Noise

“Sitting room overlooks market square so fairly noisy from the market, boy racers and Great St Mary's bells. Not too bad though because I'm a few floors up. Bedroom's quiet.” (Feb 2008)

“Quite high up so not that much noise in the living room. Bedroom overlooks the court so very quiet.” (Feb 2007)

“The bedroom is very quite as it faces into the court. The living room, despite being on the 'noisy side' (looking out onto the market) is not actually very noisy at all as it is 3 floors up. Occasionally a bit of noise later on at night.” (Jan 2004)

Gyp Room

“Isn't the nicest looking kitchen in the world (bit like a lab) but decent size and two doors down from room. Shared with the 3 others on the corridor.” (Feb 2008)

“Gyp room is a decent size but only has a microwave so not that useful. Shared between 4. 2 secs down the corridor” (Feb 2007)

“Four people share the kitchen which is very close (2 doors down). Fridge, 2 gas hobs, cupboards, good size.” (Jan 2004)

Bath Room

“There's a shower room, a toilet and a bathroom all separate. The bathroom's huge and not much used (although there's a shower over the bath). The shower rooms a bit weird but the shower's good so it gets used by people on other corridors. Not usually a problem though.” (Feb 2008)

“Shower room, bathroom and toilet. Again 2 secs down the corridor and shared between four. Not the best quality- the shower water pressure is rubbish.” (Feb 2007)

“3 rooms: one with the toilet, one big shower room, one large bathroom. Shared between 4/5.” (Jan 2004)

Furniture

“In the sitting room: Big dining table, desk, office chair, "comfy" chair, coffee table, cupboard/bookshelf thing, built-in cupboard. Bedroom: Bed, bedside table, built-in wardrobe, chest of drawers.” (Feb 2008)

“Huge table, desk, loads of cupboards, shelves, chest of drawers. More storage space then even the most vain girl could ever use.” (Feb 2007)

“Living room has normal size desk, coffee table, book shelves unit, huge cupboards, fireplace, little corner table useful for hifi, 2 comfy chairs. Bedroom has bed, draws and dressing table, small bedside table, sink, wardrobe with large cupboard space above.” (Jan 2004)

Best Feature

“Size, loads of storage space” (Feb 2008)

“Lovely view, lots of space, lots of light.” (Feb 2007)

“Quiet bedroom, large living room, good view, generally quiet, great location, big windows so gets a lot of light in the living room.” (Jan 2004)

Worst Feature

“Lack of chairs, noise (esp the bells)” (Feb 2008)

“Lack of plugs, bring adaptors as there are only two plugs and are in really awkward place.” (Feb 2007)

“Price (but all the rooms in town are expensive, relatively good value really), lots of stairs to bring your stuff up at the beginning of term (but quiet by being higher up).” (Jan 2004)

General Comments

“Bedder is rubbish, generally turns up does nothing and smokes in your room. Sockets are a problem and the carpet and decor are standard reg. Apart from that its a top notch room” (Feb 2007)

“Nice bedder, usual bad curtains, lots of cupboard space, gas fire is very effective in living room, radiator in bedroom, not enough plug sockets so you'll need a lot of adaptors. All round good room.” (Jan 2004)
