Shit in student flats that just make sense

Everyone knows that student flats are just that delightful mix of shitty and chaotic. Let’s face it, there’s often a reason these houses are rented to students rather than fancy, functioning adults. A lot of these flats end up having those little quirks that, well, just make sense. Without further ado, here’s our round up of some of the juiciest oddities and delights.

This window in an upstairs bedroom that just looks out into the lounge.

This bedroom is inside an apartment building. You legally have to have a source of outside light in order to call something a bedroom, so this room has a skylight but also a window that looks out into the lounge. 

Perfect for creeping on your flatties. 

This toilet, which is basically an outhouse. 

This stunning piece of architecture is part of a flat that was split into two dwellings. The back flat needed a toilet, so naturally one was added, using fencing material and plywood for ultimate comfort and privacy. 

At least your booze poos won’t stink up the whole flat! 

This hole being filled by a brick.

The landlord for this property came round with a plumber to fix a blocked drain. The plumber had to drill a hole in their path to get to the pipes. Instead of getting someone to fill the giant hole with you know, cement, he simply put a brick in it. 

The risk of a broken ankle makes entering and exiting this property an extreme sport. 

This flat’s dungeon, including a mysterious rope hanging from the ceiling.

For some reason this is what greets you when you go behind the laundry at this flat. I don’t even want to think about why the rope is there. Definitely creepy, definitely haunted. 

Some sleezy landlord would definitely try and advertise this as an extra bedroom. 

This frosted window that looks into the under part of the house.

To get to this flat you have to walk past this creepy fogged up window. It’s literally just a window into where all the insulation is, why? 

The landlord is definitely living there making sure you don’t break the ‘no pets’ rule. 

This random deer painting that’s a part of the chattels.

Normally when you sign a tenancy agreement you have to promise not to damage stuff that comes with the house, like the washing machine. For some reason these flatmates had to sign their lives away and promise not to move or damage this beautiful piece of art. 

Apparently it moves when you’re not looking??  

This strange dolphin-themed window acting as a walk in wardrobe.

This was clearly meant to be a bathroom, but I guess they ran out of money in their renovation budget, so kept the glass decor but made it into a walk-in wardrobe. 

P.S. Fuck SeaWorld.
