One student’s viral video of her neglected university home featured a leaky lightbulb, small shower, and construction sites in the garden.
Ami McGivney, who is studying at the University of Worcester, lives in the £115-a-week property with four friends and took to TikTok to document the bizarre local accommodation.
This amusing video shows one her housemates getting into a tiny, unattached shower. There is also a skirting board that doesn’t connect, some washing hanging from the table and a door with no handle.
After the announcement, the voiceover states: ‘Things within our unihouse that just make sense’. The video then pans to each feature.

According to the 21-year old, “We thought that all students have this experience and then move into an older university house.”
“It was lighthearted humor to make the most of a difficult situation. He was a great landlord and he solved all our problems right away.
‘We pay £115 per week including bills so it’s really good for where we’re based,’ she concluded.
This video was viewed over 107,000 times on Facebook and many users commented on it.
Amusing footage shows her and one of her friends squeeze into a small shower. She also has a broken skirting board, laundry hanging from the table, and a door that doesn’t have a handle.
One commented, “Hilarious. It’s amazing that landlords let students live in this way. It was the same when I went to university.
Another commenter stated that he would be happy to contact Environmental Health about this matter. One person commented, “If it were only the leaky bulb,” and another stated, “I would not have moved in,”
But others also saw the humorous side. One commented: “The giggles make the whole thing 10x better.” Another commentator said: “University… those were the days!”
This video has been viewed over 107,000 times on Facebook. Users were quick to make comments about the dangerous home.
Ami said, “We were stunned at the number of people it reached. We thought that it would be shared with our families and friends.
“It made us feel better about the home. It was also nice to have other students interested.
Rachel Cartwright was Ami’s 21 year old roommate. She added, “Ami and me have been friends since ten years. We have always made videos together.” We thought only our friends would see it, it’s crazy how big it went.’
