- Noise
“Rose Crescent often noisy at night but you get used to it. Double glazing improves things a lot. Only bedroom is affected by noise - lounge is quiet because it faces into St. Mike's Court.” (Jan 2006)
“Bedroom faces out onto Rose Crescent, overlooking between McDonalds and Mappin and Webb (the jewellers on the corner). Street can sometimes be noisy at night, but the bedroom has double glazing, and I don't find it a problem. Not sure how it compares to any other rooms in Old Courts or Mikes, but I wouldn't consider it to be a noisy room.” (Jan 2005)
“not bad at all. occasionally noise because bedroom overlooks rose crescent, but room is double glazed and second floor so it is rarely a big problem” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“Share gyp room with next door (F6). Fridge, single gas ring. Not suited to cooking at all really, very limited space. Just go to canteen every day instead, it's much easier.” (Jan 2006)
“Gyp Room is probably the only downside of the room, is shared between me and F4, across the corridor. It's got a sink, some shelves, a fridge and basic gas hob, but only room for one and essentially no preparation space. But does the job for making simple food.” (Jan 2005)
“shared with one other, just across the corridor. it's v small and only has one hob so not very good. fridge in the room tho so lack of space in gyp room is not a big problem.” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“Quality - we're the only staircase with a bathroom in it (everyone else has to go down to the basement). Thus it's shared between 6, which is fine. Very decent shower, plus 2 basins. It's right next door to my room (as is the toilet which is seperate), so very convenient too. One of the big advantages of living in F.” (Jan 2006)
“The toilet is directly outside my door (unlike all A-E in St. Mikes where they are in the basement), and a shower and two sinks next door.” (Jan 2005)
“bathroom with shower and basins right next door. only 2 people use the basins but all 6 on the staircase use the shower.” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“I have a proper, very comfy sofa, armchair, and roller-chair. The sofa is awesome, can't think of anyone else with as good a sofa. There's a desk, a dining table, a chest-of-drawers, shelves and a cabinet/cuboard thing. Overall, very good quality and shedloads of space. There's a large wardrobe in the bedroom and extra storage.” (Jan 2006)
“Great selection of furniture. Desk, chest of drawers, dining table (w/ pull out leaves), good two-seater sofa, easy chair, coffee table desk chair and office chair, bookshelves, old wooden sideboard and a gas fire with "G&C" crested mantlepiece.” (Jan 2005)
“i have a small desk, big dining-style table (which i use as a desk), chest of drawers, coffee table, a really nice wood thing with cupboards and gold handles on the drawers (!), bookshelf, comfy chair and a decent sofa. very well furnished room” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“Huge lounge; great decor (nice paintwork, carpet, fireplace); quality furniture especially the sofa; 3 windows in lounge mean it's very light; loads of storage space.” (Jan 2006)
“Size, furniture, light and bright with high ceilings.” (Jan 2005)
“the sofa, the size, the really nice gold handles on the cupboard unit, having the shower next door (unlike other staircases in Mike's), nice view over mike's court...etc. In short it's a really really nice room!” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“No washbasin or mirror, only 2 double sockets in lounge. Street noise can be annoying.” (Jan 2006)
“Gyp Room (esp the size)” (Jan 2005)
“The only slight irritations are not having a washbasin in the room (not the end of the world since there is one right next door), and not having my own gyp room (again not really the end of the world!)” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“Basically I'd say this is the best room in college. If it had a washbasin it'd be perfect, although it's hardly an effort to go next door. If you're really high in the ballot, get this room - you won't be disappointed. Just bring a hanging mirror and you're sorted.” (Jan 2006)
“Decor in good condition, carpet seems fairly new, as far as I've seen one of the best rooms available. I came 11th (or there-abouts) in the ballot and was happy with my choice.” (Jan 2005)
“bedder is nice, decor good, picture rails all round the room, not enough sockets so bring lots of splitter plugs. it's a lovely room, oh and did I mention the sofa?” (Jan 2004)
