- Noise
“bedroom overlooks court so is quiet. can hear some noise fromm rose crescent/van of life in lounge.” (Jan 2008)
“The living room looks out onto the van of life and giardia's road, so it can get a little noisy - but sometimes you get to watch fights! My bedroom isn't noisy at all (apart from damn church bells) but the other one can get noisy at night. I wouldn't say noise was a problem unless you are used to living in a monastery.” (Jan 2005)
“The Bedroom is facing St Mikes court so generally v little noise. Some more melodious noise from the Muso room with piano below and the muso room adjacent on F staircase” (Feb 2004)
- Gyp Room
“room to swing a hamster. got two sinks, a few cupboards, a tiny window, two microwaves, george, and a dualit toaster.” (Jan 2008)
“The gyp room has three gas plates that look extremely dangerous, but in fact cook much faster than those crappy electric ones you usually get. There isn't a huge amount of cupboard space so claim yours quick!” (Jan 2005)
“5 people share, adequate” (Feb 2004)
- Bath Room
“seperate toilet and shower rooms. shared between 5 people on this floor. also there is only a bath on the floor below so people from there sometimes come up to use shower. only really had to wait a couple of times though.” (Jan 2008)
“The shower is quite powerful and nice and warm (shared between 5). Can't say the same of the toilet tho - when it's cold you need to wear a hat AND gloves...” (Jan 2005)
“shower, no bath 9 people share (shared with floor below) but there are other bathrooms on the floors above” (Feb 2004)
- Furniture
“in lounge there is: a sofa, two armchairs, 7 other chairs, a dining table, a book case, a sideboard, 3 coffee table type things, a fireplace, two double wardrobes and a partridge in a pear tree. in bedroom: a bed, a bedside table, a chest of drawers, a desk, a chair, a bookcase, a sink and a double wardrobe.” (Jan 2008)
“We have a sofa and an armchair!! The sitting room is ace for parties as there is loads of space and when the night is over you can pass out on the sofa without even having to walk to your bed! (upstairs have a better one tho) There's also a reasonable size table, and loads of cupboard/shelf space, as well as some other little tables.” (Jan 2005)
“proper sofa and armchair in sitting room - v comfy, desk and sink in bedroom + usual college furniture. Lots of storage space in sitting room” (Feb 2004)
- Best Feature
“1. you share this suite with a mate. there's one lounge and two bedrooms between you. so it's really good if you get on with the other person. 2. if you choose the one bedroom before anyone else you can choose the other person you share with (with their consent) regardless of where they are on the ballot, so you won't end up sharing with a random. 3. the shared lounge makes it really sociable. 4. there is enough space to store a zoo. 5. cheap for what it is.” (Jan 2008)
“There a gas fire that will keep you warm, a nice sitting room, a bedroom better than my first year one (which was shit) and you don't need to walk up too many stairs when unpacking (that's important). And you get to share it all with a mate (make sure you get on with them well first!)” (Jan 2005)
“Massive sitting room with sofa, v sociable cos sharing, very homely.” (Feb 2004)
- Worst Feature
“1. can't lock the bedroom door so the person you share the suite with can come in at any time. 2. would be a nightmare if you discovered that you secretly hated the person you were living with. 3. gyp room could be better (but is still no worse than other ones in college)” (Jan 2008)
“The main room doesn't get much sunlight in the day, as with all college rooms they never have enough plug sockets. And you get to share it all with a mate (make sure you get on with them well first!)” (Jan 2005)
“Difficult to say! lighting is a little low because the sitting room is so big - so an extra lamp helps.” (Feb 2004)
- General Comments
“bedder: nice, overly chatty carpet: burnt (planning to get another one though) only one socket in bedroom, although there's a few in the lounge. internet cable sockets in both bedroom and lounge. feel free to pop round and have a look whenever you want.” (Jan 2008)
“There is a Prof Grierson (who's 94ish) living on the same floor, but he's never been any trouble, even when you play music real loud, and he asked one of my friends out for dinner... what a player” (Jan 2005)
“Bedder is nice, not huge amount of sunlight but not generally a problem, powerful gas fire in sitting room, good fun sharing with a good friend.” (Feb 2004)
