- Noise
“I have the room organised so the bed is in the larger room (that doubles as the living room) and the smaller room is a study and has the sink, wardrobes etc. The study room gets a bit of noise from Rose Crescent as it isnt double glazed, but the bedroom gets very little noise when you shut the door through to the study” (Jan 2008)
“The bedroom (overlooks Rose Cres) is extremely noisy at night - there's no double glazing like there is in most of St Mike's - but with the help of an extremely long network cable you can make this little room into a study, and sleep in the big room which looks onto St. Mike's. This is much better for people watching/tea drinking/socialising anyway” (Jan 2007)
“The bedroom is fairly noisy, particularly early in the morning from Rose Crescent but it's not too much of a problem if you've got earplugs!” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Good points: only shared with 3 other people and has 2 combi microwaves, 2 toasters and 2 kettles. Bad points: Its at the other end of the corridor, which annoyingly means walking through 2 stupid fire doors and then the gyp room door, so a bit awkward to carry stuff back to the room. Also its pretty small and fairly old-fashioned and dingy.” (Jan 2008)
“Shared between 4, at the other end of the corridor which is a pain, although the windowsill from the big room is usually cold enough to put milk etc out there. Rubbish cupboard space. Bit smelly.” (Jan 2007)
“Probably the furthest from the kitchen on my floor. Decent size with two hobs.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“On the same floor as the room there is a toilet and a separate bathroom with the world's biggest bath in it. So these are only shared with 3 others. But you have to go up to the 2nd floor to use the shower. Don't know exactly ho many its shared with, but there are hardly ever queues” (Jan 2008)
“This is the worst thing about G staircase - just 3 showers for 23 people. Shower one floor up, bath on this floor which is MASSIVE. G staircase has no other bad points though, and as it's one of the biggest it's really nice and social.” (Jan 2007)
“Small toilet and bath next door, shower upstairs.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“I have: a big desk, 2 large chests of draws/shelves, a built in wardrobe, 2 massive floor-to-ceiling storage cupboards (one blocked a bit by the bed), a dining table with extendable leaves that could seat 6-8, a coffee table, 2 comfy chairs, 4 dining chairs and a piano” (Jan 2008)
“Main room - piano, 2 arm chairs, three upright chairs, dinign table, coffee table, bedside table, 2 big built in cupboards, bed. Small room - desk, bookcase, wardrobe, chest drawers, the best desk chair EVER. All bad condition and falling apart - lots of things are held together by selotape - apart from the piano and desk chair.” (Jan 2007)
“Large dining table, desk, shelvey things, massive wardrobe space, chest of drawers lots of chairs.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“You can climb out of the study window onto the flat roof above French Connection on Rose Crescent. Brilliant for late-night dancing and heckling of the Van of Life. The window in the big room that overlooks St Mikes is massive, so you get lots of sunlight and a great place to sit with a cup of tea and people watch! The piano is the best I have found in a Caius undergrad room” (Jan 2008)
“The roof terrace! Out of the little room window you can go onto the roof above French Connection - and this is the only room with access onto it. Perfect for watching the world go by and gin parties. And the piano, which is really nice.” (Jan 2007)
“Very big and overlooking St Mike's court and Rose Crescent, perfect for wasting time... (also includes a piano!)” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The internet point is at the total opposite side of the room to the desk, so bring a VERY long cable You need loads of extension cables and lamps to make it bright enough to see properly to work/do makeup etc when its dark outside, as the main lights are really weak. Its above the workroom so you sometimes get woken up by hammers or drills” (Jan 2008)
“Only 2 double plug sockets for a very large space, windows don't shut properly, dirty carpet. Can't stand anywhere naked without being seen by someone.” (Jan 2007)
“Noise, noise, noise. Other than that... nothing really.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“This is an amazing room - i absolutely love it! The bedder is so nice and friendly and cleans and empties the bin everyday (but never comes too early or makes you feel guilty for still being in pjs) Its nice to be able to separate your entertaining and sleeping space from all you work and 'stuff' - you can just shove it all in the smaller room and forget about it!” (Jan 2008)
“Lots of light, the most brilliant bedder, lots of cupboard space - this is a really really nice room. I think it's reserved for musicians because of the piano though.” (Jan 2007)
“I think it goes to musicians, at least priority.” (Jan 2003)
