“The building’s infrastructure could definitely be better. I’ve had ongoing problems with the hot water and the heating.”
“It’s pretty far from the university, and I’d love to see more premium options available for students.”
“We’re always getting told about problems at the very last minute, like power shortages, no water, or false fire alarm alerts. But honestly, it would be a lot better if those issues just didn’t happen in the first place.”
“My flatmates have zero respect for the shared spaces and for the other residents.”
“I’d redesign the shower area. I’d split the toilet and the shower so they’re separate. Even hotels in the UK manage to do this without needing much extra space. Plus, it would give you free control over the heating.”
