Noise

“Quite noisy in the mornings - so not a great room if you're a really light sleeper. never disturbed me though.” (Nov 2007)

“The rubbish trucks and binmen make quite a bit of noise (mostly confined to mornings), and you can hear people going by the door which happens a lot since I'm right next to the main door! and sometimes the stairs can be bad. None of this is really an issue at all, but the library is two seconds away if you want somewhere quiet!” (Jan 2006)

“Quite a noisy room since it is situated behind McDonalds. There are also garbage trucks that come most morning which can be very noisy. There is a lot of noise between 7:30am and 8am. During the day and night it is fine.” (Jan 2003)

Gyp Room

“On the floor above, but this isn't too much touble” (Nov 2007)

“Quite small, no place to sit but its ok, shared between 4 or 5??” (Jan 2006)

Best Feature

“Very big and great location - centre of town without porter supervision. also sociable as people have to pass your door to get into the house. also private bike shed behind the house.” (Nov 2007)

“Very sociable as people tend to pop in a lot, comparatively large in college (one of the biggest?)” (Jan 2006)

Worst Feature

“Noisy in mornings (but only problem if you are a very light sleeper). Little bit dingy.” (Nov 2007)

“Bloody trucks that wake me up at 7:30am in the mornings.” (Jan 2003)
