My flatmates and their guests are always taking over the kitchen. What can I do?
It is important that all shared facilities are used fairly and with consideration for all residents. Occassionally, some flatmates may want to cook for guests in the kitchens. This is fine so long as it does not prevent other residents from using the facilities. If this becomes a problem, it is suggested that you politely point out to your flatmate how this is impacting on you. A compromise may be found. You are also encouraged to speak to your flatmate(s) if you feel that he/she or they are dominating the kitchen and/or making you feel uncomfortable. If your efforts prove unsuccessful and this behaviour continues, get in touch with your designated College Tutor or the Dean. He or she will organise a flat meeting in order for a solution to be found.
