Rising Sun Apartments

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if any current AUC students have lived in or know anyone who lives in the Rising Sun Apartment building? It seems to have the cheapest rent of all the Solutions properties, so I just want to make sure it is a reasonable place to live before I reserve it. Also, from the map it appears to be about a 2-4 minute walk from campus; is this a fair estimate? Thanks.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Cool. Is it a decent place to live i.e. no serious problems that would distract me or take much time away from school?

Ok, thanks. I was looking at the list provided by AUC...How come there are some apartments at the Cupecoy Tradewinds that cost less than the dorms, including utilities? If I can get one of those apartments, would it also be okay to live in? Again, is it within a very close walking distance to campus?

The dorms are the bomb! Tradewinds is not as close as rising sun or the dorms, but it is definitely walkable.

Ok, good to know. I really wanted to live in the dorms, but they are filled up for the fall. I think I will go with Rising Sun unless I can get a very good deal on an apartment at the Tradewinds. Thanks guys!
