- Noise
“This room is really noisy at night, even with the double glazing, as it's pretty much right above Gardies and La Raza. If you're a light sleeper don't take this room!” (Jan 2008)
“A little noisy at night due to proximity to gardies but actually fine -there is double glazing so it hasn't bothered me.” (Jan 2007)
“This room is right above Peppercorns, so it's really close to Gardies, but despite all the faff, I can't hear anything. (The person last year complained so much they installed soundproofing). It's a really great place to be in the centre of town.” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“Good size, shared between 6 and right next to the room, although this does mean you can hear the door slamming frequently. More conveniently, one of the house washing machines is in it too.” (Jan 2008)
“Share 5 to our gyp room, which is next door to the room -we still have hobs unlike many gyp rooms now. It's pretty good although the fridge can get a bit full with four people using ut.” (Jan 2007)
“4 people share this, it's right next to the room, and is quite good by college standards” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“We share a bathroom between 2 of us (although there are 2 between 6 on the corridor). It's very close to the room, nice inside although shower is a bit unpredictable.” (Jan 2008)
“There are 2 bathrooms between the 5 of us, just opposite the room -nice warm showers and you rarely have to wait more than a couple of mins to get in.” (Jan 2007)
“I hate the Rose Crescent bathrooms! They are close to the room, but loads of people use them, and they're always quite manky. Suspicious puddles and hairs everywhere.” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“Good sized desk, one comfy armchair, two wooden chairs, desk chair and piano chair, piano (bit of a harsh sound and touch response not great but it's ok), bed, chest of drawers and wardrobe, plus mini table that I put next to the bed (could do with another table as well).” (Jan 2008)
“Good storage space, lots of shelves etc... Good-sized desk, coffee table, chairs x 5, wardrobe, chest of drawers. Chairs aren't overly comfortable, but have a good swively desk chair.” (Jan 2007)
“Large desk, sitting chair, work chair, computer chair, computer desk, bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“Very light because it has two big windows, right in the centre of town, big wardrobe, right above Gardies.” (Jan 2008)
“It is nice and warm and a good size. The carpet and curtains are pleasant and probably newer than many in college. It is a good location and rose cresc is a pretty street.” (Jan 2007)
“Location in centre of town. Quite big.” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“Right above Gardies means it can be incredibly noisy at night, also sometimes it smells of chips.” (Jan 2008)
“Not having a sink maybe, or in the summer it gets really hot and at night there isn't really the option of opening windows as it is noisy without the double glazing!” (Jan 2007)
“The bedders are absolutely useless. They never do anything. This is good as they don't complain about posters, but forget about ever hoovering or cleaning in the kitchen. And they sit and talk and smoke right outside my room every morning from 7. Not fun.” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“Lots of light, room nicely done up with lots of wall space for posters, generally quite warm, more than enough sockets if you have a couple of extension leads, bedder is lovely. I would say a perfect room apart from the noise!” (Jan 2008)
“Lovely (and considerate) bedders, quite clean, nice decor, good heating, enough sockets, pleanty of wardrobe space (even if it is a bit rickety) ...” (Jan 2007)
“This is a nice room, and I've really enjoyed having it. Wardrobe space is quite limited, heating is good, and it was redecorated and carpeted this year. Gets some sunlight.” (Jan 2004)
