“It feels like the soundproofing could be better.”

“The only real thing I’d change is the drainage in the shower. That’s genuinely the only issue I have. I don’t know if it’s something that affects everyone, but in my shower it just doesn’t drain properly. All the dead skin you scrub off builds up around the drain. It never clears away, so when I’m showering it ends up looking like there’s basically a pool of water in there, and I really don’t like that. I know it’s a wet room style bathroom, but I’m still a bit uncomfortable with it because I’m worried it could end up flooding or something. On top of that, there isn’t great ventilation in the shower either. I’m not too bothered about these things day to day, though. It was annoying when I first moved in, but I’ve gotten used to it now, so it’s fine. I also wish I had a newer chair, because the one I’ve got is really old and cracked. Other than that, everything else is pretty minor. Most of the things I’ve just learned to live with. I think the issues are mainly specific to my room, not the accommodation overall.”

“There should be more greenery around campus.”

“The spot itself and the shared hangout areas”

“I’m in a flat that’s for girls only, and the maintenance inspections are done by male staff without warning. The email time window they give is really broad and unclear, and it can stretch out for more than a week. If they had female staff for the girls-only policy, it would feel a lot more comfortable.”

“Outside my room it gets a little loud since it’s right across from a restaurant. I’d also rather have a double bed for when I have guests staying over. Other than that, it’s pretty good. 😊”
