DO
NOT
COME
HERE.
My
partner
and
I
wanted
to
move
into
a
space
in
2017
that
was
consistently
quiet
and
"stress-free"
so
we
could
study
on
the
most
important
and
difficult
degrees
in
our
life
(we
both
are
writing
a
thesis).
So,
we
decided
to
give
LaTrobe
Accommodation
Services
a
try
because
we
heard
they
had
a
postgraduate
building
where
mature
students
could
reside
in
and
study
in
peace
and
quiet,
without
any
external
stress
variables.
So,
when
we
heard
the
words
āquiet
buildingā
and
āmature
studentsā,
we
decided
to
give
it
a
go.
It
sounded
like
the
perfect
environment.
Overall,
our
stay
was
EXTREMELY
DISAPPOINTING.
Was
it
quiet?
No.
Did
the
building
sound
like
it
had
āmature-ageā
students
who
were
working
on
postgraduate
studies?
No.
The
people
in
the
building
were
great,
do
not
get
me
wrong
-
I
had
absolutely
no
problem
with
them.
They
were
respectful
and
kind.
However,
LaTrobeās
accommodation
services
UTTERLY
mislead
us
and
they
should
be
ashamed
of
themselves.
The
contract
specified
a
quiet
building
and
we
did
not
get
one.
We
were
often
kept
up
at
night
from
other
residents
socialising
in
the
lounge
room,
and
despite
LaTrob
Accommodation
Services
consistently
holding
meetings
to
inform
residents
about
the
āquiet
conditionsā,
nothing
changed.
In
fact,
one
night
the
noise
was
so
loud
in
the
lounge
room
we
decided
to
call
the
night
manager.
Instead
of
the
night
manager
telling
the
residents
off
and
asking
them
to
quiet
down
at
1.00am
in
the
morning,
he
spent
thirty
minutes
in
there
chatting
with
them,
resolving
absolutely
nothing
in
the
process.
We
tried
many
times
for
LaTrobe
to
do
something
about
this
and
they
failed
because
they
only
fundamentally
care
about
your
money
and
not
your
wellbeing.
We
were
kept
up
at
night
all
too
often
and
this
is
unacceptable
when
you
are
expected
to
work
on
a
thesis
in
addition
to
working
near-full
time
hours.
If
you
are
wanting
a
quiet,
stress-free
and
secure
space
to
work
on
your
studies,
DO
NOT
come
here.
They
do
not
care
about
your
studies
nor
your
wellbeing.
They
just
want
your
money.
There
was
NOTHING
in
the
contract
that
said
that
people
would
be
getting
drunk
at
1.00am
in
the
morning
on
a
weekdayā¦
I
am
extremely
disappointed
with
LaTrobeās
services.
