- Noise
“Nice and peaceful at night, as it only overlooks Trinity Lane. Can be some dawn noise from rubbish trucks, which wakes me up occasionally.” (Jan 2008)
“Not noisy, few trucks in the morning” (Jan 2007)
“A bit noisy in the morning - trucks reversing outside my window” (Jan 2005)
“Not really noisy at all - occasionally noisy on a Saturday afternoon with all the shoppers, but even then you have to have your window open. It's a floor above hall but I still don't have any kind of noise or food smell problem.” (Jan 2004)
“Really quite noisy at ridiculously early hours of the morning, but you really do get used to it, and stop noticing all together after a while: Honestly!” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Very close to the room, shared by the whole corridor (7 people) Small but very pleasant, recently fitted, etc.” (Jan 2008)
“Awesome view” (Jan 2007)
“7 people sharing 2 hobs and 1 fridge. Quite a small space but not as grubby as HC” (Jan 2005)
“It's pretty small and doesn't have a microwave or an oven. Has 2 hobs which are adequate I suppose. Separate cupboards for each room which is nice. Only 1 fridge though so it's usually packed.” (Jan 2004)
“Quite small but plenty of cupboard space really. One fridge, shares between six people. Only two small hob rings but it's sufficient.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Two showers shared by 7, about 2 steps from the room. Very good, new etc. Two toilet cubicles, opposite gyp room. Shared by all. Fine.” (Jan 2008)
“Fine, 6 people to two showers, two bogs, nearby” (Jan 2007)
“2 power showers and everyone on this floor has a sink in their room” (Jan 2005)
“2 showers right outside my room. One of them has been blocked for about a term though, so in reality, only one. Showers are small but really good. Toilets are like school toilets but fine.” (Jan 2004)
“Two showers and two toilet cubicles between six people. If you have a pet hate about school toilets, its not for you!” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Desk built it, which makes window access hard and means cables tend to pile up in front of you as you can't slip them down behind. Three comfy-ish chairs (quite small) Good desk chair. Chest of (3) drawers. Low coffee table. Bookshelf.” (Jan 2008)
“Excellent desk and wardrobe. Sink stinks and college have failed to correct problem or give me money off and I got bored moaning to them.” (Jan 2007)
“bed, desk, coffee table, cupboard and bookcase. Not a huge amount of storage space but the furniture is quite nice.” (Jan 2005)
“Desk is fine for a lap top, but probably would be squashed with a desktop. Also a bedside table, coffee table and loads of wardrobe, drawer space.” (Jan 2004)
“Really nice furnishings, decorated in a plain but pleasant way and it has everything you could need really.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Quiet and cosy feel, high up, far from streets, etc. Good view if you stretch a little bit.” (Jan 2008)
“Location” (Jan 2007)
“Convenience (directly above the bar, and not a bad room considering I was at the very bottom of the ballot)” (Jan 2005)
“The sink is useful and it has a big mirror with loads of storage space behing it. Having the network connection is also very handy. The location is also excellent.” (Jan 2004)
“Fitted furniture. Everything is built in: sink, wardrobe, drawers- there's loads of storage space.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The annoying built-in desk.” (Jan 2008)
“Crap light” (Jan 2007)
“Small, a bit noisy” (Jan 2005)
“I find it quite small, especially since I had a massive room last year. It's still really nice though.” (Jan 2004)
“The fact that it gets SO noisy!” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Take this room if you want the quiet life. It's pretty out-of-the-way, high up, far from the street etc. which makes for peaceful living. Close to hall and the bar. Obvious annoyance of dealing with the porters more than you might elsewhere.” (Jan 2008)
“If your at the bottom of the ballot these rooms will probably be left but they're actually quite nice and well-furnished. You might end up with quite alot of gowns in your room by the end of the year though” (Jan 2005)
“Not particularly bright. Loads of sockets. Really warm.” (Jan 2004)
“These rooms (ie, F staircase) are really dingy, they don't ever seem to get light but if you're out all day anyway it doesn't really matter. The corridor has a really nice sociable layout and the rooms are well planned and laid out with networking and everything else you need- The stairs are a bit of a killer until you get used to them!” (Jan 2003)
