MEANINGFUL SCORING: STAR RATING vs RAW vs ALL
Each category, question or landlord has a star rating that reflects how they compare to ALL surveys for the current date period. For example, a landlord may score a RAW average of 4.54 but that will not necessarily yield an excellent 5 star RATING. The star RATING reflects the comparison of the RAW average to the average of ALL surveys using some fraction of the standard deviation. For example, if the ALL surveys average is 3.5662, with st. dev. 1.4082, you actually need a RAW average of ~4.63 or higher for a 5 stars RATING.
Basically, you should interpret the RATING as Poor, Fair, Average, Good or Excellent based on 1 to 5 stars. For example if the rating is Good (4 stars), the landlord has a good score compared to others surveyed.

2009-02-10  It`s a good place to live. Walls are thin, so can hear neighbors if they are loud. Expensive. Can (and should) negotiate a limit to automatic yearly rent increases before you sign lease, otherwise they will increase a lot at end of lease. Back to top | |||
2009-02-09  There are a lot of Wharton people in the building and it`s a great location -- easy access to Center City and school -- I can walk to both. The staff is really friendly and helpful! Back to top | |||
| 2008-11-19 Very responsive, high ceilings make apartments feel very large, very friendly doormen. Back to top | |||
| 2008-11-18 The building is great, I have no complaints about the quality or the service. Its a bit pricy but you definitely get a lot for you money. Back to top | |||
