keep SD3 clean

Whats up with the red liquid (juice?) spilled all over the floor in front of the 1st floor elevator? And why is the liquid splattered all over the walls as well?!

I understand there isn't a communal mop, or other cleaning supplies...so all the more reason not to throw juice on the walls. c'mon, we all have to live in this place, so let's try to keep it clean. The housekeepers/cleaners are not your personal servants. They're here to help keep the place reasonably clean.

This goes for the kitchen too. Why not put your garbage in the garbage can?! What's so hard about that? why do some people feel the need to leave onion scraps all over the table and floor?

again, we're all sharing this place, so act responsibly.

Sorry, Rich. I just had some spear red juice and was tired to store it.

I think it looks quite nice on the walls. Sorry, I guess you have no feeling of style, do you?

Btw, it is called interior watercoloristics 8]

haha, sure, but I prefer to decorate the inside of my room instead.

Yeah, and while we are on the topic - what about all those people who don't bother to shower or wash for weeks or months? Stepping into the elevator after they have been in, or playing against them in sport is very disgusting. If it's a money-saving issue, well, there are free showers that they can use in the gym. There is no excuse for awful hygiene - we all have to live here together...

Sounds a little harsh on the personal hygiene issue, don't forget that certain people and cultures have different standards of cleanliness.

Maybe in some countries water conservation is more important than taking daily showers due to their geographic or environmental situation. Anyway, as long as it's not excessively unhygienic (i.e. hazardous to their health, or the health of others around them) then it should be fine.

Also, Rich makes an excellent point about ethics and morality which seem to be lacking in IUJ students as soon as they enter the Dormitory Kitchens.

Different standards of cleanliness is one thing you can we could be somewhat lenient on in personal hygiene, but as I said, when it affects the hygiene of others is where to draw the line, and garbage laying around getting moldy or causing bacteria is not healthy for ANYONE.

Actually I totally agree with the kitchen comments - it is awful to have to cook in there sometimes.

On the personal hygiene issue: the first comment was quite insensitive...but...we should remember that cultural respect works both ways.

Different cultures do have different standards of cleanliness I suppose, but we ALL should be respected. Those from countries that have high standards of cleanliness should not be pushed aside to make way for respecting those who don't. There must be some compromise.

Who's right is more important?

In addition, to put it rather crudely, with no offense intended, we should remember that I don't bother anyone by not smelling, but the reverse is not true.

Daaayyyyuum people, you're scaring me
Noone mentioned these kinds of problems in brochure :)
I'm gonna be joining IUJ this fall....I'd really appreciate if someone could shortly describe the everyday life in IUJ and the other stuff from the ordinatry student perspective so that the new generation of students could be a little prepared for the inconvenices (smells, local shop, non-heated gym and etc.)
