- Noise
“Right next to Mill road, so can hear traffic at busy times, but not too noisy. Also very near to both the police and fire stations so occasional sirens.” (Jan 2008)
“There is quite a lot of noise from the police and fire stations nearby and of course you will hear all the drunken "conversations" occuring on Mill Rd last at night. Despite this, noise doesnt bother me anymore, so at least I will have gained something from this year.” (Feb 2005)
“bit of noise from mill road - drunkards,police cars and fireengines (near to fire station) but get used to it very quickly.” (Jan 2004)
“quite noisy cos it is on the ground floor and the nearest to Mill Road (a busy street)” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Very small - definitely not enough space for people to eat in it, could have a max of 3 (very small) people using it! One kitchen for the house of 8 rooms, on floor 0.5. nb - there is a room 6 in this house (on the housing guide it doesn't show up, but it is 1st floor, street facing, v small bedroom (with main door into it, so not very practical) but good living room as well.” (Jan 2008)
“Imagine a large cardboard box, then make it very slightly bigger, add a couple of fridges and a pathetic electic hob and you have our kitchen - if you could call it that. Not one for messy people - but it does suffice for most things.” (Feb 2005)
“just upstairs, very small - can only fit 3 people in it.” (Jan 2004)
“tiny - does not fit more than three people back to back! Shared by 8. I have to go up the stairs for it.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Shower on ground floor, mere metres away. Bath on floor 1.5 (can get v cheap adapters to make it a shower). Toilet also on ground floor, right next to the shower - effectively shared between just rooms 3&4(as also toilet in basement, for rooms 1&2, and toilet on floor 1.5 for everyone else!)” (Jan 2008)
“One shower and one bath for house of 8, but dont really ever had to queue.” (Feb 2005)
“shower and loo just outside room - never really a queue for either” (Jan 2004)
“shower is right next to my room.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Pretty decent, quite old school. Instead of a conventional desk, you just have a nice large wooden dining table, also have shelves, drawers, wardrobe and a large drinks cabinet/dresser type thing. All are fine, maybe a bit lacking in clothes space...I barely fit all my stuff in the wardrobe and drawers - and I don't have that many clothes. Two armchairs and a normal chair. Oh, and there's a pin board too.” (Jan 2008)
“Large table (no desk), cupboard, pathetic wardrobe (but try and find one in Morti Rd that isnt) chest of drawers... coffee table, 3 chairs. All good stuff really - but I think most of it may have come from an old peoples home.” (Feb 2005)
“loads of furniture - much nicer than the harvey court stuff” (Jan 2004)
“huge desk/dining table. two chairs, big shelf...” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Three large windows facing right onto a nice garden. Get a lot of light in. Useful having the big dining table too. Good situation in the house - no stairs to climb apart from half a floor up to the kitchen.” (Jan 2008)
“Large windows, view of garden (no one looking in) and it is nice being on the ground floor because you get lots of people popping in to say hello on their way in and out.” (Feb 2005)
“wall of windows looking ovefr nice garden - nice furniture - sideboards, chairs etc” (Jan 2004)
“good privacy cos it faces the back garden. Huge windows that take up one whole wall.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“I guess you can hear traffic quite a lot of the time...but to be honest I don't notice it at all. And maybe more wardrobe space would be nice...but frankly I really like the room and can't fault it much!” (Jan 2008)
“Lighting is awful - bring some of your own. Can get cold, so a small heater may also be a good investment if you have the money.” (Feb 2005)
“high ceiling is good but means the light doesnt get very far - mirror is very dark in the corner with the sink - fine as long as you have plenty of lamps” (Jan 2004)
“Very dark. And the ceiling is too high to even change the light bulb. Can get very cold.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Carpet has a few marks, some patches in the wallpaper missing...but nothing serious wrong, with a few pictures on the walls (there's a picture rail so can hang pictures or use "artists" tape...whatever that is) it's quite a homely room. Slightly irritating is that there aren't any lamps at all in the room - would strongly suggest a desk lamp and maybe a couple of table lamps. Prob bigger than an average first year (HC/SHB) rooms and nice high ceiling. No network socket, but college have put wireless in now, bit temperamental at the moment, but should be sorted soon.” (Jan 2008)
“Bedder friendly, recently decorated - but bring posters - walls look very bare without them.” (Feb 2005)
“bedder very friendly and works late mornings so you dont get woken up too early. south facing ish (trees in the way but still quite a lot of daylight) plenty of space - not that many sockets but fine with adaptors” (Jan 2004)
“None of the furniture goes together but you sure get a lot of it. It is a sqaure room.” (Jan 2003)
