Noise

“Bedroom is very quiet, living room is slightly noiser but only now I think of it. Might be louder in the summer when the windows are open.” (Jan 2008)

“Bedroom faces into St Mike's Court so very quiet. The living room faces onto the Market Square, however, is relatively high up so noise isn't a problem.” (Jan 2008)

“Bedroom so very quiet. Living room overlooking market square - ringside seats for drunken brawls at 2am after cindies.” (Jan 2004)

Gyp Room

“Decent size gyp room shared between 4 of us. It is at the other end of the corridor” (Jan 2008)

“At the end of the corridor and is therefore shared with others on the floor. Standard Caius gyp-room.” (Jan 2008)

“End of corridor (good thing for me), 4 sharing, probably one of the best kitchens in Caius (not that that's saying much), microwave so old it wasn't even designed to rotate.” (Jan 2004)

Bath Room

“Big shower which isn't pretty but is decent and a big bathroom. It is at the other end of the corridor.” (Jan 2008)

“Fine.” (Jan 2008)

“Good shower and bath: both are cow size! Only 4 share!” (Jan 2004)

Furniture

“Living room has a desk, a dining table, 2 dining chairs, and two slightly more comfy chairs, a desk chair, gase fire, 2 bookshelves and a really big cupboard for storage. Bedroom has a bed, another chair, fitted wardrobes and drawers, a bedside table and a sink.” (Jan 2008)

“Living Room: Dining table, chairs, soft chair, large window sill whcih can double as extra seating, bookcase, desk, desk chair. Bedroom: bed, bedside table, drawers/shelves unit, built-in wardrobe, sink, mirror.” (Jan 2008)

“Good desk, dining table, usual stuff. No sofa” (Jan 2004)

Best Feature

“The view from the living room is great - it overlooks the market (which is beautiful at xmas) and the whole wall is windows - the bedroom has a nice view over the court in st mikes so is really quiet. It is a fairly large set with a little entrance way to hang your coats (not split like most the rooms in H) and has a big dining table which is a plus. It also has LOADS of storage space which is great when it comes to packing up over the holidays.” (Jan 2008)

“Fact that the bedroom faces into the court which ensures it is quiet. Windows in the living room are very large and therefore allow for a lot of natural light. The view over the market square is also very good, ideal for people-watching when bored but with the added bonus that you're high enough up that noise isn't an issue.” (Jan 2008)

“Managed to fit my whole room into cupboards for storage over the holiday! It's a non-split set, so can close outer door and shut out all noise from the corridor. Like most of G+H St Mike's, gas fires are useful.” (Jan 2004)

Worst Feature

“Having to go through the slowest gate in the world to get in and out of st mikes!” (Jan 2008)

“Bedroom is a little darker than the living room due to the window being frosted, however, this is countered by the bedroom being large, having lots of storage etc. so is only a minor point.” (Jan 2008)

“Bedder so laid back about cleaning you would think they were a student!” (Jan 2004)

General Comments

“I think this is a brilliant room, it doesn't really have any major problems as far as I'm concerned.” (Jan 2008)

“Really good room - probably one of the best in College. Not many stairs to climb so convenient when it comes to moving-in. Additional cupboards in the living room so storage really isn't a problem. Great view. Adequate amount of furniture. There's also a little entrance hall where there are pegs to hang coats and enough space for shoes which comes in very handy!” (Jan 2008)

“South facing des-res. Great for playing eye-spy in the market when you don't fancy working. I reckon it's one of the best rooms in college.” (Jan 2004)
