The worst part about this place is it's reputation and the location. The social life however is one of the best you'll ever find at BYU. The Indoor hallways that connect the male and female parts of the building are ideal. The management always took care of us and the price was pretty good too. I rented from fall 10 through winter 11. ...

I hate glenwood. They said they ran out of parking passes so I had to park like a mile away from my own apartment. What kind of apartment complex denies their tenants parking passes? The apartments are terrible and all smell like hamster cages, and that is coming from someone that just got off their mission in Mexico. It was a very bad experience. Dont live here. I rented from winter 11 through fall 11. ...

Glenwood has been by far the worst apartment complex to live in. The wards are so great and what kept me here. The internet is the terrible, the managers are even worse. Surprise fees all over, no follow up on work orders or fixes, managers don't care and are lazy. Assess fees because they don't want to work. Their computer program to calculate rent is always screwed up so be careful if you live here that you look at every charge. BEWARE OF LIVING HERE!!! I rented from spring 10 through fall 11. ...

I love Glenwood! Great people and great wards. What more do you need? We had some issues with internet, but they seem to be ironed out. Management is really nice and willing to help with anything! Seriously consider Glenwood! I rented from fall 10 through spring 11. ...

Don't stay here. Seriously it's a dumpy place and they try to rob you of any money they can. I paid 200 dollars for my deposit and only got 60 back because they charged me for damages on our rooms desk that were there when we moved in. When I called to try and get it back they didn't do anything for me. You might get a parking pass and might not. When I came to the office 4 times throughout the semester to get a parking pass they just said they were out. So I parked at the Marriott the entire semester. You can find better for the price. ...

I looked through the comments below and seems like they're a bit dated. I've been here for a year from Spring 2012 to Spring 2013 and seen some changes around Glenwood. They re-paved the entire place and so it's much smoother now. They bought new leather couches for the apartments. They actually hire people to come and clean apartments for you once in a while and therefore there's almost no clean check ever. The cleaning check is not very hard either, due to my cool RA. I don't have to carry keys everywhere because they use doorcode instead of key. A few things I notice that Glenwood is not good about. They perform routine inspections but obviously there're things they don't see. My living-room window is quite foggy and can't be clean, but I guess that's minor. What annoys me A LOT lately is the Internet. They've been trying to fix it up and down but I still have problems with it everyday. 2 driers (out of 6) in the laundry room are broken but Glenwood is too poor to fix them right now. Ok price for 6-people apartment. Average distance to campus. Close to Macey the grocery store. Quite social. People get engaged a lot. Bad internet. Good parking ...

glen"hood" is rockin'! literally, but we had to purchase the rocking chair. it has plenty of parking (mind you aren't bothered by a 2 min walk from the underground parking.) chicks are hot, and the hot tub is hotter, and when the hot chicks are in the hot tub... i'll leave it there. plus, there is billiards. (i dare anyone to challenge me). ...

This place is TRASH! Whatever you do, DO NOT GO HERE!!!! It has the worst landlord I have encountered in my life. They tried to overcharge me almost every single time! And they were terrible to work with. I felt very unsafe there and there were extremely apathetic to my situation. It is a terrible place to live and all they want to do is jip you. Just choose somewhere else. You won't regret passing this one by. I rented from spring 10 through winter 11. ...

Glenwood is somewhere in which you need to think very carefully about before moving into. I loved the parking. I was always able to find a spot even late at night, and usually right outside of my building. People are also very nice in the ward and through out the complex- I was almost always able to talk to someone new on the way to campus. However, there are major problems at Glenwood. When I read the reviews, I thought many of the complaints people had were just over exaggerations. However, If you live in Glenwood, something WILL break down. The problem varies for each apartment, but it seems to be a universal truth through out glenwood that something will stop working or go very wrong. I stayed for one semester, and in that time the bathroom upstairs had pipes leak TWICE, in which water drained into our bathroom and seeped into the hallway carpet and ruined anything that was in the bathroom BOTH times. Another weekend we had the dishwasher, the microwave, and the garbage disposal stop working all at once (we tried switching the circuit breaker, but it did not do anything). On separate occasions, there were other things that broke. The maintenance is always happy to fix something, and responds quickly. In all honesty, it seems like they are always trying to fix problems and make living better, but since it is so old, it is almost impossible for them to keep up with. I paid about 300 a month after rent, utilities, and the cost of internet. If you want a place that is social, have a 10-25 minute walk to campus, a place close to Macy's, and relatively low rent GO FOR GLENWOOD. If you want things to work whenever you flip the switch, turn on the nozzle, or becomes quiet before the weee hours in the morning- Glenwood is not the place for you.

I really enjoy living at Glenwood. I have lived there for a year and just barely resigned for another. Guys, the scenery around here is great ;) The fact that all the apartments (guys and girls) are connected indoors makes the place very social. At midnight I generally go into the hallway and watch movies on my love sack with girls :) They repaved the parking lot while I have been here and put new leather couches in most of the apartments. My roommates and I pained the apartment ourselves which made the place look fantastic! The management has also been pretty cool with my friends and I. They let us host a Glenwood-sponsored Electronic Dance Party and gave us over 500 bucks for decorations and expenses! In my experience it all comes down to who your with, not where you are. If you are out going and fun, you will fit in well here, if not please live somewhere else ;) Building two (the one just south of the pool) in my opinions is the best. ...

