Accommodation room tour
🕑 Added 2024-08-30 16:52:37 +0000 UTCA quick tour of the accommodation I was staying in while in Edinburgh.
It's student accommodation - although it's also used by visiting labour and tourists.
There's a sign in the room that basically says "Manage your expectations - this is not a hotel."

got everything you need, apart from room to move. 🤣 typical NYC hotel suit. 2x👍

This is an affront to both students and employees, the schools and employers are taking their profit out of our life experience. I stayed in a similar student accomodation when sent to do research in Australia at CSIRO (leading research and engineering institute), except the bathroom and shower was shared. I upgraded at my own cost (especially to get air conditioning, Austrailia can be hot!) and shamed Dartmouth College into paying for it. It is particularly bad to be teaching students that it is ok to treat people poorly (you mentioned silverfish in a previous video). Don't stay with a job just because it's easier to stay, look for something better, you deserve it. Though if you like the people you work with that is a consideration also. Particularly as a professional you should be treated better, insist on it. It should be part of the contract. People are not something to be bulk packaged at the lowest cost. Next thing you know they'll be genetically engineering people to be 4 feet high so they can fit twice as many in the same building site (Genesis lyric reference).

That's nicer - and not much smaller - than the room in uni residence I shared with another fellow. Oh, and the bathrooms/showers/etc were in the next building.

That's why we always choose the top floor.

The tricky bit is avoiding getting too much stuff while I'm there.

Bet it's tidier than yours on the IOM......

Looks about 25% smaller than the room I had at Hull, some 45 years ago. And we had carpet ! Oh, wait - they've wasted a load of space on a shower room. We only had a sink.

Reminds me of my time at Bath Uni. Kept awake by noise from extra curricular activities emanating from the floor above!

It's bulk student accommodation.

Next year tell them you need extra cash to cover a hotel since they expect you to live in a closet.

Very compact. Thanks for sharing Big Clive.

Is that building a hotel or some other purpose built accommodation?
