“Sorry, I’d hold off. I wouldn’t say it’s properly handled. The reception is supposed to be 24/7, and there are security guards on site 24/7, but the fire alarms keep going off randomly at night only. When that happens, it feels like nobody is there to stop it, so the alarms just keep ringing for long periods. Honestly, it’s really annoying, especially because a lot of students are trying to revise at night. The constant fire alarm noise, triggered by the lieutenants, makes it even worse.”
