“I really need a better bed, or at least a dependable vacuum cleaner for the rooms, since my room hasn’t been vacuumed in months.”
“To get the heating system going.”
““I was hoping for a wider range of people and more of a mix in the flats, plus more events focused on accommodation so residents could actually connect. But the place felt pretty cut off, and there wasn’t much chance to meet the people next door, which made it hard to form any real relationships in the building.””
“The drive time to get to school.”
“I’m on the top floor, and there aren’t any elevators, so when I move in and on grocery days, I really struggle a lot carrying everything up.”
“For the bigger units, I think the place should swap out the fridge and freezer. In my experience, having only a small shelf in a small fridge makes it really hard to fit all my food and personal items.”
“Putting the door in the bathroom instead of having a wet-floor setup would be really helpful for keeping the whole space clean. When you shower right now, the water just spreads all over the bathroom. With the door in place, it would be a lot easier to contain it and manage the area.”
“The heating system isn’t working the way it should.”
“Please get us a larger bed, and swap the basin tap for a mixer tap so it’s easier to manage the water temperature.”
“The place isn’t actually bad, and the room is pretty good, but the kitchen is way too small for seven people. There are only two tiny fridges and an oven that doesn’t work properly. As for the flatmates, aside from one person, they’re pretty unhygienic, loud, messy, and just not considerate.”
