Academic House

“The place feels cleaner, there are more outlets, and the staff are around more often.”

“I’d love to see more community meetups, plus a study room and an on-site gym facility.”

“They’ve improved how things are managed and they’re putting more resources into maintenance.”

“We need a manager who’s responsible, approachable, genuinely kind, and not creepy, and who can actually work full time. Our earlier manager, Mr Pushkar, was way too trusting of the former STUDENT WARD (who is still staying here). He gave that STUDENT WARD authority that wasn’t his, so the STUDENT WARD could come into any floor and into anyone’s room whenever he wanted, using a master key. I’m not sure whether this was ever brought up to HQ, but his careless actions have really shaken up a lot of the students living here. Also, it’s pretty obvious that the current manager can’t commit to full time Monday through Friday at this place. Because of that, students have to depend on cleaners and repair staff to receive parcels.”

“Me gustaría que hubiera muchos más detalles, especialmente para que se sienta más agradable el uso de los espacios comunes. También mejoraría la iluminación exterior del edificio y, de paso, la calidad de las aceras.”

“Having more events for students who live in the accommodation together really helped create a stronger sense of community.”

“There are probably more chances to join events and hang out with the other students since everyone seems really nice. Also, the movie night setup is great, I really love movie nights.”

“The room’s condition wasn’t great, there were leaks coming from the ceiling.”

“The front door is hard to deal with every day. My flatmate uses a wheelchair, and because the door is not automated, they really struggle getting in and out.”

“In the summer it stays comfortable, and the bike storage and mail handling were all taken care of.”
