“It’s pretty decent overall. The location is really handy for socialising since it’s right in the middle of town, so you can easily pop over to the pubs and any socials that are going on. The main downside is how far it is from the sports centre and Aldi. Aldi is especially annoying because it means you either end up paying a bit extra or making a longer trip to get there. I usually walk to Aldi, but it takes ages, even so it’s still definitely worth it. As for Gannochy itself, it’s fine, but it’s quite ugly.”

“I’d say they should add more kitchens so everyone doesn’t have to use the exact same one.”
“I like that I can switch the kitchen lights off.”
“I really like that this floor has a bigger social area. The other floors seem to have more space too, with plenty of spots to sit and chat. That said, even though there is a study area, not everyone enjoys having to walk downstairs just to hang out.”
“Being able to switch the lights off”
“Nobody really talks to each other, because the only shared space is the reading room, and everyone keeps it totally quiet.”
