- Noise
“Very quiet as Mortimer Road is a dead end street, can occasionally hear sirens as the police and fire stations are nearby. Not a problem at all.” (Jan 2008)
“This room is pretty quiet, you get some noise from Hughes Hall and tramps occasionally, but overall its not a problem.” (Jan 2005)
“Usually very quiet although occasional early morning noise from fire engines and sometimes the tramps can be quiet loud later at night, although steps are being taken to expunge the tramps from their area behind kelsey kerridge.” (Jan 2004)
“Fairly quite when compared to room 7 at the front of the house” (Feb 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Large gyp room just outside my door, four of us share it at. Contains two fridges, 4 hob rings, plenty of cupboard and draw space. Would be nicer if it had a small table in it to eat at.” (Jan 2008)
“The kitchen is just outside this room and is amazing, its huge (2 fridges) and acts a communal area for most of our house if we're not in some-one's room as its the biggest one, although in fact there are only 4 people officially sharing.” (Jan 2005)
“Absolutely enormous kitchen with kettle, sandwich toaster and 4 ring halogen hob. lots of storage space too. nice.” (Jan 2004)
“Huge, with electric burners that actually work and can heat up a pan of water in under 8 days. Table would be good, but 2 fridges between 4 people is handy.” (Feb 2003)
- Bath Room
“There is a bathroom with a bath, toilet and sink just down one flight of stairs from my room (on a floor in between the 1st and 2nd floors). On the next floor down there is a bathoom with a power shower, toilet and sink. 4-6 people share the shower. The bathrooms are an appropriate size.” (Jan 2008)
“There are showers or bathrooms on every other level of the house on each side, so from this room you have 2 showers nearby and a bath - there's never a problem in the mornings!” (Jan 2005)
“3 bathrooms, 1 bath and 2 showers. rarely need to wait. showers and bath are all very nice - clean and new.” (Jan 2004)
“Down one flight of stairs, bath and sink, adequate. Shower on the level below shared between approximately 5 people. Fine.” (Feb 2003)
- Furniture
“I have a very large desk with deep drawers, a bookcase, bedside table, small coffee table, two fairly comfy arm chairs, a computer chair, another wooden chair, a dressing table with a mirror. Clothes storage space is quite limited, as a girl with a lot of clothes sometimes I find it a bit of a squeeze but it is not a problem. There is a small wardrobe and a chest with some small drawers and two cupboards in it. There is lots of space under the bed for additional storage space.” (Jan 2008)
“My desk is really nice and large, there's lots of chairs and a nice coffee table as well as quite a bit of storage space although the wardrobe is tiny and awkward - you can just about fit coats/suits in but not really much more. I ended up getting on of those cheap rail hanging things from argos for about a tenner though, theres not really anything to complain about with the layout of the room. You can easily fit 10 poeple in there..” (Jan 2005)
“Good sized desk, plenty of chairs - even a swively chair.” (Jan 2004)
“Large desk, no sofa but two comfy chairs and a nice swivelly computer chair if you like that sort of thing. Bed's a bit small, but so are most of them.” (Feb 2003)
- Best Feature
“Nice large size, sloping ceilings (as the room is basically in the attic part of the house) which add character. A nice fireplace with a large mantelpiece. Sky light. Large desk.” (Jan 2008)
“There's lots of space and the room is a really good shape because its at the top of the house and has nice slopes above the bed etc; overall I couldn't complain about it!” (Jan 2005)
“Very light and airy, good size, very near to kitchen and bathroom.” (Jan 2004)
“Warm and quiet, and right next to the fantastic kitchen. Whole house has been recently refurbished so everything seems clean and modern.” (Feb 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Not very bright lighting so would be worth having an extra lamp for working in the evenings. Poor amount of storage space for clothes.” (Jan 2008)
“They keep on saying we will actually get connected to the internet but despite the points being there that's not actually happened yet. Also obviously it's at the top of the house which allows for fairly painful treks up and downstairs whilst unpacking.” (Jan 2005)
“It's on the top floor which can make it quite hard to move in / out at beginning / end of term.” (Jan 2004)
“No network connection or sink.” (Feb 2003)
- General Comments
“pale yellow walls, standard grey carpet with a few stains. Several sockets around the room, by the desk, by the bed and by the door. Heating via a radiator underneath the window. Usually quite warm (warmer than room 7 next door to me). Nice sized notice board. Lovely bedder that lives in the basement of the house next door. Very friendly, does not mind if the room is slightly messy etc!” (Jan 2008)
“Sunlight might wake you up in the mornings at first because of the skylight, but this won't last! The room catches the sun nicely during the day. The carpets fine, decor nice! Heating seems to work, I already mentioned the wardrobe space... Sockets haven't caused any problems but its worth bringing some extension ones for computers + accessories and depending on where you want speakers. Have had absolutely no problems with the bedder, she even does some washing up if the kitchen's not in too much of a state!” (Jan 2005)
“Housekeeper and her husband live in the basement; they are very patient and tolerant; we all get on very well with them, no complaints at all! The house is kept very tidy and it is overall a very pleasant place to live. 100%” (Jan 2004)
“Nice room, plenty of space, but Angie can be a bit of a dragon if you get on the wrong side of her (although i think i did okay...).Major hassle can come your way if you make any noise after she's gone to bed, which can be a problem with living on the top floor as the stairs are quite noisy. Other than that, she's fine.” (Feb 2003)
