- Noise
“Above market square but really not that noisy other than saturday nights.” (Jan 2008)
“Can get pretty noisy late at night as the room is on the corner of Rose Crescent and Market Square, but the door separating the rooms cuts out most of the noise from the Van of Life and double glazing helps. If you're a light sleeper, then probably not the best room for you.” (Feb 2007)
“Main noise sources include: a) Van of Life b) Gardies c) The bustle of the marktet square d) The guy above wanking on the squeaky bed/floor Solutions to the noise sources: a) The double windows they've installed which keep out the noise b) Telling John X (acutally that's too much info, let's call him 'ardbattlaxe) to keep it down” (Jan 2005)
“quite noisy as bedroom overlooks rose crescent (market square end). Not as bad as some of the rooms closer to gardies though” (Jan 2004)
“Very noisy - above a shop, and on the corner of market square and rose crescent, ie. about the closest room in cambridge to the van of life.. BUT there is double glazing, and the bedroom looks out only onto rose crescent, so it could be worse.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“fine, does it matter now that there are no hobs?” (Jan 2008)
“Next to the gyp room, with 4 people on the floor sharing 2 combi ovens, 2 sinks and a fridge. No hobs though.” (Feb 2007)
“Fou-er people share it. It has two rings of fire, plus whatever other jazz someone puts in it.” (Jan 2005)
“reasonable sized, four people sharing, next to my room. Two stone age hobs. Quite minging” (Jan 2004)
“4 share, immediately next door to my room. Gas rather than electric hobs” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“You have to go upstairs for a shower but there is a bath on this floor.” (Jan 2008)
“Bath and toilet on the same floor, but you have to go to 2nd floor to use the shower. Not really a problem though.” (Feb 2007)
“Not enough room for an orgy in the shower, which is shared between about 10 and is upstairs. But on the plus side the bedrooms are big enough. Note: Pagey has passed out on the 2nd floor toilet, and I have thrown up in the ground floor toilet.” (Jan 2005)
“four people share the seperate bath and toilet. The three floors above have a shower and toilet each.” (Jan 2004)
“lavatory on the same floor, shared between 4. ok shower on the floor above” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Desk, chair, 2 armchairs, coffee table, ridiculous amounts of storage, bookcases, etc.” (Jan 2008)
“Medium sized desk, coffee table, comfy chair, and two desk chairs.” (Feb 2007)
“4 chairs supplied as standard, plus the one I nicked from Kings College bar. But I may be keeping that one.” (Jan 2005)
“normal desk, one coffee table, wooden desk chair, two standard arm chairs (plus one i nicked saved from the skip, it'll probably be there next year)” (Jan 2004)
“quite nicely furnished - good desk, lots of built in cupboards, two armchairs, shelves, coffee table etc” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Centre of town, a set, no stairs, good view of market square.” (Jan 2008)
“Sunshine in the morning, nice layout. G is the best staircase in St. Mike's cos there are loads of people on it, and my room is at the end of the corridor so it's a nice location.” (Feb 2007)
“The cool dinosaur poster, which won't be there next year.” (Jan 2005)
“Central, ok size, set, loads of storage space.” (Jan 2004)

- General Comments
“Best bedder in the world, loads of storage space, good heating. Really good room.” (Feb 2007)
“Sunlight: not enough. I blame the clouds. Carpet: no chunder or cum-stains found so far decor: bland, but posters can liven it up wardrobe: not enough but I have loadsa clothes Heating: Wicked gas fire that you can gas yourself with in times of crisis Sockets: not enough. I've started using many extension cords. But they're in the right place.” (Jan 2005)
“Sunlight in living room, bedder's ok, a few carpet stains, gas heater, two electrical sockets per room, one phone socket in living room. Feel free to come and check it out if you want.” (Jan 2004)
“The best room I've had of the three years. Nice bedder. Sitting room well lit, bed room gets less sun. Not perfect, but pretty good, and well worth choosing.” (Jan 2003)
