- Noise
“Bedroom pretty quiet (looks into St Mikes). Living room generally isn't that noisy from the market (it's the furthest along from Market Square and two floors up), but sometimes the bells from St Marys can get a bit annoying.” (Feb 2005)
“No noise in bedroom, but the other room looks onto market square, so can be noisy sometimes, and the bells from the nearby church can be fairly loud.” (Jan 2003)
“The 2 rooms are separated by a corridor, with the work room facing market square adn the bedroom facing the inside of st. mike's. Work room a little noisey sometimes but with the library so close, it's easy to go there.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Pretty big for 4 people sharing. Has 3 ancient bunsen burner style hobs which seem ok. There is also a really old microwave that seems to belong to college which is useful. Otherwise normal stuff - fridge, sink and decent sized cupboards.” (Feb 2005)
“shared between 4 people. Has 2 quite old gas cookers, and no other cooking facilities” (Jan 2003)
“Gyp room right next door with 3 other people sharing it. 3 hobs, fridge and massive sink. Fairly large.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“There is one shower-only room, a seperate bath and shower combo and a seperate toilet. Shared between 4 - all pretty standard. Sinks are all in the bedrooms.” (Feb 2005)
“There's a seperate large shower room as well as a room with a bath and shower, and a toilet, all at the end of the corridor. No stairs to get to the bathroom facilities! All shared between 4 people” (Jan 2003)
“1 bathroom with toilet, shower and bath. Another separate toilet next door, with a shower cubicle big enough to fit 10 people in (if you want!) next to that too.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Bedroom has obvious - bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe, bedside table (and sink). Living room has a normal desk, desk chair, a dining table (with no seperate chairs!!), two armchair style chairs and a small round table. There is also a gas fire in the room.” (Feb 2005)
“No sofa, just a few chairs. There's a main desk and a desk on the other side of the room for computer etc.” (Jan 2003)
“Desk with drawers, a big table with extra leaves and lots of cupboard space in work room. In bedroom, big wardrobe with chest of drawers too.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Having a set is quite nice - allowing you to actually escape the room you work in for sleep. Both rooms are a pretty good size, and the views are decent. Also closest room to kitchen and bathrooms. I think its probably the best floor to be on in G/H - trading off between noise from the market and too many stairs.” (Feb 2005)
“Location in the centre of town, view of the market, 2 rooms” (Jan 2003)
“Great positioning and only on first floor so not too many stairs!!” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Having the rooms seperated by a corridor is not ideal, especially as each needs the same key (have to be careful not to lock yourself out!). Also, a set can be a bit annoying if you are used to listening to music/watching films on your computer whilst in bed, since its all now in the living room. Nothing more specific wrong with the room though.” (Feb 2005)
“bit of a climb up the stairs, especially when unpacking. Also, the light isnt very bright so extra lamps needed.” (Jan 2003)
“It's a little cold, but there is a gas fire that can go very hot! Also, no TV aerial socket!” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“One of the better third year rooms. The main room can get a bit cold; the gas fire is ok, but takes a while to get going. Decor isn't amazing, but not bad by college standards (as long as you don't mind flower-print curtains from the 60s).” (Feb 2005)
“Pity about no sofa. Good sunlight through the very large windows. The bedder's friendly” (Jan 2003)
“Generally good room - very happy with it.” (Jan 2003)
