“The room had no bugs, and the sink didn’t end up smelling. I also liked that the freezer space is larger, there’s more storage overall, and the room layout just makes more sense. Plus, the window is bigger too.”

“To be honest, the WiFi needs improving. It often drops out when I switch off some of my devices. That usually happens on my laptop. On my phone, it can happen too, but it’s not as frequent, and it will still sometimes disconnect even while I’m using it. Compared to my laptop, though, both phones disconnect from the WiFi much less often. With my laptop, I’m constantly having to reconnect every day.”
“I really hope they get the place fixed up soon.”
“I wish the lighting was a bit brighter.”
“It feels overpriced for the amount of space you actually get, and I wish there were more closet/storage room.”
“Keeping the fridge and freezer separate just doesn’t seem to work. The freezer runs way too cold, but the fridge stays too warm.”
“I’ve been setting up social events so I can meet other students here.”
“I hate when staff walk into my room without asking. They always slip in and call it a room inspection. They never give us any clear standards, they just tell us we failed. And then they make the cleaner pay for the cleaning, even though we already keep our room clean.”
“I really wish there was an oven in the kitchen, and I also wish there was a guide or manual explaining how to use the microwave and grill combo.”
“The soundproofing toward the street is better, and since I’m on the top floor, that’s a big plus. I also like how well the hot and cold water can be balanced, both for the tap and the radiator. That said, the radiator hardly does anything during the day, but in the evening it gets really hot even when it’s set to the highest level.”
