Noise

“Very noisy in early mornings, when delivery trucks and dustcarts come down Trinity Lane. Single glazing. You also hear drunken singing late at night.” (Jan 2007)

“just next to hall which makes it very noisy at hall times. You also get the pleasant aroma of caius hall at all hours of the day. It is also possible to hear music from the bar at times as well. Most noise is from the street as stragglers wonder home siging their football chants.” (Feb 2006)

“Average noise at usual times, hasn't really bothered me. Sometimes noisy things happen in hall, like boaties or concerts.” (Feb 2005)

“Very noisy in the morning, from about 7am onwards (weekdays only) Very noisy in the evening on weekends, from about 11pm - 2am” (Jan 2003)

Gyp Room

“Not huge but a decent size. Six sharing, 2 microwaves, 1 fridge. Everyone gets their own cupboard.” (Jan 2007)

“Basic. Looks nice, same floor, large enough as long as all 7 people don't use it at once” (Feb 2006)

“standard gyp room, hob, fridge etc.” (Feb 2005)

“7 people sharing, but very modern.” (Jan 2003)

General Comments

“A very pleasant room with lots of space. Friendly bedder. If you're high up on the second-year ballot you stand a good chance of getting one of these rooms.” (Jan 2007)
