"I understand they're trying their best, but the water thing is kind of pushing me over the edge," parent of an MSU student Penny Thatcher said.

Thatcher said she and her child are frustrated with the amount of problems Yakeley Hall has faced through the semester, including the dining hall closures. Bethany Balks, Associate Communications Director of Residence Education and Housing Services, recognizes the struggles West Circle has faced.

"We're continuing to increase those service offerings as quickly as we can as we continue to heavily recruit and onboard staff," Balks said. "The older buildings, they sometimes do experience things like this, like a plumbing issue."

Thatcher said a few problems remain in the bathrooms, including some showerheads taped off and low water pressure. Balks had not heard of reports on these issues as of Thursday morning.

"They're not making it seem like it's a high priority," Thatcher said. "I don't know how many girls live in that dorm but obviously it's a decent amount. To leave them just kind of hanging over the weekend, I thought it would've been a priority to get somebody in there around the clock and get it fixed."

Balks encourages any students struggling with maintenance issues to submit a maintenance request or call the service center in Landon Hall to have them resolved.

"We appreciate how understanding (students) have been in this situation and we certainly hope to not have any additional experiences that bring students frustration," Balks said. "Our goal is to support their success and have a helpful, rewarding time while they're here with us on campus."
