Calico

“The shared spaces are brilliant, especially the cinema and the sky lounge, which feel really high quality. The study areas are super stylish and really nice to look at, and it makes it much easier to have friends over to watch films and play games downstairs. The bedroom is pretty small and feels a bit cramped, but the room and bathroom are still really lovely. The only thing is the design and colour choices are a bit questionable. The kitchen is a little on the small side too, but the overall quality is great. Even with a few issues, the maintenance team is still on it.”

“I can usually hear the people who are above and beside me because they keep their music really loud pretty much all week, including weekends. I get that it’s their problem, not something the staff or the building is doing.”

“The rooms, especially downstairs, could use a bit more decoration since they feel rather plain. It’s not a huge problem, but it would be great to have a bit more color.”

“The ongoing maintenance problems across the entire apartment building.”

“Sometimes there are people who aren’t living in the calico, and they come in anyway.”

“They handle maintenance problems way better.”

“Honestly, I’ve complained about this a lot. People keep using the Sky Lounge and blasting loud music, and they’re screaming even during exam period. Also, it’s not actually closed at 11, despite what it says. I raised it multiple times, but nothing changed, and the staff were rude to me right from the start. Because of that, I asked the university for help, and I’ve agreed to move out next week.”
