Changing rooms

I have been allocated a room on the ground floor in a block of flats. Do you think I should change rooms because I'm worried about safety on the ground floor, noise from the streets and also privacy as anyone can look into my room via the window. Has anyone here had a room on the ground floor? If so, would you be kind enough to share your experience and give me advice? Thank you in advance

If there is a fire you haven't got far to fall, and if your worried people are going to look in then shut the curtains. Ear plugs for the noise is an option.

I was in a flat on the ground floor at university last year. Never found it a problem to be honest. Safety wise, it was fine. Obviously, the front door was always locked when I was out and I always locked my bedroom door too, mostly so I knew I had my keys in my hand when I walked out..... But, you know, extra sense of security as well
As for peeps looking in..... I had blinds on my window, which I usually always shut so no problem there. For me, there wasn't really much problem for street traffic/noise as the block of flats was tucked away from the street a little... If that makes sense!
Hope this helped!

Haha, i dont see why i have to suffer when I'm paying the same price as someone who is enjoying their lovely view from the seventh floor! Lol

I bet your more annoyed about the view then anything else.

If you have the option to change, I would. My halls were on campus and incredibly noisy from the 5th floor where I was at nights and was way worse on the 1st floor as there was a constant trickle of people walking around drunk.

Oh wow. I'll definitely ring up and request a change!
