- Noise
“Exceptionally noisy in the bedroom (ended up moving bed into living room) on Friday/Saturday evenings, it's actually directly above McDonalds.” (Jun 2008)
“Rose crescent can be noisy at night for the bedroom, I recommend putting your bed in the living room and using the bedroom for storage/sink.” (Feb 2007)
“Mostly very peaceful, occassional noise from Rose Crescent late at night” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Close on non-existent, there is basically a small cupboard with a microwave, toaster, kettle and grill - the grill can't be opened however, since the roof slants. There is no sink in the gyp room” (Jun 2008)
“It isn't a gyp room, it is a cupboard with a microwave-oven in it. Inside the flat making it a 3 room suite so not sharing anything but toilets/shower with anyone else, however the rooms on the other side of the top floor of E and F have decent private gyp rooms too.” (Feb 2007)
“Its part of the room, but is only a single bunsen burner. No sink either.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“EXTREMELY far from the third floor (showers and toilets in the basement). I've never had to wait for a shower, no problems here.” (Jun 2008)
“Communal men's showers (Separated by partitions) near the toilets in the basement floor - a long way to walk. However there are private baths as well. The women's showers have a lock on the outside so I can't comment.” (Feb 2007)
“I'm on the top floor, toilets and showers in basement. This is the major drawback of this room. Otherwise fine, always clean with hot water.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Plenty of tables and cupboards, two comfy chairs and a desk chair. Lovely mantlepiece.” (Jun 2008)
“Normal desk, private fridge, Big dining table, lots of chairs but no sofa or good armchair. Would recommend inflatable/foldable furniture too.” (Feb 2007)
“Desk, dinning table with chairs, other comfy chairs, lots of storage space, including lots of storage space to keep things in over the holidays. I wouldn't trust gas heater.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Very large, no problems with storage/furniture, the staircase is also only shared between three people, so in general quite quiet (apart from exception stated above).” (Jun 2008)
“Private fridge and cooking facilities, view of King's Chapel, Cubby-hole (You'll see when you move in - it's epic), Isolation. Definitely the best room in college if you can deal with the downsides.” (Feb 2007)
“The size (its huge) and the views (they're fantastic).” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Ridiculous distance from bathroom, severe lack of cooking facilities.” (Jun 2008)
“Top floor of staircase - long way to toilets/showers. Have to do Washing up in bedroom sink - Gyp facilities suck but they are private. Don't expect your friends to trek up that often just to knock-on,” (Feb 2007)
“Distance to the toilet.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“1) Plenty of sunlight 2) Lovely bedder 3) not particularly attractive carpet, but not a problem 4) Sparse decor 5) Plenty of wardrobe space 6) Heating is by an electric heater - albeit not stylish, it did keep the room very warm consistently throughout the winter. 7) Not that many sockets, but not problematically so.” (Jun 2008)
“Bedder's ok, sunlight is ok, bit cold, has a wardrobe and heater, sockets are abundant. Great storage space. Easily the best room in college - Don't tell anyone though.” (Feb 2007)
“Brilliant room, some of the corners need to be enlightened with strategic placing of lamps. The bedder is also very good, you will actually get your room cleaned!” (Jan 2003)
