Hello,
Last year I was homeless, and struggling, and I went to a university building to leave my stuff there, even though I wasn't a student. I tried to go back another time to pick up my stuff, but the room I went to was locked.
I'm worried if I go there and explain my situation that I'd be verbally abused. Any advice for getting my stuff back? I had a bunch of clothes in there, and my nintendo switch. I wish I could get them back soon 😞

Definitely tell them.
If they have a problem with it then they have the problem.
Also, get looking for work payments whilst your looking for work and find a room to rent.
Don't worry too much. Most people are just working on their little home space.

But... it was a year ago. It's probably lost by now.
