The students from Faculty of Teacher training program in Universitas Sebelas Maret want to have a wide and clean canteen area. In fact, the canteen area there is narrow and not comfortable so it needs to renovate. It is not only the sellers who complain for the narrow canteen area, but also the students complain the same thing. Narrow canteen area also makes many sellers lose buyers because there is no place to sit. "I often see students getting here leaving because there is no place to sit." said one employee. Besides, the location of canteen area is too close to the parking area. It makes the students do not feel comfortable to have lunch there because of the pollution there.

All FKIP students hope that the Faculty can renovate...

The comfy and clean toilet can make the users feel comfortable. Toilet is one of facilities in Sebelas Maret University such as in the UNS Libarary. Is toilet there comfortable?. The condition of a bucket or a dirty bucket, a little running water, rubbish scattered in the corner of the toilet and the pungent smell of urine have become icons of the UNS library toilet. This is due to several things namely the lack of student awareness in maintaining the cleanliness of toilets and the lack of awareness of janitors to clean toilets. Many student think that cleaning toilet is only the responsibility of the janitor. Keeping the toilet in the UNS library is not only the janitors duty. All campus citizens must participate keeping the toilet clean. "I dont know how they though about cleanliness, they threw tissue in the corner of the toilet because the trash can was full. They should have thrown it into another trash can," Setiani added, a library visitor. Toilet users must ma...
