“It’s basically just the simple issue that sometimes the staff aren’t around during the hours they are supposed to be. Now the message seems to be saying we’re only staffed Monday through Wednesday, which means deliveries and parcels are going to be delayed.”

“A much nicer shared space for everyone who lives here”

“The lighting isn’t strong enough for studying.”

“I wish there were more of a social vibe, and that there were people closer to my age staying in my place.”

“There are more chances to meet people, it would be great if they could make better use of some of the facilities they already have to help everyone socialize.”

“There’s a homeless shelter close by, and a lot of the time there are sketchy people lingering around the neighborhood. I’d really appreciate it if the place could reach out to the shelter and help set up some extra security.”

“The maintenance process could be quicker.”

“The quality of the kitchen items, like the Hoover and the iron, is really good.”

“There’s constant noise coming from outside the building, all day and night. My room looks out over the street and the hospital, so it never really quiets down.”

“This little room is so cramped. They act like they know the course I’m studying, and the photos and videos they showed me do not match the size of the space at all. The space they offer just does not work for an architecture student. The desks look bigger in the pictures than they actually are, so I’ve ended up with my bed covered in A2 paper because there isn’t enough room for a laptop and paper. I’ve basically been stuck in here since September, and since COVID started, I would not have moved into this room if I had known how small it is.”
