- Noise
“a bit noisy in the mornings, but hasn't really bothered me.” (Jan 2008)
“Noisey in the mornings with delivery vans, but you get used to it pretty quickly” (Feb 2005)
“Not very noisy at all, occasional early delivery vans and late-night revellers but it's so high up you don't get disturbed really.” (Jan 2004)
“Can be noisy first thing in the morning with the delivery lorries in Trinity Lane, but you really do stop noticing it after the first few days. Can also be a bit noisy after midnight-ish with groups of people (often drunk) wandering home. Unlike the lower floor (Rms 2-7) there is never any noise from hall.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“smallish gyp room, but nice and new-ish. 6 people sharing. right opposite room” (Jan 2008)
“nice kitchen - small but fairly new, between 6” (Feb 2005)
“Kitchen is newly fitted out and right opposite room, shared with the rest of the corridor (6 people). Plenty of cupboards, electric hob.” (Jan 2004)
“Gyp room is brand new. A bit too small for the whole corridor to cook at once but more than enough storage space for all, intriging view into hall and over the Library. Shared by 6 people, entrance to gyp room is directly opposite room.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“2 toilets between 6 people. right opposite room. 2 showers between 6 people again. At the end of the corridor.” (Jan 2008)
“good shower! 2 between 6” (Feb 2005)
“2 toilets of Undercroft standard right opposite room. 2 showers at the end of the corridor, both tiny but good.” (Jan 2004)
“2 toilets for 6, of the standard of those in the undercroft (ie excellent for the Old Courts) entrance to toilets opposite room door. 2 powershowers for 6, again the best in the Old Courts, they can get a bit hot though.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“decent desk and swivel chair. 2 chairs and a coffee table (standard). wardrobe is a fair size, plus chest of drawers and bookself. it's all pretty new and in good condition.” (Jan 2008)
“Decent size desk, fairly new furniture” (Feb 2005)
“All new-looking stuff, "like a Travelodge". Sink is in a cool little cupboard. The desk has no drawers but otherwise all fine.” (Jan 2004)
“All rooms in the corridor were re-furbished with the fellows rooms so have built in wardrobe/wash basin and built in desk. Carpets, armchairs etc are also in excellent condition. The furniture all matches, which is novel for Caius.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“convenient. and i quite like the view of the trinity battlements.” (Jan 2008)
“recently refurbished, near hall/bar/pigeon holes etc” (Feb 2005)
“All the facilities are new(ish). Hall is just downstairs so you can skip the queue, and it is all too easy to pop down to the bar. It's nice to be on a carpeted corridor instead of a stone staircase. The window looks out at the turrets of Trinity Great Court.” (Jan 2004)
“The view, some other rooms on the corridor overlook nasty brick chimneys, but F10 has a view of the battlements on Trinity's wall and Great Court.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“the stairs when it comes to moving in. if you have a lot of stuff, find someone who enjoys carrying things up 2 flights of spiral stairs...” (Jan 2008)
“its fairly small (though I haven't found this a problem particularly), the noise can be annoying” (Feb 2005)
“Two flights of spiral stairs make moving in a nightmare. There is not much light (but more than on the lower corridor).” (Jan 2004)
“The stairs - moving in and out is a nightmare, but it's the same anywhere high up.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Not as dark as rooms below, lovely bedder, good heating” (Feb 2005)
“A nice room but you can get a lot more space for your money if you don't care about new facilities. When all the sets are gone it's a really good choice.” (Jan 2004)
“North facing, so often a bit gloomy, a couple of lamps sort that out though. Fantastic location: quick access to the Gallery and the Hall queue, the bar is less than 30 seconds away, and you can go to the JCR in your slippers.” (Jan 2003)
