The dormitories had already operated for nine years, meanwhile, there are still many critisizms and complaints which came from the students. Mostly, they complained about the most needed facilities, such as: wifi, which is insufficient for all students, the unavailable water supply in bathroom which make a difficulty for students before going to campus, the light is oftenly off and there are no kitchen in the dorms. These things are really annoying. Besides, the complaint is not only coming from the local students, but also the international students.

“I live in 5^th floor. It’s nice to live here, but the facilities in my dorm, it’s a little disturbing. Often no water, power outage, and no kitchen in my room. I hope a better facility” said Angela, International students who live in orange dormitory.

On the other hand, the representative of the dorm confessed that she had asked the official of dormitory to mend and add more facility, but it is difficult to get the realization because the official is not care enough.

“We are as the responsible person have asked the official many times to do the reparation and add some facilities, but until now I get no response from the official.” said Z.

So, when will these complaints disappear? Will the dormitories involve in actualized the dream of Unand to be the World Class University?
