Cartmel Residences (ensuite with wet room)

“In the kitchen, having light switches with light sensors can be really annoying.”

“Maybe the flatmates are a bit more friendly and outgoing.”

“The maintenance staff and cleaners have better attitudes overall, and we do keep the place clean. That said, the cleaner seems to do very little besides spending time in our kitchen on her phone. A lot of our kitchen appliances are broken in one way or another, and it feels like the maintenance team doesn’t really take it seriously. We were also told we couldn’t decorate the windows, which is fair enough, but we were expected to follow the emails right away. Meanwhile, they don’t seem to care about replying to our reports.”

“The shower design isn’t great, because the floor ends up getting soaked after you’re done. And even when the radiators are turned off, the place stays extremely warm.”

“I feel like the housing buildings should allow or even include some kind of pet, because having animals around could really boost students' well-being.”

“It’s way pricier than renting in town, like around 150% of what many of my colleagues pay. And honestly, the ammenities and how close it is to campus just do not justify that kind of difference in cost.”
