^^My S1 (junior) really likes Gateway but I’m not sure he had the same sort of issues mentioned upthread. On the plus side for him: the apartment is new; there are 2 bathrooms for 2 bedrooms, and the appliances, furniture & Tv are included. In addition, utilities, the internet and cable tv are all free. This year Gateway made allowance for students to waiver out of the full 1-year lease if they had 2nd semester for Study Abroad through USC with the proper paperwork filed at the right time. S2 finds the location and amenities very convenient.

To be honest, he may not have the complaints that others have mentioned in part because he didn’t sign a lease at the beginning when rents were so high. He had made other arrangements for this year’s housing, but when those fell through this summer, he discovered Gateway seriously had lowered rents.

Note: He was matched with a guy (other bedroom) who is not a USC student but attends another college (and hopes to transfer to USC). This has been fine with my son as the two get along great.

Hope this info helps.