I lived here for 3 consecutive summers in a private room but not during the school years. All three times I lived on the bottom floor which was convenient when moving in and out. However (and I don't know if this is true for the other floors), it felt as if I lived in a cave-- it was so dark inside the apartment, even with all windows open and lights on. It was pretty gloomy and uninviting. In two of my apartments, the living room window was broken. Not only did it not lock, but it wouldn't even close! Thank goodness no one tried to break in! The bedrooms were decent, and the closets were fairly spacious (however, I didn't have to share them with anyone). My final summer, however, my mattress was AWFUL. I can't even describe how terrible and used it was. There was such a slump in the middle of it that I developed some pretty serious back problems. I told management and they said that they didn't have any more mattresses to give and that I would just have to use what I had. I ended up putting about 6 textbooks underneath the mattress to level it out so that I could sleep on it. The showers were pretty frustrating-- one apartment had almost no hot water. Another had almost no cold water. The other was alright :) The hot tub and pool were pretty dirty most of the time with lots of nasty floaties, leaves, dirt, and who knows what else. The parking lot was like driving through a mine field with massive craters and cracks- this was for each of the 3 summers I lived there. The most frustrating part of my stays here was that I had my car windows smashed and stuff stolen out of my car, costing me thousands of dollars in repairs and replacements. Another summer, my bike locks were cut and my brand-new mountain bike was stolen. There are a few sketchy people that hang around at night who I don't think lived at Glenwood; I once came out of my apartment one morning and there was a drunk guy passed out in the hallway in front of my apartment door inside the building. He was just laying there, asleep! It was the strangest thing... Some cool things about Glenwood is that there are ceiling fans in the apartments! If you have your own room, the rooms are actually really spacious and open. The clubhouse is way nice, and each of the LDS wards I lived in were fantastic. When a late winter storm flooded my apartment, maintenance was in there within an hour or two, tearing up the carpets and set up the industrials fans and followed up for a long time afterwards to make sure there were no problems. It was to not have to carry apartment keys around all the time with the code-locked doors. If you are a poor, starving freshman or sophomore in college, this is a neat place to live. If you are not a youngun' and/or have extra money to spend on better housing, don't live here. I rented from summer '08 through summer 10. ...

social life was good, everyone was really down to earth, but there are always some weirdos. the hot tub is always a good place to meet people, and the office gives out free sodas and popsicles in the summer and hot chocolate and cookies in the winter. I never had a problem with management. but the apartments were ghetto. the couches were torn, the carper was nasty and there was absolutely no where to store stuff, so you really have to condense. they also do not provide a pantry so every apartment basically has to get some kind of storage for food. I rented from fall '09 through winter 10. ...

The manager of Glenwood is a total jerk (See story below). He honestly doesn’t care at all about the condition of apartments. When I moved in, there was dirt everywhere, trash all over the room, torn couches and carpet, and tables and chairs in bad need of repair. The entire time I loved there there was a fowl stench that no air freshener could mask. I found a bag of potatoes in the apartment that had been there so long they had sprouted 5 inch long roots. DO NOT LIVE HERE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED BY ME AND THE COUNTLESS OTHERS ON THIS SITE. I’ve lived in many places in Provo and this is by far the worst. Social life is good, parking is good, and the buildings look nice on the outside, but it’s the opposite on the inside. Dryers hardly ever get clothes dry, and there are only 6 dryers for the roughly 216 people in each building. There is no storage space in the tiny bedrooms unless you raise your bed. A true story if you have the time: We got brand new metal framed chairs in our apartment, but one of them had a manufacturers defect. (It broke when my roommate sat in it). The manager came into our apartment and accused us of roughhousing and “being college boys” and that he “couldn’t believe for a second” it was an accident. He said this to my face, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back himself up. I then proceeded to tell him the condition that I found my apartment in when I moved there and how “I couldn’t believe for a second” what I was seeing. They charge you if YOU don’t clean, but then they don’t take that money and hire anyone to do it. They pocket it and expect the next move ins to clean it. I rented from winter '09 through summer 10. ...

Glenwood honestly sucks! DON'T LIVE HERE!!! We were stuck in Bedroom 3 which is basically a broom closet in the back. VERY COZY! The showers are always cold and the cleaning checks are a joke! One of my roommates failed three times despite scrubbing for three hours each time. I scrubbed the bathroom up and down for 3 hours on my birthday and even wrote a note on there but they failed me anyways. Definitely old and scummy it always smells like an old man in your place. The toilet above flooded and our carpet was soaked from the overflowing poop. We had a gas leak from our furnace which is crazy because we almost had candles on my birthday cake and would have had quite an explosion on our hands if we'd decided to have candles! I also had those black and orange bugs get into my bed. DON'T LIVE HERE!!! I rented from fall 10 through spring 11. ...

My apartment was infested with ants that got into our food in the cupboards. I heard similar reports from at least three other apartments in the building. The hot water heater is small. One of our doorways was falling down, and the couches were covered in duct tape. There is no box springs under the bed, just a wood frame, making the beds very hard, and mine was bowed in the middle. Structurally, the apartments are very old, despite management putting in new furniture and perks to try to dress up a very OLD apartment. Parking is okay if you get home before 10pm, anyone can park in the lot until midnight, so you might not get a spot. The management was nice enough, service requests are completed within a week or two. The wards are awesome, church is in the Tanner building, the people this semester were friendly, but not a lot of activities going on. The price is pretty cheap, but you definitely get only what you pay for, if that. I rented from winter 11 through winter 11. ...

I HATE THIS PLACE. My mini van can't exactly take the awesome off roading experience in the parking lot; the smell of my apartment and the hallway has the most distinct odor of old people and a dirty hamster cage; the management works so well they might as well be dead; I'm pretty sure the walls and ceilings are made of cardboard; I've seen better looking couches and bedding at DI; I'm pretty sure the carpet is so old and disgusting it might be hiding AIDS in it - and who doesn't want that? If you're a smart kid, you'll run. Fast. I rented from fall 10 through spring 11. ...
