- Noise
“Mr Prynne's room is nearby. Apart from those one or two nights a term, wonderfully quiet.” (Feb 2007)
“The room is fairly soundproof, so no noise from Senate House Passage or Caius Court to be honest. Sometimes kept awake by the Master's windchimes, but they may disappear next year.” (Jan 2005)
“Absolute silence (except when something is going on in the auditorium, but you can hardly hear it)” (Feb 2004)
“Very quiet” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Private gyp room. Rock.” (Feb 2007)
“I have an en-suite kitchen off of the living room. Brand new hob which heats extremely well, sink which isn't a washbasin but good enough to shave/clean your teeth in, fridge in my living room with freezer compartment. Hot water takes a while to run through sometimes, but otherwise fantastically convenient.” (Jan 2005)
“own gyp room though really small, with sink, gas ring,i.e. enough for the usual 3 am pastas but not for la grande cuisine)” (Feb 2004)
“includes small kitchen” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Shared with inhabitant of I2 - out of door, along one side of Caius court, through corridor, down stairs, through door for which you get a key - long, cold trip. On the upside, the bathroom is the nicest I've seen in Caius (freshly renovated), and the loos are those shared with the Bateman Room (read: the college keeps them up to conference standard).” (Feb 2007)
“My bathroom is actually underneath the Bateman. This means having to go out into the court and into I to get there, you even need a key, but really you get used to it quickly since the shower is so good. If you're bothered about being seen looking a bit rough in the morning then this isn't the room for you.” (Jan 2005)
“In I staicase (!!!) but you get used to going out in the middle of the winter across caius court to have your morning shower. Shared by 2, really decent.” (Feb 2004)
“Very nice, shared by 2, in I(!!) staircase” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Decent desk, wardrobe, shelves, quite a few cupboards, and a very nice dining-room table, although you'll have to borrow some chairs from nearby rooms if you want to use it properly.” (Feb 2007)
“Two armchairs, several other chairs, computer chair. Large expandable dining table, good desk, lots of shelves and cupboards to keep everything in.” (Jan 2005)
“Desk (miniature) dining table 3 chairs 3 armchairs coffee table loads of storage space. Old fashioned deco but got used to it. Quite a lot of charm actually. Did I mention the fridge?” (Feb 2004)
“Nearly perfect (no sofa), in the usual college design” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“It's HUGE! Great for parti-um, I mean, gatherings of less than nine people, with no alcohol present. Honest. The big (living) room looks out on Caius Court at the front, and the Master's garden at the back. Pretty.” (Feb 2007)
“The size, the convenience of being in the quiet centre of college, the view over the Master's garden and the court, the kitchen. It's good for parties if you don't get too noisy as a fellow lives above, also good for hosting dinner parties since you can cook and there is a huge table.” (Jan 2005)
“Size of the living room, quietness, own gyp room...” (Feb 2004)
“Large, facing the nicest court & the master's garden” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The trip to the bathroom isn't fun on a cold winter's morning. The gyp room is also quite cramped - it's nice to have it private, but there's really not enough room to even open the microwave door (it hits the sink).” (Feb 2007)
“Lighting isn't great, college might give you a better bulb if you ask but it has yet to emerge for me. Heating is fine if you keep it on, but it's a large room so it takes a while to warm up if you turn it off. Bathroom could be considered inconvenient.” (Jan 2005)
“size of the bedroom (=closet) but not really important” (Feb 2004)
“bathroom in I staircase” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“The bedder (who must unfortunately not be named) is worth her weight, and that of her extended family, and probably Pavarotti as well, in gold. Sunlight isn't readily available, but that's mostly because the room's so wonderfully large that the light doesn't do it justice. The bedroom is tiny, but it's big enough for a bed, and what else do you need it for? Overall, an excellent room.” (Feb 2007)
“If you need to sleep during the day at any point, the bedroom window has a shutter, which means you can make it pitch black in there. There are about six sockets in the main room, I recommend a multiplug for anyone with a computer. There's only one in the kitchen, so again one would be useful there. Dining room table makes for excellent table tennis. The main window overlooking Caius Court has a large windowsill, great for sitting on and eating your lunch whilst staring at the people wandering in and out of college.” (Jan 2005)
“Great room though a bit isolated from the rest of the world + you've gotta walk through the plodge every time you go in and out which can be a bit problematic between 2 an 6 am.” (Feb 2004)
“Nice bedder, sunlight ok for ground floor; probably not the perfect place for noisy people” (Jan 2003)
