Surrey House (Goldsmiths)

“I’d really like to see water fountains and snacks available near the accommodation.”

“You could also include some storage cabinets underneath the study desk.”

“How could it be that I can’t get in and don’t have access to certain windows?”

“There aren’t many washing machines at all, there are only three in the entire hall.”

“I really think I need a bigger fridge. It’s way too cramped for a group of four to share!”

“Honestly, it feels strange that contracts just finish when they do. A lot of us aren’t here only for the “university experience” and don’t really see this as our main home. Some people have moved to London and genuinely treat it like home. Contracts ought to run until a couple of days before the next term’s contract starts, because otherwise where are people supposed to stay over the summer once they’ve moved to London? They don’t exactly get a guided tour of the rooms, so there’s no reason they should be left empty. The other options are massively expensive.”

“If someone feels uneasy about their living space, they should handle it right away and work on fixing the issue. Don’t sit back and wait for it to get worse.”

“I just wish I had more first years living with me. A lot of my flatmates are second years, so I’m not really in the mood to socialise.”

“Great maintenance and plumbing service.”

“The kitchen setup is way better. The toilets are in much better shape too. And there are more chances to get together and socialize.”
