like we never really had a meeting with them. We need to continue to be consistent with it because we will eventually be heard.”
“I think what’s going on campus is very unfortunate, I think that it’s time for a change. We’ve been dealing with this since my freshman year and I’m now a junior about to be a senior and it’s still going on. My main concern is the health of the students. That is something that B-CU prioritizes in its motto, so the fact that it’s being said but not shown is a little frustrating because people are getting sick. It's not just we’re dealing with the mold, people are being hospitalized because of the mold, people are having health issues, and some are leading to chronic issues. I just want B-CU to prioritize the health of the students and their well-being. Not only is this trying our physical health, but it’s trying our mental health as well. Having to go into a hot room after a long day of classes is frustrating. Having to bathe in cold water is frustrating. I just want people to look at the students and think of our well-being as a whole.”
