“The switch to tap water could be combined so it’s one system. That way, in the winter we can use the warm water instead of having to separate the two.”

“I’d set up a social area for the residents”

“The noise was pretty constant, and there were also people smoking around.”

“The rooms always seem to run way too hot, even all day and night.”

“The flats really need a bigger communal social space. The kitchen sinks also should be larger. A washing machine would be a huge help, and I honestly think most students would pay extra for that. The bed quality is really poor too, it feels like you’re sleeping on rocks. Also, the kitchens need proper ventilation because the doors do not close properly due to the door watcher alarm, so everything gets very hot. When it’s that warm, items spoil faster, and on top of that the fridges are not big enough.”

“It’s a social way to get to know your neighbors better, so you can build a strong, healthy community where everyone looks out for each other.”

“A shared space for everyone in the flats, instead of going into someone else’s place.”

“I’d really like a bigger kitchen.”

“Be in a room that also has a bathroom.”

“We need more washing machines on site, and there should be more social activities too, since most of the socialising happens between the flatmates.”
