Upkot should not cancel the subscription to the regular TV channels in the Upkot buildings. For more than a hundred Upkot students, this is a shared service that people use every night, and it has become part of how residents unwind, meet each other, and feel at home in the building.
This is about more than television. Watching the same channels in a shared space gives students an easy reason to talk, spend time together, and bond with their Upkot mates and other students in the building. When that subscription disappears, the result is not just less entertainment — it is less everyday connection in a place where community matters.
If Upkot cancels the subscription, many students will lose a simple, low-cost way to relax together after classes and exams. That would weaken the shared atmosphere in the buildings and make an everyday student space feel more isolated. A small cut like this may save money in the short term, but it also removes something that many residents clearly use and value.
The better solution is to keep the regular TV channels available in the Upkot buildings and continue the subscription as a shared facility for residents. If changes are being considered, Upkot should first review how many students use it, what it costs, and whether there is a way to keep the service without reducing access.
We ask Upoffice to keep the subscription to the regular TV channels in Upkot buildings and confirm that it will remain in place for the residents who use it. More than a hundred students rely on this service as part of daily life in the building, and it should not be removed without a clear, practical alternative.
