The Degree, las-vegas-nv

I would strongly encourage prospective residents to carefully consider other housing options before choosing this apartment complex. I lived here for two years, and unfortunately my experience was consistently disappointing. On several occasions when I contacted staff regarding issues such as ongoing noise disturbances and a vandalism incident where my door was egged, I was advised to contact university police rather than receiving assistance from management. While I understand certain situations may require law enforcement involvement, I felt there was very little support or effort from the management team to help resolve resident concerns. Additionally, when I raised safety concerns and requested the possibility of moving to another unit, I was informed that I would be required to pay additional fees. The parking garage gate was also frequently left open, which diminished the sense of security for residents. When my brother moved into the unit, it appeared that the room had not been properly cleaned. There was wax residue on the desk and sticky residue on the walls, likely from previous indoor smoking. The hallways also regularly smelled of marijuana. Overall, I did not feel that the level of maintenance, cleanliness, or resident support met reasonable expectations, and I would recommend that others explore alternative apartment communities before committing to a lease here.

The mail room has been closed for weeks this results in you having to work around the leasing office’s time to pick up your packages. (On Sunday’s they close at 4pm, and sometimes they just close early randomly). The door breaks and remains open for weeks meaning anyone can get into the apartment’s main floor. They do not help with repairs at all, my room’s AC did not work as well as my roommates meaning we had to set it to 68 degrees for my room to not be sweltering and my roommates would freeze to death. I called the repair staff 4 times and they never fixed or did anything, they would show up and go “We can’t do anything,” when I called leasing they would say the same??? Do not come to this apartment go to the one on the other side of Maryland they do giveaways, and I’ve heard they treat their tenants better. Not worth it!!!!!!

If you care about your kids or your own sanity don't bother with this place. Lived here for almost 4 years and it was horrendous. Any low star reviewed post here is telling the truth. Staff is unqualified and incompetent from high to low levels, infrastructure and services are low quality, and pray you don't move in alone to be subjected to the ridiculous people they allow to live here even for a college students standards. I've been assaulted by mentally ill people that the staff let live here with no evaluation of mental state, they just want profit. LOOK ELSEWHERE I BEG YOU ALL!

The Degree Student Housing (Las Vegas) — Believe the Bad Reviews If you’ve been reading all the negative reviews and wondering, “Is it really that bad?” — yes. It is. Not everybody is wrong. What people are complaining about online is exactly what you get when you live here. 1. Safety is a real issue. The location is sketchy, and the “security” is basically for show. Gates don’t always work, people who don’t live there get in, and management doesn’t treat it like a priority. You will not feel secure coming and going. 2. Security/measures are awful. Cameras that don’t seem to help, no real enforcement, and staff that tell you to “submit something online” instead of actually addressing it. For a student property, that’s ridiculous. 3. Maintenance is atrocious. Things are broken when you move in, and when you put in work orders, they take forever or don’t get done correctly. AC, appliances, basic repairs — all delayed. This is not a one-off; tons of other reviews say the same thing… because it keeps happening. 4. Constant noise, no real management control. Loud residents, hallways, parties, late-night noise — and “quiet hours” are a joke. Management knows and does nothing. 5. The move-out scam is very real. This is the part everyone warns you about. You move in to stuff that isn’t clean or is already damaged. You report it. They don’t fix it. Then when you move out, they bill you for the same issues. It’s a business model for them — squeeze students with cleaning/damage charges. 6. Management doesn’t listen. The attitude is: pay your rent and be quiet. If you bring up real concerns, they deflect or hide behind “policy.” Bottom line: There are a lot of bad reviews about The Degree because people actually lived it. That many residents don’t all make up the same problems. If you’re a student or parent looking for safe, responsive, honest housing in Vegas — look at other properties first. You can do better than this place.

I love it here!! Beautiful scenery, landscaping, high quality amenities- I love the gym, the jacuzzi is amazing, and I feel safe with the security guards here it’s definitely pretty quiet & serene here I’m very happy!!!
