- Noise
“Quite noisy from Market Square all the time, but if you close the windows (bedroom's double glazed) you'll barely notice, esp if you play some music!” (Feb 2006)
“Slight background noise at all times of day due to it being above the market, but not too bad since the room is fairly high up and there is double glazing in the bedroom.” (Jan 2005)
“Bedroom has double glazing so very little noise. Occasionally noise from van of life late at night or lorries early in the morning. Sitting room fairly quiet, noisier if the window is open during the day and weekends. SOmetimes here people banging doors, fiddling in kitchen at night or early morning.” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“Just across the corridor, has fairly standard facilities. Horrible scary old gas hobs that I've never used for fear of explosion” (Feb 2006)
“Gyp room is right next door, of average size, and well equipped with microwave and 2 cooking rings. Shared between 8.” (Jan 2005)
“Opposite bedroom, 7/8 people sharing, reasonable size but not much workspace. 3 ringed gas hob which is good.” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“Fairly standard, shower and toilet, in seperate rooms. Shared by the whole floor (about 6 people), but at least it's on the same floor!” (Feb 2006)
“Bathroom and shower close by on same floor. Also shared between 8.” (Jan 2005)
“jsut along corridoor on same floor, one toilet and a bath/shower in separate room. Again 7/8 sharing but not really a problem. Shower on floor above and below if ever busy.” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“Nice large desk, dining table (which I use as a desk extension), used to have a sofa but it disappeared over Christmas. Now I have 2 big chairs, a little chair and a desk chair, so plenty of seating, coffee table.” (Feb 2006)
“Lots of furniture, mostly in good condition.” (Jan 2005)
“large desk, seperate table, sofa, chair, coffee table, big bookshelves/cupboard, lots of storage space, wardrobe, chest of drawers.” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“View over Market Square - great for people watching, distracting though. Like the 2-room set, plenty of room and privacy as both rooms are just mine” (Feb 2006)
“Proximity to town, large windows, warm, close to everything. Lots of storage space.” (Jan 2005)
“lots of space, the two rooms not being seperated by a corridoor, good view of market square” (Jan 2004)

“Can be noisy from Market Square, Gyp room's pretty scary.” (Feb 2006)
“Nothing in particular” (Jan 2005)
“lack of plug sockets, noise from kitchen.” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“Gets plenty of sun, curtains not too effective (like every room in College!). Plenty of wardrobe/cupboard space, I haven't had to use the void for a vac, which is great. Reasonable number of sockets although, like all College rooms, bring extension leads! V nice room. I was about 30 in the ballot, and I'm pleased with what I got.” (Feb 2006)
“Bright, bedder is very friendly and cleans often.” (Jan 2005)
“sunlight very direct during the day into sitting room, electric heater not gas.” (Jan 2004)
