I am a student at OSU and have lived here for the past 2 years. Whenever I have a problem, Ed and the boys take care of me. Mrs. G, the new manager, is awesome!!! She's always so kind to me and answers any questions I have. She's also the kind of woman who won't take any BS, which is an admirable trait to have. So don't upset her! She'll do anything to try and make your stay pleasant, all you have to do is ask. Sadly, the washer and dryer are no longer in service so you have to go in town to a laundromat. Also, the wifi works pretty well since she had a newer system put in. Be warned that the wifi is satellite wifi so it's naturally slower. I've enjoyed staying here and as a single, young college lady, I've felt quite safe out here. Y'all should also know that though Ed can be a cranky, old man, he's lived an interesting life to make him the way he is. He's yelled at me before and I didn't appreciate it at all!! He works hard and doesn't make time for any BS. If you look past his extremely rough exterior and rudeness, you'll find a man who will actually give you the shirt off his back. If you respect him then he'll respect you. I say this about him because I've actually gotten to know him, unlike most people. The first time you speak with him, ask him what he's done in his lifetime. He has the most incredible stories you won't believe but they're actually true!! (I've double checked some of his stories because they were so out there.) If you just ask him about his life or how his day is going, it's amazing how nice he can be when someone shows they care. I believe that's how most people are. So to deal with Ed, just be nice and respectful. You don't have to agree with him, just remember he's human too. And he pretty much always talks in a gruff, stern voice so he seems mean from the get go. To sum this up: my stay here has been nice overall, Ed has a tendency to be cranky but he's really nice if you get to know him and Mrs. G is super sweet!

Note: Ed is Mr. Whitehead and Mrs. G is Mrs. Whitehead. I've gotten to know both of them very well and they're like grandparents to me now so I call them what I'm comfortable with. They're both very nice people. Ed just takes a while to warm up to people.
