- Noise
“Noisy on in early hours after student nights in Fez, Cindies etc” (Jan 2008)
“Can be quite noisy at night because of the van of life and also market square attracting people who like to dance to hip hop blaring out of the sub-woofers of a Vauxhall Nova with all its doors open.” (Jan 2006)
“Quite noisy at night due to Market square but you quickly get used to it. Better than the rooms that are lower down on the same side.” (Jan 2004)
“noisyish at night cos outside the life van, but quite high so not too bad.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Beside my set...6 of us share” (Jan 2008)
“It's alright. Shared with 5 other people it has plenty of cupboard space and two gas hobs, one of which burns very inefficiently causing a 3 foot flame to shoot out. There are also 2 sinks in which to pile dirty dishes. Like all the kitchens in G staircase there aren't many surfaces on which to chop stuff and the window is just out of reach unless you climb on the fridge, meaning that the fire alarm is more difficult to beat without the use of a sock.” (Jan 2006)
“Right next door, quite large, shared with 5+me. Two steps from my room” (Jan 2004)
“6 sharing. 2 rubbish gas hobs and 2 sinks, right outside the room” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“2 showers for 6 people, just down the corridor” (Jan 2008)
“There is one bathroom which has a bath with a shower. This is shared between 6 and has ample space for everyone to leave their shower stuff in there on the windowsill. There are two bogs in two seperate rooms so there's no waiting for someone in the shower when you need the loo.” (Jan 2006)
“Two toilets and one shower on the floor. 5 sharing + me. 7 steps from my room. Shower is weak for hair washing if you are a girl- or Giora therefore we use the shower down one floor. Not too much hassle.” (Jan 2004)
“2 toilets on this floor, v close. plus one shower.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“loads of it” (Jan 2008)
“There's a comfy chair, a 2 person seat, a swively chair, a desk with loads of drawers, a cabinet/bookshelf type jobbie, a coffee table, a bedside table, a large chest of drawers and a fold out dining table (which is good for poker). So basically you're sorted for furniture. There's a decent gas fire in the living room and a shite radiator in the bedroom. The built in wardrobe is quite big and there's loads of cupboard space.” (Jan 2006)
“Have two big storage cupboards. One commode thing, one cupboard- quite large, one sofa, one (once was) comfy chair, a desk chair and a desk and a table that could be used as an eating table with lift up sides and a small coffee table and a bedside table- oh and a bed.” (Jan 2004)
“1 large table, 1 desk, 1 armchair + 1 sofa thing” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“view...over market square and size. gas fire.” (Jan 2008)
“The views over Market Square and Rose Crescent are quite good (it's quite fun to throw ballons and watermelons out the window and watch people's reactions). Being in the centre of town is also really good if, like me, you haven't experienced it before.” (Jan 2006)
“Having a non split set and it being quite large.” (Jan 2004)
“view over market sq.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“4th floor” (Jan 2008)
“The fact it's up on the 4th floor is a pain on the arse when moving in or out, or when coming home drunk. It's also annoying that the gate for St Mike's doesn't have a swipe card bit any more so you have to wake the porters up after 3am.” (Jan 2006)
“The view over market square is very distracting when you are trying to work- no pretty spires to gaze at instead. Mainly the fact it is on the fourth floor when moving in and out.” (Jan 2004)
“not enough plug sockets” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“bedder is AMAZING” (Jan 2008)
“The sockets are few in number but, as always, a few extension leads will solve that. The bedder's really nice and can do her work without disturbing you so long as you leave the bin in the living room when you're asleep. She even replaced the lightbulb this morning before I got up.” (Jan 2006)
“sunlight- good, bedder- lovely, she cleans your room whenever you will let her get to it. decor- a bit shabby, amazing wardrobe space, heating is a (dangerous?) gas fire and a radiator in the bedroom that doesn't heat very effectively, seem to be enough sockets.” (Jan 2004)
“bedder not too great. should be a nice room in the summer. slightly dodgy gas heater.” (Jan 2003)
