slow elevators fire alarm
The elevators seemed perpetually slow. I waited ages. One morning, the fire alarm blared, sending everyone scrambling outside. It turned out to be just a drill. A heads-up would have been nice. The room itself felt a bit cramped, honestly.

my room felt quite dated and the bathroom fixtures looked rather old. the shower pressure was also pretty weak. i asked for toothpaste and waited an hour and a half, even after reminding them three times... pretty ridiculous.
