Viewer photos and videos complained of mold, bug infestations, broken or damaged furniture, stained carpets and beds and malfunctioning air conditioning, among other concerns.

“There were roaches everywhere, it was very disgusting. My room, there was roach droppings in the shower, furniture was broke. There is mold in the vents. It’s just really disgusting,” said one ECU student.
