Sait

I wouldn’t recommend staying here for students as it’s not worth giving it a try. They charge so much for the bare minimum service and the rooms are faulty and depressing. We always had our doors open because it’s hard for us to open it back again when it’s closed and it’s squeaking loud.
They are also very slow in making actions whenever there are problems. One time I needed my light bulb changed, it took them almost 2 weeks to get it fixed, so basically I had to walk blindly around my room for the whole week and I was tripping all the time could not study. I only stayed there for 3 months and the last whole month of my stay the laundry card was broken and there’s no nearby laundromat so I had to go far sunnyside to get laundry done or use my hands to wash it. Every week I had to check with them if they got it fixed already but nothing was still working and what’s even more worse, the front desk receptionists were even more pissed off for us asking multiple times and responding to us very bluntly. Like how can we not demand for it to get fixed when we can’t use something we paid for? They are ridiculously rude and caused us a lot of confusion. Whenever we have questions, they don’t know what they’re talking about. They keep on telling us to come back or call again the next day and the next day I do, they tell me to come back or call again next time again.
Their elevators are faulty.

SAIT Residence is the worst. It's so expensive and it's not even worth it.
-Last Winter, there was no hot water the whole time and they only compensated us with pizza. They only took action when someone reported them to the health department.
-It doesn't feel as safe as it used to be and they don't handle major situations that well.
— They have faulty elevators. I remembered they made us transfer and only one was working.
-It took them almost a month for them to fix the laundry room. I had to go to Sunnyside for laundry as that was their only solution. It's overpriced too. $2.20 for washing then $2 for drying for every load.
-Because I signed a contract, it was very unfair they made me pay $905 for 15 days. It was very sneaky as they told me on the day I was checking out.
Overall, the standards have deteriorated and now that they are going to increase the price to about $1K a month, it's better if you look for another place. The only thing I enjoyed with dorm was meeting new people. Hopefully they improve and understand we're paying so much for good accommodation.

It was we got free breakfast amazing. Amazing laundry machine, broken another quarter-point loss because the scooter you’re not allowed to scooter within the campus. Drop off our scooters on the sidewalk. The doors work well.

Nice residence in a good location in the heart of the City. Students can easily access Downtown Calgary and main parts of the City. Close to C-Train station, bus stops and shopping centres. With that being, not enough parking spots for students who rely on personal cars to drive. Students might have to give up their personal vehicles to be able to live there comfortably.

It is not bad; though it's old building. Good view, convenient go to study at SAIT.

I recently moved into this building and upon moving in I realized I had no power, like an amish man I was forced to break the residence rules and use candlelight to see where I was going, it took them 3 days to simply flip the breaker on my room, the food included in the meal plan is hit and miss with most being either overcooked or completely raw.
Now as for the condition of the rooms, my bathtub plug has probably been in use for the past 20 years as it has gotten so old that it crumbled away in my hands like it was the all-spark in transformers, there was not a single door that wasn’t dented and the couches appeared to have come into contact with a leopard with massive amount of cushion and fabric missing.
Apparently I am not the only one who is having these problems as the waiting list for maintenance is alleged to be two weeks long, for 900$ a month for a 4 bedroom living in a box on campus would make more sense.
