Overlooking a street.

Noise

“Very noisy as room overlooks Trinity Lane and windows are thin so you can hear people's conversations from the street very clearly and lorries start collecting bottles from Trinity and Caius kitchens from about 6am.” (Jan 2005)

“Noise in the morning with lorries delivering to hall: lots of reversing beeps etc. Less noise at night, generally from drunk people singing.” (Jan 2004)

“Pretty noisy in the mornings, with lots of lorries backing up the street outside.” (Jan 2003)

Gyp Room

“Gyp room is quite small with a normal sized fridge and two hotplates. Not sufficient for 5 people to share. About 5 metres from room.” (Jan 2005)

“Shared between 6, good size, plenty of cupboards, just along the corridoor from my room.” (Jan 2004)

“1 gyp room between 6 people, quite nice actually + current bedder does all your washing up.” (Jan 2003)

Bath Room

“Toilets are like the ones you'd get at school-two toilets next to each other cubicle style so you can hear quite a lot when you have company next door... There are two showers on the floor and they tend to get blocked quite frequently with girls' hair.” (Jan 2005)

“Two showers, but one leaks; at the end of the corridoor. Two toilets next to the gyp room.All between 6.” (Jan 2004)

“2 pretty good showers, although they can be a bit hot!” (Jan 2003)

Furniture

“There is a single bed, bedside cabinet, wardrobe with sink, coffee table, 2 armchairs, chest of drawers, a little drawer cabinet, bookcase and two desks fitted under the windows. The furniture is all matching and new.” (Jan 2005)

“Two reasonable size desks, cupboard, with drawers underneath it, book shelf, chest of drawers, bedside table, three almost comfortable chairs, computer chair. All still quite new and in good condition.” (Jan 2004)

“Good, desks aren't amazing and a distinct lack of draws.” (Jan 2003)

Best Feature

“The room is quite spacious and the furniture is nice as I said before.” (Jan 2005)

“Size, view over Trinity great court, good facilities.” (Jan 2004)

“The whole corridor is nice and new, great view of Trinity Great Court. Very good room.” (Jan 2003)

Worst Feature

“The noise is a bit of a problem. The room is generally quite dark as one window looks into a wall as does half of the other window. Also, ther is a glow in the dark fire escape sticker on the door which I have to remember to cover up before I go to bed.” (Jan 2005)

“Noise at 7am in the morning, far too many stairs to get there, especially when moving in at the start of every term.” (Jan 2004)

“Very pricey.” (Jan 2003)

General Comments

“The bedder is very efficient - she cleans the whole corridor every day. The carpet is quite new and the decor is modern. It's a shame that there isn't enough wardrobe space to hang clothes up but there are lots of drawers. There are two radiators in the room which keep it nice and warm.” (Jan 2005)

“Doesn't get that much sun.” (Jan 2003)
