The dorm is generally dead, it has not seen repairs for a long time. All repairs are at the expense of residents, as well as the replacement of plumbing. The rooms are small, it's cold in winter. The windows and balcony frames are terrible, no matter how you insulate them, the wind is still blowing. And a communal apartment is like a good apartment. The only advantage is the location in the city center.
The old cold dormitory. With an expensive kamunalka (there is only one electricity for 300-350 kilowatts). The rooms are very small, 10 sq. m. The walls are frozen. The plumbing is in terrible condition, all repairs and maintenance are at the expense of the residents.
