Yes. I felt safe. But my windows were nailed shut. Missing a light bulb on the desk. Floors without rugs need to be mopped.

"Room was the worst possible room they had, stuck in the corner with 2 other units and the cleaming staffs laundry and supplies room. The doors were not sealed and had major gaps causing for a less than ideal climate in the room and the moise echoing from the cleaning staff and thousands of kids that are left to run a muck without any checking from parents. No water pressure and the ueat was only on for the first 2 minutes then only warm. There was no dresser in my horribly placed room that should only cost hals the price . No closet to put my stuf , only under a table next to the fridge and microwave ( im astonished this place had these) and the horrible little coffee maker and even worse coffee . Disgusting. Oh and you had to unplug one of them to use the other. Not worth the money, stay somewhere else 💯 "
