- Noise
“Old man watches T.V. at all hours, plus the dentist next door drilling during the day makes this not an ideal place to work. At night it is usually fairly quiet.” (Feb 2007)
“Very noisy at night from the family downstairs who watch TV. The floors seem like paper.” (Jan 2005)
“TV from landlord can be distirbing if trying to get an early night most noticible 10:00-11:30. Even at this distance can still hear fire engines occaisionally if window open. (Generally quite quiet)” (Jan 2004)
“Landlord downstairs is quite deaf so has the TV on quite loud in the morning, a bit of noise from the road, but otherwise not too bad.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Absolute disgrace. 5 people sharing what is a converted toilet, when the washing machine was installed, the tiny fridge had to be moved upstairs! On the plus side there is a hob, on the draining board! Basically no room for appliances, you will be making toast in the sink.” (Feb 2007)
“Tiny gyp room for five people, bit of a disgrace actually.” (Jan 2005)
“5 people share,close to room, very small(can touch any two walls at once). Fridge upstairs.” (Jan 2004)
“Kitchen is tiny, can only fit one person in at a time, there is a microwave provided but you'll need to get your own hob. Its right next to the room and shared between the 5 of us. The washing machine is a combined washer/dryer and seems to do its job ok.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Pathetic. One shower and toilet, in the same room! This means constant waiting, especially when your housemate has gastroenteritis!” (Feb 2007)
“Bathroom adequate but just the one so there are queues.” (Jan 2005)
“close, again 5 people. Shower in bath, reasonable size.” (Jan 2004)
“Only on bathroom between 5 which can get very annoying in the morning, bathroom itself is quite nice and its right next door to this room.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Small desk, desk chair plus one other chair. The wardrobe is a hole in the wall with hooks to hang about 4 shirts on!” (Feb 2007)
“Hardly any furniture worth mentioning and what little there is just gets in the way. Not one for the claustrophobics ouit there.” (Jan 2005)
“Small inbuilt wardrobe, bookcase 8ish rows, comfy chair, reasonable size desk(just big enough for computer, notes and paper)” (Jan 2004)
“Not much storage space, wardrobe is tiny, there is a little cupboard and some shelves. The desk is pretty standard.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“None.” (Feb 2007)
“Proximity to kitchen and bathroom. They are both right beside the room. View of garden. Roof over head, the nearest homeless shelter is probably a better option but the rooms there tend to go to people higher up the ballot.” (Jan 2005)
“Can see Tortoise and birds in garden(except in winter). Fairly relaxing walk back, (except when streets busy).” (Jan 2004)
“Ermmm, cheap rent.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Everything.” (Feb 2007)
“Noise form downstairs is a big problem. Crap facilitites in general for the whole house. No network connection. No washbasin. Live miles away from everyone else so the five people there feel quite alone. Tiny gyp room. Noise again.” (Jan 2005)
“The walk back makes it often worth staying in town.” (Jan 2004)
“Its quite dark, and you have to pay for electricity/gas.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“This is, along with the hobbit room (room 4 of this house), the worst room in college. Only pick this room if you are bottom or possibly second from bottom in the ballot, or mentally retarded. It is a bit of a joke that this house is still on the ballot when the other accommodation is so much better. My advice, get a girlfriend/boyfriend who lives in town.” (Feb 2007)
“Don't come here, kill yourself before you let that happen. Glisson road has the highest rate of attempted suicides.” (Jan 2005)
“Not too bad, probably too small if you often have visitors or spend all day there regularly.” (Jan 2004)
“Tho this room doesn't have a phone line, rooms 2&4 do, and the line is generally shared throughout the whole house. Landlady is strict but fair, and a fairly nice lady. Definitely 'bottom of the ballot' kinda room” (Jan 2003)
