Have you all heard about what's going down at UK? Well, last year the city brought in a rule that is supposed to cut down on the number of off-campus parties by designating any property that has had two or more noise violations as a "no party zone." I'm not sure about the details of it because it never affected me (I've lived in the dorms/sorority house the whole time), but there were basically a lot of residents who live near campus that were complaining about having to live next to rowdy, loud college kids. I understand that everyone has the right to peace and quiet, but as someone already said, what do you expect if you move in near a college campus?? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if you live in a neighborhood that has a lot of students, it's not going to be as quiet as, say, another neighborhood that houses mostly older people.
And on the issue about off-campus rentals being dumps...ohhhhh, yes! "Dump" is actually a generous term to describe some of the places around here. I know I don't want to pay $350+ per month to live in a house that I wouldn't even want a dog staying in! The dorms look like the Plaza Hotel in comparison.
