- Noise
“Noisy in the morning when the lorries come down the passage/road. I can quite happily keep the window open during the day though.” (Jan 2008)
“Generally very quiet. Walls seem to be very thick, so don't really hear anything from any nearby rooms, and i've had no complaints by neighbours about noise from me. There are bin lorries that go by most mornings, some time between 730 and 9 that beep incessantly when reversing. Bad to start with but you get used to it quickly, it doesn't bother me any more.” (Feb 2006)
“OK all of the time except between 6 and 8 in the morning when rubbish trucks pass by and bottle bins are emptied, creating a large amount of noise.” (Jan 2004)
“can be quite noisy a couple of mornings a week when lorries deliver to shops and at night when drunken people are walking home!” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“6 people sharing a nice sized gyp room. Quite new units etc. Basically opposite the room.” (Jan 2008)
“Sufficient in size. Hot water not consistent. Shared by whole floor - 5 people. About 3 yards from my door. Good amount of cupboard space.” (Feb 2006)
“6 people sharing smallish but nice kitchen. Very close to room. Hob only.” (Jan 2004)
“The 6 of us on the corridor share but theres enough space for us all and its quite big and bright. About 5 steps from my room” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“2 cubicle toilets in a bathroom next to the kitchen. 2 showers at the end of the corridor.” (Jan 2008)
“2 showers on this floor, two on the floor above, so four between 10 people, less than 20 secs from door. Plenty of nearby toilets.” (Feb 2006)
“Good bathroom facilities - two decent showers and two toilets with separate washbasins between 6 people.” (Jan 2004)
“Quite good - there are 2 shower cubicles between the 6 of us but they are tiny” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“2 desks, one underneath each window. Built in wardrobe with sink + mirror (that opens out with a cupboard behind it). 2 bookcases + chest of drawers.” (Jan 2008)
“Two desks built into the walls, one either side of the combined wardrobe/sink thing. Both medium sized, but with a huge windowsill, on which my computer sits, so there's plenty of room to work. coffee table, two comfy chairs, one slightly taller desk chair (not on wheels). picture rail round the ceiling. plenty of storage space. one long and one short bookshelf, both waist height. large wardrobe/sink unit built into the wall between the desks, big, including full length hanging. light comes on over the sink when you open the door. one chest of drawers plus draws under the wardrobe. lockable cupboard above the wardrobe.” (Feb 2006)
“Modern pine furniture. 2 desks, 2 lounge chairs, 1 swivel chair, 1 coffee table, 1 wardrobe, 2 sets of drawers, 2 book cabinets” (Jan 2004)
“Everything looks new and is all matching. There are 2 desks but they're both quite small but apart from that it has the usual- 2 armchairs, 2 bookshelves, big cupboard, chest of drawers etc” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Size - biggest on the corridor by far (like F11 upstairs). Having two windows = lots of light. Also skipping the queue for hall. :P” (Jan 2008)
“It's huge - substantially the biggest on the floor. As such it tends to be where everyone congregates, so lots of social fun! Lots of storage space. Quiet (almost always). You can skip the entire hall queue, every time. Wonderful. This is a really great room.” (Feb 2006)
“Warm, decent size (the largest in the corridor), nice furniture, own washbasin, close to hall (this is a GOOD thing - the hall noise is negligible)” (Jan 2004)
“Its been done up recently so everything in it looks very clean and fresh. Also, the fact that the sink's hidden away in one of the wardrobes.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“All the rooms on this corridor have plasterboard walls so you get quite a bit of noise from your neighbours.” (Jan 2008)
“variable hot water. i'm told they're fixing it, but then i was told father christmas existed too.” (Feb 2006)
“Noise in the morning - otherwise briliant” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“Carpet (a novelty if you lived in HC in 1st year) 2 radiators under the desk can keep the warm really warm during winter. Lovely bedder. She even makes my bed sometimes.” (Jan 2008)
“two overhead florescent light things and two windows give plenty of light. Well heated. plenty of plug sockets but well spaced, so bring lots of extension leads. carpet is kinda beige-y grey, clean anyway. these rooms were refurbished a couple of years ago, so are in good nick. the room gets lots of light. not really direct sunlight because there's a wall belonging to trinity straight out the window, but it's plenty light enough. This is a lovely room to love in. I was about 90th in the ballot, but i think this room should have gone much higher - i consider myself very lucky to have got this room.” (Feb 2006)
“Carpetted, average sunlight, medium size wardrobe, one radiator, loads of sockets” (Jan 2004)
