- Noise
“Bedroom overlooks Rose Crescent, very close to Gardies, so can get noisy late at night, especially friday/saturday, but you'll soon get used to it. Living room is nice and quiet.” (Jan 2006)
“Really quiet during the day. Unfortunately the bedroom has a lovely view of Gardies so its very noisy between midnight and 3ish. Fine if you're a heavy sleeper but annoying if like me you're easily disturbed.” (Jan 2004)
“Not at all noisy.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Shared kitchen with B3. It is between our two rooms and links them. Reasonable size for just 2 of us, 2 gas rings. There is a fridge in each of our rooms.” (Jan 2006)
“Small but only shared between my room and B3. Two gas hobs, plenty of cupboard space but little worktops. Its a really good kitchen if you get on well with your neighbour....it means you can shout to each other from your rooms!” (Jan 2004)
“Share with next door, room 3. Gas cooker (woohoo!) but not much else. (Better than last year, certainly...) I've heard rumours of ovens, but not here, it would seem. Fridge in the living room, next to the desk. Have a cold pint while you work. ^_-” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Two toilets and two showers shared between 6, never had to wait. In the basement, so two flights of stairs away, not really a problem although staircase can be a bit chilly.” (Jan 2006)
“Two toilets and two showers shared between 6. All in the basement so its a bit annoying going down 2 flights of stairs in your towel!” (Jan 2004)
“The loo is two floors down in tbe basement, located next to the showers. However, you do have a wash basin in the bedroom, so unless you've bladder complaints, you should be okay... <g>” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Reasonable size desk. A couple of comfy chairs and a couple of other chairs. Two book small book cases, a couple of cupboards, a small coffee table, chest of drawers. No proper wardrobe, there is a rail in an alcove with a curtain to draw across in front.” (Jan 2006)
“Large desk, bookcases, 2 small chairs, 2 large chairs and a drinks cabinet (!) in the main room. Ample cupboard and wardrobe space in the bedroom.” (Jan 2004)
“Big desk, two bookcases, a coffee table, a cupboard thing (I use it to store the HiFi + Dreamcast; quite versatile), two single and one double `sofas'. And a office swivel chair type thing. In the bedroom, there's a single 5 drawer dresser; coat hangers a-plenty in the wardrobe-of-sorts (built into a recess in the wall.)” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Good size, good location. Great if you get on well with the person in B3.” (Jan 2006)
“Its big.” (Jan 2004)
“Big.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The noise from Gardies can annoy you, especially if you are a light sleeper and like early nights. Living room can be a bit drafty/cold, just have to crank up the heating.” (Jan 2006)
“The noise from Gardies.” (Jan 2004)
“Don't open your bedroom window unless you like the smell of Gardies. (I normally only open it for a couple of hours in the morning, during lectures.)” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“No real complaints. Quite dark in the bedroom. Radiator in bedroom makes strange noises, but that will probably get fixed. A dining table might have been nice. It's maybe not as social as some other staircases, eg G,H.” (Jan 2006)
“I'm really pleased with my room this year. Its a good size and it is more convenient having the rooms together rather than apart like some of the split sets in G and H staircase.” (Jan 2004)
“By no means is this a palacial residence, but IMHO one of the nicer rooms around St Mike's. Being on the first floor is a definite advantage unless you're an exercise-freak. ^_- It has a beautifully painted college crest on the mantlepiece above where the fireplace used to be. (Don't worry, you get an electric heater, and no fees for that unlike HC.)” (Jan 2003)
