“There’s more room in the kitchen, so it can comfortably fit 17 people.”

“There’s a little seating spot in the kitchen.”

“The tap water, so it was actually safe to drink.”

“The place is not actually livable. The accommodation should match what is advertised, instead of squeezing four chairs into a dirty, empty bedroom and calling that a “common room” for eight people. The kitchen also needs way more room and fridge space, because there was basically no space at all. More than anything, the issues should have been dealt with properly when the entire accommodation block complained about their RA. She mentally bullied all of us, threatened us, and then somehow got moved into nicer accommodation for free after blaming us all. Meanwhile, other girls had actual mould in their rooms and still had to pay the difference for accommodation, even though they had no choice but to move. It’s completely ridiculous.”

“The place has rooms that are freshly furnished, and the kitchen and bathrooms feel a lot more modern.”

“The social areas feel better, and the rooms are the same size.”

“Maybe add another kitchen, or make sure the kitchen has enough storage, like more fridges. Another option is to let students keep a mini fridge in their rooms.”

“Cost and the quality of the internet connection”

“Security and the shared spaces could use an upgrade.”

“I really hope you end up with better flatmates. And if the place gets better and helps you all mix more, then it could turn into an amazing experience and help you make new, closer friends.”
