What was your worst experience while in college?


During the summertime we keep our apartment and pay for it but we still go home and stay with our parents. Last summer, we went home and left our apartment for the summer. I don't think we ever drove up to check on it. So, it's a week before school starts and I went to take some stuff down here. Our ceiling in our kitchen had been replaced. I noticed one of our pans was rusted out, too. Nobody ever called us to tell us something happened in our apartment. There was green dust in our bathroom all over the toilet and the sink. I finally called the people we rented from and asked them. She said that the apartment flooded and the water sat in the house for a month or a month and a half in the summer with no air. We started looking and we found mold everywhere. I had to spend the first week or two of school cleaning the entire apartment with bleach. We had been there for a week before we opened the top of the stove and realized that it was full of black mold.
