Overlooking a street.
- Noise
“Easily the worst aspect. My room overlooks Trinity Street, so an odd collection of Neanderthals can be relied upon to be bellowing about something pretty much every night, so I always wear earplugs. Apart from my neighbours music it is not too bad during the day; there is double-glazing in the street-facing window which cuts alot of it out.” (Feb 2005)
“Reasonably noisy as on the corner facing the porter's lodge. Late night prowlers in the computer room can also be heard.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“A decent size, but fairly dreadful: shared with around 10, it contains only a hob, a toaster and a toastie machine, a few yards from my room. The college have recently started to refurbish it, but they seem to have given up again for the moment...” (Feb 2005)
“Adequate, but shared between 9 people.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Very odd arrangements: we have 4 different rooms; one contains a toilet, one a shower, one a washbasin, one a bath (which is upstairs). I should say all are adequate par the shower, which I have never dared set foot in. There are other facilities downstairs, if you can be bothered.” (Feb 2005)
“The worst part. One toilet, one washbasin and one shower between 9 people. Can be hectic in the morning, but OK if most of the neighbours are arts students!” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Nice fireplace, coffee table, adequate desk, bedside table, welsh dresser-type thing, wardrobe; all adequate if a little old. Only three chairs, which is a problem; but charming nonetheless - decent armchair, *lovely* large red desk chair and an odd little Victorian-style clerk's chair.” (Feb 2005)
“A huge armchair, dresser and the comfiest desk chair ever!” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Its unique selling point is the fact that its the only room to have windows facing out onto the Porter's lodge and the entrance to St. Mike's and Mary's, which gives ample opportunity for hailing/harassing/annoying fellow Caians. Its also very central and they have put in a nice new blue carpet which is a great improvement on the hideous brown excuses installed in all the other rooms. Plus it's just below the computer room, and just above the Clerk of the Works office, so it is easy to complain...” (Feb 2005)
“The central position, it is quite large and was redecorated last year. It also has a fireplace with electric heater.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The noise and the facilities. Having said that, I got this room as a second year 67th on the ballot; and since it's a decent sized-room and very central it's a fair trade. I would not recommend it to a third year, however.” (Feb 2005)
“Not enough facilites - but it is workable.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“I should point out that I have never tried the network socket and that there is only 2 plug points for the entire room, so I have extension leads everywhere. The front-facing window cannot be properly opened because of the double glazing, but the college will remove the glazing on request. Our bedder is charming but does not clean a great deal.” (Feb 2005)
“Slightly dark and not much sunlight. Excellent for a second year room, not for a 3rd year though!” (Jan 2003)
