Overlooking a street.
- Noise
“There is now double glazing so the noise isn't too bad when all the windows are closed. If you want the windows open though it is very noisy until about 2 am” (Feb 2008)
“Quite noisy. Two windows overlooking Trinity Street, annoying drunk people singing and shouting, ridiculous Chav cars drag racing and booming anti-socially. I have invested in a large water gun to "encourage" people to move along, and persuaded the college to put in double glazing which helps a little bit. Is a definite downside.” (Feb 2007)
“noisy at night from evening til about 2am sometimes” (Feb 2006)
“Top tip: If you are easily disturbed by noise, do not chose this room. Loud music from "phat cars cruising past" at unsociable hours...” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Goos size, good fridge storage ( 2 fridges), modern” (Feb 2008)
“Quite good, very close. Often a bit smelly, but a big window and plenty of storage.” (Feb 2007)
“good gyp room, quite large and well-stocked” (Feb 2006)
“Usable on a good day. Following the weekend however, you would be better heading down to Dojos to avoid possible food poisoning!” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“awful! There is one toilet and 2 showers for 8 people. I wouldn't personally step into one of those showers” (Feb 2008)
“Absolutely terrible (esp. if you're a girl). Well, there's only one sink between 6. And one toilet. Two showers - one's unspeakable, the other's very good, so not problematic.” (Feb 2007)
“small but good shower and toilet” (Feb 2006)
“Well...about 10 people sharing one pretty lousy shower and toilet. Not great!” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“LOADS- 2 arm chairs, chest of drawers, chest of shelves, desk, bed side table, cupboard with draws, other general bits of furniture floating around” (Feb 2008)
“Bookcase, chest of drawers, desk (quite small), desk chair, blocked off fireplace, coffee table and two comfy chairs. Alright, I guess.” (Feb 2007)
“desk, bedside table, lamp, wardrobe, chest of drawers, armchair, little table, book shelf” (Feb 2006)
“Large desk, wardrobe, chest of drawers, small table, two chairs...all reasonably good quality. Wardrobe doesn't smell great...Plenty of storage space though.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“good size, really cozy, brilliant location...the room has character.” (Feb 2008)
“It's a good size, brilliant location (falling out of the window and wham! you're in town) (don't ever do this, please). Nice view. You can make it very comfortable and cosy if you try.” (Feb 2007)
“location- beautiful view and size- very spacious” (Feb 2006)
“Well, quite large so pretty "sociable"” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“toilet facilities” (Feb 2008)
“Noisy, dark (bring lamps! I have four), no sink.” (Feb 2007)
“noise at night” (Feb 2006)
“Only one double socket in the whole room-so forget bedside lamps and other such luxuries.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“not that much sunlight..although good view over caius” (Feb 2008)
“Bedder - good but insane. The wardrobe has not been replaced since the '50s, no hanging space for girl's dresses, but a handy built-in shelf for cufflinks, tie rack etc... Not perfect, but it's a great place to live!” (Feb 2007)
“Reliable bedder, 2 windows, so quite bright, close to toilet and gyp room” (Feb 2006)
“Sunlight? Room not suitable for people who photosynthesise! Bedder? "I'm not waking you up am I?!" (roaring hoover)...(general crashing around)...quick glance at the clock reveals it is bearly 8am...*zzz* And as a last comment...place hasn't been decorated for years so bring a few posters!” (Jan 2003)
