“Maybe it would be nice to have a shared social space in the building or in the surrounding area.”

“Doing laundry can be pretty annoying. It costs a lot, and the dryers usually don’t work anyway.”

“My flatmates are kind of messy, so the shared areas can get pretty bad sometimes.”

“The bathroom and shower are almost impossible to use. The automatic light keeps turning off about 10 times during a typical shower, and the shower itself floods the whole bathroom every time. On top of that, the water doesn’t drain well at all. It’s honestly incredibly frustrating. Also, we were told there would be storage shelves, but they got taken out during the remodel, so now there’s hardly any storage space.”

“I made the space feel brighter by putting in newer, more modern lights and painting the room a lighter color.”

“The walls feel pretty thin, so sometimes roommates end up complaining about the noise. It really just takes a bit more patience, but better soundproofing, especially in the shared areas, would make a big difference.”

“Honestly, I really wish my study table faced the window instead of the wall. I also think the outlets should’ve been put in more convenient spots.”

“The lighting in the bedrooms needs an upgrade. We need brighter light for studying, not that yellow bulb. It’s really hard on the eyes and hurts to look at for long.”

“The sofas are nicer and larger, but there still isn’t enough room for everyone, and they aren’t all that comfortable.”
