> The bathroom is really tight. I can barely get into the shower, and it’s hard to move around in there. Even though I’m on the larger side, I’m sure there are people who are bigger than me who wouldn’t be able to fit at all, and that doesn’t feel fair or considerate. I know it’s not the accommodation staff’s fault since they can’t change the building layout, but if management is thinking about renovating, that’s something they should take into account in the Oaks and Pastures.
