- Noise
“Sometimes there's some noise from hall, but it was brass band music at Christmas, which was nice! Some noise from trucks in morning, not too disturbing (I'm quite a deep sleeper). Some unexplained noises, still don't know what they are...? I don't know what your neighbours will be like next year, but mine are fine.” (Jan 2008)
“Delivery vans make some noise at about 6am but you'll only notice this if you're awake that early; it's easy to get used to and doesn't disturb your sleep.” (Feb 2005)
“little noisey as pubs close.” (Jan 2004)
“Noisy early in the morning (2-3 a.m)when the clubs empty, and when the lorries come to deliver food to the kitchens below (6.am).” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“It's really small, but not as bad as Tree Court. So long as you keep on top of washing up, it's perfectly functional. Fridge, two microwaves, George, posh toaster. Standard.” (Jan 2008)
“Six people sharing a very small gyp room. On the up side, everyone gets their own specially numbered cupboard!” (Feb 2005)
“Not bad, same as most others but bit newer. Not of standard of new Morty, but better than Harvey Court.” (Jan 2004)
“Nice gyp room. six people charing. quite small, but ok. modern.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Showers are great! Really warm, in a tiny room, but this way they always stay warm so it's not cold when you get out. Toilet has two cubicles in one room, which can be a bit impersonal, yet it's a very quiet corridor, so you rarely meet someone in there.” (Jan 2008)
“Two showers and two toilets shared between six. There's never a wait to have a shower in the morning.” (Feb 2005)
“2 showers for corridor of 6, always free and very good.” (Jan 2004)
“great showers in general. 6 people charing 2 showers, never any clashing! 2 toilets for 6 people.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Right I love it! It's like oak effect, fits in with the look of room. Sink in in the wardrobe, so it shuts away. Desk is fitted in front of window by radiator, window looks into Trinity Great Court. Quite a lot of storage space. Shelves, drawers under wardrobe, over wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside table, space under bed. Two nice chairs and a coffee table. Oh yeah and there's a cupboard behind the mirror which is like hidden. Love that!” (Jan 2008)
“There's a desk, three chairs, large bookshelf, chest of drawers, wardrobe, coffee table, and extra storage space. The desk is quite small so that if you have a computer set up on it there's not much room for working.” (Feb 2005)
“Been refurbished, bookcase, two chairs, desk chair, coffee table, desk in window.” (Jan 2004)
“Medium desk, no drawers. Lots of chairs. Enough storage space. No sofa” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“It was redecorated about ten years ago I think, which makes it modern by Caius standards, and I think it shows. Everything seems to fit together well, not a hotchpotch like in Tree Court. It's always warm. I feel safe in one of the highest, furthest corners of Caius. It's quiet, you can study well here. Like I said the views pretty unique.” (Jan 2008)
“All the fixed fittings are made of wood and the overall effect is very pleasant. Not much cheap furniture in these rooms.” (Feb 2005)
“Convenient - off stairs to hall. Comfortable and newly done out.” (Jan 2004)
“The view over Trinity Great Court (and the little alleyway!)” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Like I said, it's in the highest, furthest part of Caius, and it really does feel like it sometimes! Moving in is a bit of a bitch.” (Jan 2008)
“The smell of hall wafts into the room most days and down the corridor because it's right above the kitchens. Also, it's quite small.” (Feb 2005)
“Small - smallest in corridor. Feels new though. Gets a bit cold sometimes.” (Jan 2004)
“Spiral staircase up to it when drunk!” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Look, I love my room. Feel free to come check it out, send me an email if you wanna arrange a time (sdr27), I think the next person is gonna be lucky to have it. Bedder's nice, dunno when she hoovers though... The ability to pop into the Hall queue virtually at the start without having to wait is also a bonus which cannot be underestimated. The only reason I didn't give this room a ten is because I was in Steven Hawking Building last year, and that sets the standard!” (Jan 2008)
“There's one window and it's not facing the right way to be particularly sunny. The bedder is lovely. Music goes right through the floor and also through the walls so you either have to keep it low or get lots of complaints. There are bigger rooms but this one is lovely too.” (Feb 2005)
“Bedder good, if unfriendly. Not very sunny, but normally warm and light enough.” (Jan 2003)
