“A much nicer place to sit in the kitchen now”
“The kitchen really should have an actual table, somewhere everyone can comfortably gather. Right now the breakfast bar setup is pretty awful, and those high chairs cause real back pain if you sit in them for more than about five minutes. It feels like the entire space is made for one person to cook, grab a quick bite for no more than five minutes, and then disappear back to their room for some quiet.”
“The place was generally clean, but I think they could provide a few more starter supplies right when students first move in.”
“Doors that are quieter and don’t slam shut.”
“Easier control over the temperature”
“The mattress on the bed is fine, but my radiator pipes keep making noises.”
“Put in a microwave and a dishwasher for the kitchen. Also, make the showers run warmer, because the water never really gets hot.”
“I had the walls and hallways soundproofed.”
“The bookshelf in the hallway is placed right in front of the seating area, so you basically can’t sit comfortably at a computer. On top of that, it’s way too pricey for what you actually get.”
