You should leave the heater running all day, because the room gets really cold.

Hacer encuentros de comunicación antes, para que quienes van a vivir allí puedan ir conociéndose. Así cada grupo de estudiantes se integrará mucho mejor.

The mattress for the bed is way better. The lighting is better too.

The only thing I’d change about the place is the soundproofing between rooms. You can still hear noise from next door, and it gets pretty annoying. Other than that though, everything is fine.

Get larger refrigerators. The current ones feel way too cramped for how many people use them.

The WiFi is really fast and strong, and it could probably handle a few more fridges in the kitchen too.

Noise level was the main issue. There was so much loud noise coming from upstairs that it really bothered me, and I think it could be fixed if they addressed it. Other than that, the place itself is good, but the biggest problem is the noise from the room above.

The lights in the room are fine, but I’d really rather have white lights than the yellow or warm white ones. I find that warm light a bit depressing.
