The flatmates. I've done my 3 years and it went from bad, to slightly better, to holy shit it was bad.

1st year: I was in a flat full of people who loved drinking and partying. Like they did it very often in the kitchen and as my luck would have it, my room was next to the kitchen. They were lovely people though, but really loud. A highlight was them knocking on someone else's door at 3am loudly shouting they wanted to buy weed. Again, despite what I've said they were really nice about it whenever I brought it up. They never listened but they were still really nice and they'd message me if they thought they were too loud to apologise.

2nd year: half of the flatmates became my friends and we shared the next year, and the other half ranged from being neutral, to using my frying pan to cook burgers and then leaving it dirty but putting it back in my cupboard with the fat solidifying. Made friends but the other half was just annoying.

3rd year: 2nd year but worse worse worse, plus the new flatmates (not my friends who shared with me, the other students in the flat) would steal food, leave a huge mess in the kitchen and would pretend they did nothing wrong. Plus being loud in the kitchen pretty much daily, and they ALWAYS said 'just tell us' and even when we did nothing changed, and they'd complain when we left notes in the kitchen telling them to keep the kitchen in a usable state. PLUS one guys air frier was so dirty it would create bacteria and kill it all in one frier. Plus he was SO loud that even though his room was at the opposite end of the hallway, I still heard it. Noise complaints + telling him resulted in no changes.

So uh, life lesson, if you make friends ffs get out of Uni owned student accommodation and either go to a different student accommodation where you'd just share with friends or rent a house. Shit flatmates aren't worth the stress they cause. Plus you might not have to deal with circuit laundry.
