Where NOT to live?

The Biggs Building- floods with raw sewage, broken windows, people banging on windows

An actual QUIET apartment complex?

I lived for a year in the Biggs Building across the street from Cobra Cabana. 2nd floor. It was the quietest apartment I’ve been in despite it being a majority college kids

[Housing Wanted] 1br/1bth close to VCU campus that accepts large dogs

I walked by the Biggs building yesterday and there was a really big dog in one of the apartments. I don't know their official policy but someone was getting away with it, and they also have 1bedrooms that are reasonably priced for a 1bed around here.
