“In the kitchen, having light switches with light sensors can be really annoying.”
“The maintenance staff and cleaners have better attitudes overall, and we do keep the place clean. That said, the cleaner seems to do very little besides spending time in our kitchen on her phone. A lot of our kitchen appliances are broken in one way or another, and it feels like the maintenance team doesn’t really take it seriously. We were also told we couldn’t decorate the windows, which is fair enough, but we were expected to follow the emails right away. Meanwhile, they don’t seem to care about replying to our reports.”
“I feel like the housing buildings should allow or even include some kind of pet, because having animals around could really boost students' well-being.”
“The bathroom shower is only divided off with a shower curtain, so every time you shower the entire bathroom floor ends up getting wet.”
“Sure, I can do that, but I’ll need the actual review text you want me to rewrite. Paste it here and tell me where you study (like the school name or area), and I’ll rewrite it so it fits that setting while keeping the same meaning and tone.”
“Maybe the flatmates are a bit more friendly and outgoing.”
“The shower design isn’t great, because the floor ends up getting soaked after you’re done. And even when the radiators are turned off, the place stays extremely warm.”
“It’s way pricier than renting in town, like around 150% of what many of my colleagues pay. And honestly, the ammenities and how close it is to campus just do not justify that kind of difference in cost.”
“Pest control has a major issue with rats hanging around by the bins, and it honestly feels like nobody’s dealing with it. Bathroom floods every single time I shower, so I can’t use the bathroom without soaking my feet. It takes around 4 to 6 hours after I shower for it to dry out enough.”
“Kitchen could be improved with a gas hob, and I really wish there was more room in the fridge and on the counters.”
