“Better support, and less sexist. Actually listen to your residents when they come to you with a problem instead of brushing them off. Also, the flats are better. I’m a woman living alone with two men, and it should not be like that.”

“It would be great if the beds or mattresses were a little more comfortable.”

“As you’d probably expect, the student housing isn’t exactly a top tier place to live. You can spot black mould in almost every bedroom and kitchen. A few of the kitchen appliances, like the ovens and stoves, also don’t seem to work the way they should. Other than that, though, everything else is really lovely!”

“Windows could open up even more”

“When we first moved into the flat, the bins were still packed from the previous tenants and we were also missing a sofa. They sorted it out eventually, but it definitely wasn’t a great first impression. The mould in the bathroom was pretty nasty too.”

“Incredible soundproofing between the floor and the ceiling”

“I don’t want to be stuck living in a room that’s full of mold.”

“The elevators keep failing.”

“The dryers in the laundry room are way better, but my clothes never seem to dry, and I can only run a 50-minute cycle.”

“The lighting in the room is really irritating. It has those yellow bulbs, and I just can’t stand it.”
