£64 a week to live in a sh*thole -
March 16th 2010, 04:46 PM
I am seriously getting annoyed with living in university halls. Between 11 of us, we have a tiny kitchen (approx 3.5X2 metres). We have 2 small fridges and 1 freezer whichis ridiculous for the amount of peopel using them. We have 2 toilets, 1 shower(which frequently breaks) and 1 bath. Our internet is limited to approx 2 hours of video (not sure how much that is). I have found silverfish in my room. One girl had bedbugs. The kitchen is consistently filthy. I have purchased a TV lisence and a TV aerial and surprise surprise - there's no goddamn signal!!! Is it really too much to ask to even watch TV or have a hot shower every day?
My block isn't even that bad compared to others, which have damp, broken windows etc. My neighbour had her room broken into last month. Not because she left her room unlocked or because she left the window opne, but because someone kicked a hole into the wall of her room. The wall underneath her window was mdf with a pvc panel over it. what happened to brick walls? Who on earth could possibly think that it's fair to provide such ridiculous living conditions? No adult would pay to live somewhere like this, but somehow it's okay because I'm a student? My house that I've sorted out for next year is £54 a week and the price includes a dishwasher, washing maching, tumble dryer, free wifi, landline phone and sky. Why is it so difficult for universities to provide a decent standard of accomodation? Arghh - sorry for the rant lol just very frustrated haha |

I understand how frustrated you are but seriously your rent is pretty good! I'm going to Uni next year and I'll be paying £90 a week for that
 I don't understand why it's so expensive or why they can't provide basic things. Or make sure there is no damp etc! Have you made an official complaint? Bed bugs and stuff is a health concern, if they don't do anything you could always report them to the local councel or something. (RAH)² + (AH)³ + RO(MA + MAMA) + (GA)² + OOH + (LA)² = Bad Romance
Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one. It's fine to be proud of it. But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around. And PLEASE don't try and shove it down my throat. |

I had that last year in halls and I paid over 90. Upside was I had an ensuite shower and a double bed.
This year I pay 67 for a house share with my friends and it's even worse. We have serious damp problems in our bathroom and our kitchen has literally fallen apart. It's awful. I can't wait until September when I move into decent accommodation at the cheap cheap price of 56 a month
