- Noise
“Not too bad, occasional late night drunks not very loud as am reasonably high up. Occasionally a garbage truck early in the morning i think but it isn't every morning and really not that bad.” (Feb 2008)
“There's a bit of noise in the early mornings (the room is above the entrance to the college kitchens), but not too much. It's also possible to hear the Trinity clock chime until fairly late into the night, but it's not too much of a problem. Otherwise, very quiet.” (Feb 2005)
“Not very nosy - apart from the morning deliveries to the kithcen!!!” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Nice really. Much better than tree court.” (Feb 2008)
“Six people share, and it's basically nice and modern. It's not too far away from the room either, and the hob is capable of boiling water - wow!” (Feb 2005)
“Nice condition - Hobs are crap though” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Shower at the end of the hall. Kind of small and boxy but standard really. Toilets halfway down oposite Gyp room.” (Feb 2008)
“Showers are superb, wonderful power showers. The toilets are a bit cramped, but generally ok. All is close by the room.” (Feb 2005)
“POWER SHOWERS!!! - very nice” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“No moveable desk, a kind of desk attached to the wall set up along one end. Absolutely fine though. Desk chair and two vaguely comfy chairs, bed, coffee table bookshelf, chest of draws, bedside table and wardrobe.” (Feb 2008)
“Since the room was only created in 1997, all the furniture is new -- so none of that dodgy '70s stuff there is everywhere else. There is a wonderful washbasin cupboard/wardrobe, and a fixed desk in oak (?). All very nice, top-quality stuff.” (Feb 2005)
“Bit like a hotel - but clean and nice (refurbished)” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“The view probably, two windows which is better than most on F staircase and one looks out toward the river over one bit of trinity and the other looks outowards trinity chapel. High enough up to see over the roof tops.” (Feb 2008)
“Probably the wonderful view over Trinity Great Court from one window and Trinity New Court from the other. And the nice furniture/fixtures (including the sink!)” (Feb 2005)
“Overlooking Trinity Great Court and New Court, quiet, good facilities” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Occasional cooking smells around lunch and dinner time. Personally didn't bother me much but maybe some people don't like these things... Oh and the stairs are narrow and long to get up when you are drunk. SO not much really.” (Feb 2008)
“The massive trek up the stairs to get here. And the fact that its nearness to hall makes breakfast far too tempting.” (Feb 2005)
“Bit on the smallish side” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Good sunlight. Nice, shy, bedder. There is cupboard behind the mirror! Didn't realize till the bedder opened it! Very useful! Pretty nice room actually. I would say in all honesty possibly one of the best you can get in second year even though I was only 30th on the ballot. Way less noise problems than rose crescent or green street and anything that looks out in tree court. Pretty sweet really. And you are in old courts.” (Feb 2008)
“It's a really nice room, if up quite a lot of stairs. Apart from the occasional morning noise, it's very peaceful as well. It's also really warm if you want it to be (the radiators work well); and the lack of Caius-'70s furniture is good. The bedder is also lovely; she's also fairly quiet. Finally: there are lots of sockets.” (Feb 2005)
