I'm the parent of a WVU student who currently resides at CEV in Morgantown. We had some concerns before our Mountaineer moved in based on reviews we had read. We were assured that the apartments were under 'new management' and that there were going to be huge improvements. Here is our list of Pros and Cons
Pro
1) close parking
2) bigger than a dorm room
3) rent is cheaper than most places but I guess you get what you pay for
Cons
1)One of our biggest issues we've had is with the water. It
...turned dark brown in our Mountaineer's building. It came out dark brown for about a day last fall (2020). Then in December, the water was out altogether for **5 days**!!! This occurred during finals!!!!! There was *no* water in the building. Residents were told they could take showers at the apartment gym and were given bottled water. Using the toilet and washing clothes was impossible. Before our Mountaineer came home for the break (Dec 2020) there were workers in front of the building digging but not sure if the problem was fixed because the water went out again for 4 days (Jan 8-11). This is totally unacceptable. We shouldn't have to worry if our kids are having their basic needs met.
2)Our Mountaineer, and roommates, have made several work requests to have the oven in the apartment repaired...it has never worked. Maintenance came out and said they fixed it but it still doesn't work.
3)Future renters, please be aware that rent is not all-inclusive. You will have a utility bill on top of the rent payment.
4)Also, be aware that non-students are allowed to rent in the apartments. We, ignorantly, assumed only students lived there because of the name *Campus* Evolution. Never thought to verify if non-students would be able to rent. One of our student's roommates is late 20s and not a college student. They were matched up with the 'roommate matching' that CEV offers.
5) slow internet connection
6)Management is very slow about responding to concerns. I think they clearly take advantage of naive college students who are living on their own for the first time. Be wary about pressures from CEV staff to renew the lease for the following year. They make offers of 'free pizza', '$200 bonus', locking in at current rates, etc. We let our student handle all issues because well, that's part of adulting but we will step in if necessary.
