    I am a senior at the University of Pittsburgh. Moving off campus can be a little of an uncomfortable change, given that you've likely lived in a dorm for a couple years prior. I started my apartment search in South Oakland because it is a popular area for students to move into when moving off-campus. Not all places there serve students well. You can experience anything from unkind landlords, dirty living spaces, and much more. University Commons Mckee Place is located in central Oakland and ...
    provides everything a student could need to have a good living experience. They value keeping their residents happy and feeling comfortable in their apartments. This was the first apartment that my mom was truly happy to see me in. As an out of state student, it means a lot to me to be living in a place that both I and my family feels comfortable with me being in. This is my first semester living here and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Thank you.
