“So the doors don’t bang so loudly. And to have thicker walls to cut down on the noise.”
“As an international student, I find the price to be a bit on the pricey side.”
“Another sink, because sharing with 12 people and having only one sink just isn’t enough.”
“The move-in information packs should include more details about the studios, like what you’re supposed to do with food waste and how the vacuums work.”
“More space for each person, or maybe some additional shelving.”
