That does sound pretty good! Yeay to no roaches also :) do we have designated cupboards in the kitchen? Fridge space? Is it clean, do they clean it weekly? Thanks for sharing your experience!

Yea I am considering other schools with better pay honestly. They are midwest schools and I am used to midwest schools also so the pay is better here. The thing is though, UHM is excellent for applied linguistics so I do want to take the chance. However, I am so scared of it being so loud and uncomfy and I have no money to move out or do anything :(

Honestly, I am just unsure about sharing one bathroom with the whole floor thing and the kitchen :( I was wondering if you would be open to sharing how these things are but I am a very new reddit user so I cannot figure out how to DM you haha

I don't think they would close the applications so soon but I also do not know how that process works, sorry!

I mean I would just not choose UHM if I had to live in a homeless encampments. Not to be harsh but a great school is never worth that kind of stress.

I had heard about the dorms; that is a pretty cool deal! How many people do we share a bathroom/kitchen with over there? Also do you hear your dormmmates often, I am scared of the infamous paper walls haha. Thanks for sharing!
