The Markle

Salman Bin Habib

My cousin lived there for almost two years, and she loved it!

Susana who processes applications, is not helpful. She takes her time to reply to emails and is very evasive/“busy” when you call. I finally received an email reply saying I was put on a ‘waitlist’ although she previously told me to submit my application because rooms were available and therefore I had agreed to pay the $200 application fee. I would not suggest staying here. The way I was treated during the application process and the lack in communication was extremely unprofessional. Unfortunately, Columbia University admins had recommended The Markle to me as an out-of-state student so I believed it would be a respectable place but was very disappointed. I reported the incident to Columbia University admins as well so that hopefully no other student experiences the same mistreatment.

I lived at the Markle for several very happy years in 2011-2012, and 2016-2018. Unfortunately, my experience there went downhill sharply after the departure of Jessica and the instatement of the Orrs. I can no longer recommend that young women live in such a hostile environment, where Marci Orr in particular relishes using her authority to bully and generally make life more difficult for residents. If you're considering the Markle, choose the Webster instead—thankfully, I live there now and it's MUCH cheaper, in addition to being free of the unpleasantness and weirdness that now pervades goings-on at the Markle.
