University students have slammed campus bosses for charging £150-a-week for 8x10ft 'pod' accommodation they claim is 'not fit for humans'.

The University of West England installed 21 en-suite 'pods' in one of the university's car parks last month in order to meet increased demand.

But the units have been branded 'appalling' and 'not mentally viable' by some of the students living there, some of which have already moved out just one month in.

First year students at UWE living in its Purbeck Court complex say they have been taunted by their peers for 'not living in real accommodation'.

One snowflake moves out. Big story. I imagine electric, water and internet are included. Private bathroom.
Some people just need a good slapping.

I would be thrilled to have a room like that and not have to share it with some roommate or deal with sharing a bathroom.

Shoot, slap another rack above the one already in there, take out the head and shower, remove the desk and then paint the while thing pea green and you’d have a Jr Officer State Room aboard a cruiser or destroyer! Comfy!

Did you grow tired of Ramen Noodles? I did except for the ‘shrimp flavored’ sort.

RE the spool table...I never had one and my father was an electrician! He had a couple out in the backyard until they rotted. In my college years (after the US Navy, I bit the bullet and bought a real table and chairs from a discount store. Cheap, particle board base wIth Formica top, but sturdy. The vinyl covered chairs are long gone but I STILL use the table as a desk. Still have some milk crates from those days too. Real milk crates...the kind that say “Property of XYZ Dairy.”.

It’s a motel room with a private bath, and no roommates...sign me up.

I couldn’t afford Ramen Noodles. There was a place I could eat for 35 cents a plate. You can imagine the food quality! Ramen Noodles would have been a big splurge!

Bigger spaces equals more damage to the planet. Why do these people hate the planet? They are worse than Hitler. /Super-liberal mode

I would like the bed fold onto a sofa during the day but it looks fine. They should embrace the pod people nickname, make tshirts etc and flip the negative.
