Noise

“Not bad except on Wednesday's when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen” (Jan 2006)

“The room is next to the 24 hour computer room, so there's a fair amount of people traffic, but the noise isn't really disturbingor particularly loud.” (Jan 2004)

Gyp Room

“Shared by a lot of people, but youre close enough to hall to not make it an issue. Bedder regularly 'forgets' that you should wash stuff up before putting them away in the cupboards.” (Jan 2006)

“Big kitchen, shared by 8 people, one floor down from the room” (Jan 2004)

Bath Room

“Bath next door. Heavily used by guest room couples. Together. Ideal for dogging. Two sinks on this floor aswell. The rest is downstairs, a long way downstairs. Dont get caught short - I learnt the hard way...but then discovered the bedder doesnt mind getting her hands dirty when it comes to cleaning, which is good.” (Jan 2006)

“Bath on the corridor, sinks on the corridor, loo one floor down, shower one floor down. all quite nice.” (Jan 2004)

Furniture

“I pawned most of it for, well, porn ironically enough. But theres still a desk, pull out table, sofa, chair, book shelves and a little cupboard thing.” (Jan 2006)

“In the bedroom: desk, chest of drawers, bed, bookshelfy thing with storage. In the living room: Ikea futon, which you get to keep if you want it, manky college sofa, dining table which pulls out if necessary, wardrobe.” (Jan 2004)

Best Feature

“The smell of damp” (Jan 2006)

“It's nice having two rooms; being the only room on the corridor means the bath is basically yours; the light is gorgeous and I have a nice view into St Mike's court.” (Jan 2004)

Worst Feature

“There are two separate rooms, which is good, but theryre not connected, which is a little odd. Too easy to lock yourself out.” (Jan 2006)

“Stairs, pigeons cooing outside, having to go down a floor to pee.” (Jan 2004)

General Comments

“The room's upstairs so youre basically on your own aside from internet addicts and guests. I imagine if I had friends it would be more lonely than normal. I think its a pretty good room, but it would be ideal if it was downstairs a bit.” (Jan 2006)

“These rooms are lovely and quiet, and having your own split set where each room is the size of a harvey court bedroom is v. unusual. And the furniture is cool, and the bedder is mad but quite efficient, and sometimes does the washing up.” (Jan 2004)
