- Noise
“The nature of Harvey Court (wooden and stone floors in the corridors) means that it's like a giant echo chamber. You can hear every slam of every door. Having said that, you can't hear much external noise. When there's a bop in the JCR downstairs, the whole of A-Block can hear it, and things have been known to shake from the bass even up here... it goes on till 1:30, but you do actually get used to it, and it's only a couple of weekends per term. I can even sleep through it now!” (Feb 2006)
- Gyp Room
“Quite small for HC, but much more space than some of the Old Courts gyrooms. There are only 3 people on this staircase, so there's never a problem if you want to use it. It's just a few paces away from the door of this room! The facilities leave a bit to be desired - 2 electric rings, a fridge and, um, that's it. Bring a multi-plug adapter as there's only 1 socket available for toasters, kettles etc.” (Feb 2006)
- Bath Room
“Shared with 2 other people. The toilet cubicle opens onto the gyproom area and has no washbasin. There's a bath as well. If you prefer showers, there's one downstairs.” (Feb 2006)
- Furniture
“In the bedroom there's a bookcase, a coffee table and a reasonably sized wardrobe. In the living room there's a fairly big desk with a lamp and drawers, a decent swivel chair, two coffee tables, two bookcases and two pinboards! There's also a "comfy chair" in each room, but a)they're not comfortable and b) they do have a tendency to collapse when you sit on them (keep your feet on the ground at all times)...” (Feb 2006)
- Best Feature
“Having two rooms, the view over the garden, the balcony, lots and lots of natural light!” (Feb 2006)
- Worst Feature
“Massive south-facing windows mean that the sun comes in all day. All the heat gets trapped in the room - it can be like working in a greenhouse. Also, the heating in the bedroom cannot be turned off, which makes the situation even worse in there. It's bearable in winter, but in summer it will be horrible...” (Feb 2006)
- General Comments
“Recently there has been a new bedder in A-Block who starts work on this staircase at 8 AM. There's no carpet. You may want to bring extension leads etc as there are hardly any sockets.” (Feb 2006)
