- Noise
“You can hear the piano in the room below, but you get some nice tunes. Some noise from rose crescent in bedroom but the secondary screen thing blocks most of it out. Incidentally, the bit inbetween the window and the screen makes a good fridge for drinks.” (Jan 2008)
“Gardies outside window. Not too noisy, but can be very occasionally.” (Feb 2007)
“My bedroom over looks Rose Cresent. It is right above gardies and you can hear the music from La Raza really well! But, on the positive side I have a reinforced window- but this doesn't do much to lessen the noise!” (Jan 2005)
“No noise at all from living room, except when there are parades or protests outside the senate house. Bedroom overlooks gardies but has double glazing so is quiet enough to sleep in easily, with the exception of some Saturdays.” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“On this floor, shared between 3.” (Jan 2008)
“Not great. Though only three of us sharing.” (Feb 2007)
“There is one kitchen for three of us. It is small but close. However the fridge is tiny and there is only one lethal gas hob.” (Jan 2005)
“2 people share it, old style hobs are a fire hazard and in dire need of repair. Very close to room, and has fridge and microwave.” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“Quite a long way away (in the basement). Shared between 4 but depends how many boys on staircase. A little bit grotty, insects galore. Used by the college work men aswell.” (Jan 2008)
“Down three flights of stairs in the basement! (Washbasin on this floor.)” (Feb 2007)
“Its a bloody long way, six flights of stairs down which are usually icy cold. But, it is a reasonable size. There is one girls and one boys shower and toilet, a bath and an extra toilet, so not bad for the 7 on this staircase!” (Jan 2005)
“This room has no ensuite sink, instead there is an additional sink and a mirror slightly partitioned from the kitchen for that purpose. Bathroom is in the basement, which is a long way down. Almost too far down for some. I have heard rumours of bedroom sinks being used for that purpose...” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“Living room - desk, shelves in an alcove, separate shelves, 2 classic green chairs, coffee table. Gas fire, nice and toasty to sit by. Nice fireplace details. Big window. Bedroom - chest of drawers, wardrobe in alcove with 2 cupboards above and a curtain over the front. Bed. Fire escape facilities. Little tiny table.” (Jan 2008)
“Acceptable furniture.” (Feb 2007)
“I have a beautifully large desk, a minging coffee table, two chairs, a bookcase, a prison like iron bed, standard draws and a small table. My wardrobe is exciting as it is built into the wall, but it doesn't have any doors!” (Jan 2005)
“Large Desk. Additional computer table. 2 armchairs, one with adjustable recline. Coffeetable, bookshelf, swivel chair for desk. Large chest of drawers in bedroom.” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“The fire, size.” (Jan 2008)
“Light, warm, large.” (Feb 2007)
“The bedder is a star. My window in the living room is quite cool, but the view isn't great (roof of St Micheals church).” (Jan 2005)
“Hmmm... Its actully a really good room. I guess if you were so inclined, you could leave your curtains open all the time and parade around the room naked: there is no room in St Mikes that can actually see into this one, and there is the church roof directly opposite.” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“No sink or sofa.” (Jan 2008)
“No Washbasin.” (Feb 2007)
“Living above an organ scholar! The mould on the celing, my bedroom window is frosted so it is horrid and depressing, the door-less window and living so far away form the bathroom.” (Jan 2005)
“Lack of ensuite sink. Lack of bloody full length mirror.” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“Bedder really nice, carpet is brown. Wardrobe space very big as its a rail in an alcove. Sockets sufficient. Living room very light, gets lots of sun, back bedroom dark and the windows are frosted.” (Jan 2008)
“Gas fire. One terrible inset bookcase. But it can be covered.” (Feb 2007)
“There aren't many plug sockets.” (Jan 2005)
“Sunlight is good, bedder is good, wardrobe space is good (now that i have had the doors ripped out) heating is by radioactive gas heater, carpet crap, curtains horrendous, but overall a very good room. I would gladly choose it over all the rooms in A staircase - if it had a sink!” (Jan 2004)
