I notice that most of these reviews are completely fabricated. I normally wouldn't care, but after living here for almost four semesters, I feel like I have a responsibility to tell future renters what its really like. The Mark does have some very positive aspects, including a nice view from the roof and a location close to campus. Unfortunately, the negatives seem to outweigh the positives. I have lived at the Mark since it opened and have witnessed it degenerate into a place I no longer want to live. Here are some of the highlights: There is no security. Whatsoever. Homeless people know the lay of the building and wander around at their leisure. They even use the amenities and are known to enter unlocked apartments during the night. I have personally encountered homeless addicts in the parking garage and at the rooftop pool. Due to the lack of security, the garage is completely unsafe. There is no gate and cars are broken into on a nightly basis. Vehicles are also stolen routinely. I have personally had my car broken into, and my 7500 motorcycle was stolen just last week. The quality of the construction is abhorrent. The electricity short circuits regularly and the appliances break frequently. I personally had my entire kitchen sink collapse, something which seems to have happened to everyone I talk to. While mine was fixed after I fought with management for a few weeks, others have had to wait months for repairs. On the topic of management- this place is mostly run by college students. They are chill for the most part and cannot be blamed for their incompetence. The actual management, on the other hand, is really awful and goes out of their way to harass residents. I could name other things, but I think these details should sum up my experience pretty well. I hope my review helps you make a more balanced decision. After living here for almost two years, my best advice would be to avoid this place for the sake of your own safety and possessions.

I lived at the Mark for one summer and thankfully it was only a short term sublease. If you like wasting thousands of dollars and getting robbed then sign a lease here. The amenities are probably the best part of the Mark and they are hardly ever open or working due to lazy management keeping them closed, dirty, or defective. Homeless people love to wander through the parking garage, hallways, and stairways because they are always open and do not require fob access to get in. I’ve personally had my car broken into and know several others who have had their car broken into or their vehicle stolen because criminals have discovered the lack of security. Seriously - the Mark is now an easy target. They came in every night to look through cars over summer and according to my friends still at the Mark nothing has changed. At almost 100/month, you are paying to be robbed by homeless people. It is safer to park on the street. You’d think management would be a little more concerned by sketchy non-residents using the gym or homeless people sleeping on the stairway (seriously, I’ve come across both) than they are with harassing their residents. If something is broken a random resident is charged. I wish their management would stop posting pictures of each other on the Instagram and actually work to fix the problems at their student housing. Then again, the place is run by college students, so they couldn’t care less. I did not feel safe living at the Mark. For the amount you’d be paying here you can get something with equivalent amenities and a better location that is much safer and actually worth the price.
I love the Mark, it has great living arrangements along with great amenities, it is the perfect place to live if you are a student and would definitely recommend. It has a great view of downtown along with of the University. The people who work here are very nice and very helpful.
I love living at the Mark, it has the best pool on campus but when you want peace and quiet to study just go back to your apartment or the amazing study room! Staff is great and building is awesome!
I've spent most of my days at the mark with my closest friends and I completely love the place and the atmosphere that it gives off. The Mark is a perfect place for students that can balance their social life along with their academics. I am very excited to take part of the mark community this upcoming semester.
