apartment Selector" (www.aptse1ector.com; 800-479-8744; 214-750-8744) or"Mustang Leasing Company" [provides a cash rebate] (www.mustangleasing.com; e-mail:[email protected]; 866-721-PONY; 214-521-P01'.TY; 6060 N. Central Expressway, Suite560, Dallas, TX 75206). "MoveFreeAmerica" is an apartment locating and moving service that paysfor your move or provides a cash rebate (e-mail: [email protected]; 214-754-9988).Please tell any of these companies that you are an SMU Dedman School of Law student.

Also, some of the very nice downtown. apartments (particularly the JPI properties) have anagreement that they will allocate twenty percent of their units to an Affordable Housing programwith extremely low rent. Obviously, this is not advertised as waiting lists can get long. Scholarshipsand school loans are accepted as proof of income. Law students nsually qualify due to their highertuition. Students should ask (as early as possible) whether apartments have such a program and ifthey can be put on the waiting list. The amount saved on rent can be significant.

Information on several apartment complexes is listed on the follo\ving pages. The apartments aregrouped by location. There are many other apartment complexes in these areas; this information isjust a starting point. Remember to ask about move-in specials and discounts for students.

slow unless it is a REAL emergency, and the apartments are not wellinsulated or built so there is A LOT of noise. But, I think relatively speakingthere are fe\v security concerns."

• "I love my apartment complex. The apartments are less expensive than theVillage and it is so close to school. The management is really good abouttaking care of repairs, etc. It's not the newest complex, but they do a goodjob at maintaining it. Also, they often run really good discounts."

a Student comments:• "The apartments are owned and managed by Fath Properties. Students need

to look at the surrounding neighbothood when they check out any Fathapattments. The complex isn't much to look at, but it is well maintained andreasonably priced. It takes about 10 minutes to get to and from the lawschool without traffic. With traffic on 75, it is best to take surface streets.The monthly rent is comparable to the Village properties, but theneighborhood is much more quiet."

a Student comments:• "I've been living in The Phoenix apartments for the past year and a half and I

highly recommend it. The ptice is a bit high, but there's always security andthe management takes care of your problems promptly. It is also right nextdoor to a 24-hour Kroger, so that is always a convenient factor."

• "I would definitely recommend the Phoenix to future students. The locationis great (close to school, shopping, highway access). The management officeis very responsive to problems (although there have not been many problemsto speak of) and the facilities are well taken care of (plus there is coveredparC".ing).It may be a bit on the pricey side, but they have good move-inspecials. Quite a few law students live there, actually.""The initial process of looking at the property, filling out forms and gettingthe lease done went off without a hitch. I got a great deal on rent and theyare putting in a washer and-dryer for me at no charge. In addition, because Iam an SMU law student, I received an extra 5% off the rent and a freecleaning or car detailing once a month. I've rented quite a few apartmentsand have to say that the office staff is by fat the most accommodating yet."

• "I love it. The landlords are both really nice and really like to rent to lawstudents. The building itself is old, but has lots of personality. They all havehardwood £loots that were recently refinished within the past year andeverything was repainted before I moved in. I would recommend interestedstudents to call in the spring and put their name on the waiting list. Sincethere are only 16 units, there is very little turn-over."

very modern, and has a gated parking garage and trash chutes in every hall(no more walking out to the dumpster!). I can't say enough about theneighborhood, either. \Vle are walking distance from a lot of greatbars/sports bars/restaurants, and just a few blocks from the West Village,which is a great place for food, drinks, coffee, and shopping."

o Student comments:• "Icurrently live at the Park at Turtle Creek and I love it. Ihave lived at a

couple of different apartment complexes in Dallas, but I think this apartmenthas been the best deal. They have 1, 2, & 3 bedroom apartments and therent is extremely reasonable, probably the cheapest in the Uptown area.Also, most of the residents are relatively young, either late college, gradstudents or recent graduates, so it is a nice enviromnent. There is a greatpool, and the clubhouse has a great conference room that is nice forstudying."
