cramped dorm roominsufficient ventilation

the dorm room was cramped, honestly. the bathroom was tiny too, especially with so many people sharing it. and to top it off, there wasn't enough ventilation, so the room got super stuffy and uncomfortable. i wouldn't recommend the dorms to anyone after that experience.
