Sorry for the late response…my daughter and husband visited UPA and Scioto… sharing their impressions…

Scioto had a major renovation done recently (2016). Huge windows, so rooms are flooded with light. All the 2 person units are studio style. Big closet/storage area. Desks are weird -dresser/desk combo. Security is good, they make you sign in guests downstairs and are (allegedly) strict about number of guests allowed (1/resident). It seems a little closer to DAAP than UPA. Two laundry areas on each floor. The bathrooms are cleaned by housing staff on a weekly basis (but not the rest of the apartment).

UPA has 2 options for 2 people - either 2 bed/1.5 bath or 1 bed/1 bath. Basic closet/dresser for storage, nice desk with hutch. Unlike Scioto they do NOT clean bathrooms. Two buildings - South (facing Calhoun) which has 2 study lounges, tv lounge and 2 laundry rooms. North (facing Dennis) has lobby with front desk staff, gym, laundry room, and is where the free food is served. Security (cameras, patrols etc) seems good and RAs at front desk are always responsive and helpful.
