Harbour Court

“I get the feeling that a lot of the events and the signage around the building are aimed mainly at Chinese students, and everyone else is basically overlooked. That can feel really isolating, and it creates a pretty poor sense of community for anyone who is not Chinese or who doesn't already know the culture.”

“Room size and the shared communal areas”

“There aren’t many social areas in the building. We do have a shared lounge, but it’s pretty small, and there’s also an outdoor space, which is honestly never used. When I compare it to other student places in Bristol, the facilities feel lacking, since there’s no proper study room, gym studio, or anything like that.”

“Keeping the shared areas cleaned on a regular basis.”

“Is there a better material for insulating the floor? I’m trying to make it a bit more soundproof, so my upstairs neighbor’s footsteps don’t carry through.”

“I’m not sure I’d want the heater right next to my study desk. If I switch it on, it’ll probably get way too hot for me to sit there and study for a long time. But if I leave it off, then the whole room feels too cold.”
