“Honestly, I think the main thing that could be better is the showers, because they don’t actually have showerheads.”
“Having our own en-suite bathroom”
“I’m not completely certain, but I honestly like all of it.”
“We moved into the room flat with a new mattress and blinds, but they weren’t properly checked beforehand, so they broke. The lights…”
“The bathrooms are way better, especially the showers.”
“If I could tweak one thing, it would be getting more people around. Right now it feels pretty empty. There are about 10 houses on our street, but only two are actually being used, so it’s not exactly lively. We do chat with the neighbors next door, but that’s basically it. There are also people in the flats across the way, and I know a few of them, but we don’t really interact much because the place just isn’t that busy. So overall, it doesn’t really feel like there’s a strong sense of community, which would be nice to change. Other than that, I suppose the only other thing is that it could be a bit closer to central campus. It would make it easier to get to lectures and sports facilities and things like that. But at the same time, you choose your accommodation knowing where it is, so that’s on you. Overall though, I think it’s pretty good.”
“Sometimes washing up is just awful, maybe we should get a dishwasher.”
“There are a few spots on the walls in the kitchen and hallways that look damaged, and it makes everything seem worn out. It really needs to be fixed.”
“It feels like the security and maintenance crew is always on site. They show up at the townhouse without calling first.”
“Once you get out of the building site area, it won’t be anywhere near as bad. After it’s finished, you’ll be fine.”
