“My place is basically the cheapest option on campus, but I still feel like it’s wildly overpriced. The university keeps raising the rent year after year, and honestly it’s not worth what they’re charging now. The problem is there really aren’t any real alternatives, so it feels like they know we’re stuck with it.”

“Improve airflow, install a higher-quality carpet, switch to a more durable mattress, upgrade the heating system, add soft-close doors, and have pest control come treat the kitchen for spiders.”

“The one part of my bathroom I’m not really happy with is the faucet.”

“The toilet in the bathroom is really cramped, and the sink is too shallow, so when you wash your face, the water ends up splashing all over the floor.”

“The room feels pretty cut off, especially because of the windows. You can actually feel the air coming through. And about the noise, it’s really loud. The doors slam, and you can hear everything through the walls and windows too. The bedroom in particular doesn’t block out the noise from outside at all.”

“I wish there was a bit more room in the kitchen because it can feel a little tight sometimes.”

“The curtains are much better, and they do a great job blocking out the noise.”

“I wanted a chair that felt more comfortable, and a bed that was a little bigger.”

“This new kettle is much better. The old one kept leaking, and I never even realized it had holes, so water would end up on the floor and all over the surfaces.”

“The bathroom was pretty bad. My tub was cracked, and while I was showering, the water would splash everywhere. It felt unsafe because I could easily slip and fall. The sink was also full of hair, and the windows were not clean at all. On top of that, there were tons of dead bugs stuck in the window area.”
