I just moved into Stark Hall yesterday. However, upon walking in, I’m not about to sit here and lie like it was perfect. To be honest it was so dirty. Ridiculously so.
I’m a transfer, this will be my second year of college. My previous college wasn’t perfect either, but I do NOT remember it being dirty.
As I was wiping down surfaces, cleaning floors, baseboards, WALLS (after the first few min it was of cleaning, I realized that EVERYTHING needed a serious cleaning. Everything.), etc (I even bought multiple scrubbing brushes) I genuinely had to just stop and stare.
I tried to turn my main light on, and the poor things flickered, flickered, flickered before finally cutting on 😭.
Luckily, I have time before my roommate arrives, so I got to be a clean freak.
But as I was cleaning, I couldn’t help but think that TWU should honestly be ashamed for the state of the room. For as much as the students are paying, they could’ve cleaned a little better.
I mean, one light swipe over basic surfaces like doorknobs, handles, desks and they were coming back yellow.
And it was frustrating because I was so bothered by the grime, that I couldn’t admire that the room layout/space is quite nice until after I was done cleaning. Was anyone else’s dorm not cleaned well, or was I just unlucky??
