What you see is what you get

Tilburg... The city of some houses, a church and a cinema. This nice article describes difficulties that international students encounter after they move in to their rooms. A story of used condoms, and a negligent International Office:

"The International Student Barometer shows that 51 percent of the international students at Tilburg University are satisfied with the accommodation office. This is 15 percent below the Dutch average and 26 percent below the satisfaction levels worldwide. Roos Hogenkamp of the International Office explains they are well aware of the problems."

They have been doing these surveys for the last 10 years. How long will it take to understand that international students are being tortured by bad food and medieval-style low-quality accommodation? Thank you Roos.
