Noise

“Can be noisy in the mornings and the church and college bells are a bit annoying - though you do get used to it.” (Jan 2007)

“A little noisy with lorries in the morning and drunken singing late at night, but you get used to it.” (Jan 2006)

“Not too bad, reversing lorries in the morning so not brilliant if you're a light sleeper and the shower is the other side of the wall were the bed is so that can be noisy.” (Jan 2005)

“Fairly noisy though not as bad as I was told - reversing lorries in the morning and rowdy drunken singing at night, but you get used to it, honest.” (Jan 2003)

Gyp Room

“Small gyp room shared between about 6 people, 5 seconds from the room. It has a fridge and 2 microwaves but no hob!” (Jan 2007)

“A little small for the six people sharing it, but well equipped. There are two good electric hobs and plenty of cupboard space.” (Jan 2006)

“smallish, 6 people share and the fridge can get a little crowded but otherwise really good (for a Caius Kitchen!).” (Jan 2005)

“Small and shared between 6 but well-equipped (TWO electric hobs, not a bunsen burner in sight) and on the same floor” (Jan 2003)

Bath Room

“Two fairly good power showers right by the room.” (Jan 2007)

“Two excellent showers right next to the room shared between six people. Toliets are opposite the kitchen and are also two for six.” (Jan 2006)

“2 power showers right next door, really nice and clean.” (Jan 2005)

“2 showers, shared between 6, on the same floor. V nice when they work.” (Jan 2003)

Furniture

“Nice fitted furniture; a big cupboard with a washbasin and a desk. Drawers, shelves, coffee table, bedside table, bed!” (Jan 2007)

“Well furnished for the room size. There's a big wardrobe a chest of drawers, a coffee table, a bedside table, a bookcase, and three chairs. The desk is moderately sized and built into the window alcove.” (Jan 2006)

“Not a huge desk, but wardrobe is good, drawers good, bedside table, 2 chairs and a coffee table - nice!” (Jan 2005)

“Nice fitted furniture which all matches, desk space is small, plenty of storage space (shelves, drawers, cupboard) and seating (2 chairs)” (Jan 2003)

Best Feature

“Great location - you don't have to go outside to get to hall, the bar, the jcr and can cut half way into the hall queue which is handy. The view onto Trinity is lovely and the fitted furnitire is nice.” (Jan 2007)

“The staircase comes out halfway up the stairs to hall so you can skip the hall queue and avoid the crush in the undercroft. I like the spiral staircase too.” (Jan 2006)

“Everything matches and fits neatly into the room even though it is one of the smaller ones on the 2 floors.” (Jan 2005)

“Cosy, nice shape and nice furniture” (Jan 2003)

Worst Feature

“A bit noisy at times and a little dark - the window is only small. The spiral staircase is also a little treacherous at times.” (Jan 2007)

“It's about as far from the entrance to college as you can get, which isn't brilliant when moving in and out.” (Jan 2006)

“It's at all well lit and can get quite dingy, also it can be quite cold.” (Jan 2005)

“Bit dark” (Jan 2003)

General Comments

“A little dark, the bedder is reasonably reliable and the storage space is good. It's a really nice room.” (Jan 2007)

“It can be a bit dark.” (Jan 2006)

“It's one of the rooms that college like to put conference guests so expect not to beable to leave any stuff there over the holidays, and to be moved out virtually straight away if you need vacation residence.” (Jan 2005)

“Bedder is the silent type, nice corridor atmosphere, toned thighs due to amount of steps to climb and good place to live as seems to be the most modern place in college” (Jan 2003)
