Comments on condition:
This house (known as Fuller House) is quite worn in but has an abundance of charm in its old walls and chipped paint. Certain parts are in better shape than others. For example, all of the rooms are in very nice condition, the hall ways and common rooms are a little more ragged. The funiture is falling apart but very comfortable. This is a cozy house once you get settled in.

Temperature
Is the residence well insulated? Yes
Are there window screens? Yes
Are there storm windows? Yes
Is the residence warm enough? Yes
Is it hard to regulate the heat?
(For example, does the thermostat work? Do you have to open windows in the winter?): No

Comments on any of the above (temperature):
Some areas of the house are not as well insulated as others, but thanks to the OSCA properties committee that oversees the house, Fuller's energy issues are frequently addressed. It is easy to heat up the house and it never gets too cold even in the winter.

Relationship With Landlord

Does s/he enter the premises without your consent or without giving legal notice? No

Have you observed on the part of the landlord/landlady discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.? No

Is the landlord/landlady willing to make repairs? If yes, comment on how promptly (below): Yes

Have you had any disagreements with your landlord/landlady concerning who has the responsibility for making the repairs? No

Do you expect to have any problems getting your security deposit returned? If yes, why? (Explain below.): No

Have you had any major disagreements with your landlord/landlady? (Explain below.): No

If yes, have you taken any legal action concerning the disagreement? (Explain below.): No

Explanations and comments:
Fuller is a need based residence. Therefore, one must apply to live thier and only students who have shown a demonstrated need for cheap housing can live there. However, if there are not enough need based applications recieved, the house is opened up to the general public but they must fill out an application as well. Also, OSCA pays for most of the repairs done to the house and is very quick in responding to complaints.

Neighborhood & Location
Are your neighbors towns-people, students, or a mix? Mix
For whom is the noise level appropriate? School children
Problems with location? None of the above

Comments on the neighborhood:
Being right across the street from Tank with non-student nieghbors and a park in the back yard gives this location an interesting feel to it. Usually things in the nieghborhood are calm but can get lively. Things rarely get too noisey or out of hand.
