Single 2LT here, I'm considering moving on post (Allen Heights presumably) and I want to get an idea of your experience with your neighbors, housing quality, Corvias, etc. so I know what to expect.

Currently live in an apartment in Daleville. It's a good place with a really close commute, and the 600 ft2 is more than enough space for me (don't own much stuff/furniture). I also save a lot in rent. I just don't like the surrounding area and want to be somewhere with a better sense of community/safety. It'd also be nice to not have to worry about min-maxing my utility expenses.

Especially for those living without roommates, do you think it's worth the BAH? Was there anything you were surprised by, or anything you found out only after moving in?

I recently moved into a new apartment and tried baking cookies a couple times. Even when following the recipes' exact ratios, my cookie dough would always turn out much softer than they should be (almost to the point of a liquidy texture).

My two leading theories are either that my melted butter is too warm, or the apartment's poor circulation (i.e., cold air from AC doesn't reach the kitchen) is causing the dough to be soft -- I'm leaning towards the latter I've been adding some extra flour to try to compensate, but I'm sure that'll cause the cookies to come out differently from the recipe.

Any suggestions for how to deal with this? I've heard baking is a science, which is why I'm hesitant to "intuitively" add extra flour until the dough firms up. Is it even a problem as long as I'm chilling my dough and baking them after they firm up in the fridge?
