“I’d love to see more color in the rooms and the dorms overall. Right now everything is mostly white and black, so when you first move in it feels more like a hotel than a real home.”
“I do appreciate that most things are covered in the rent, and I get why laundry isn't, probably because it’s part of a contract and they don’t have much control over it. Still, it really stings having to pay this much and then paying £6.50 every week for a wash and dry.”
“I wish we had a combined microwave and oven, and also recycling bins in the kitchen.”
“Having the fire alarms going off all the time is really frustrating.”
“I know the noise can be a lot, but considering where it’s located, I understand it would be really hard to make this adjustment.”
“The way the lightning is set up in here feels really odd, and it’s giving me a headache.”
“- it would be nice if there was a cap on how often you can reserve spots in the building - maybe adding a draft beer option at the bar could get more people interested in the events - karaoke nights - more storage space”
“I wish there were more washing machines and tumble dryers for doing laundry.”
“Stop doors from letting noise through, or use any other approach to keep sounds from other rooms from carrying into the rest of the house.”
