- Noise
“Room is normally very quiet. Window faces inwards onto tree court and is well above street level so no noise from passing traffic, or people. Top floor of staircase so not much passing noise from people. Staircase is a mix of student and fellows rooms, so not overly noisy. Noise does travel on the staircase though, so can hear bedders and others coming and going. Can hear bells from St. Mary's chime out the hours, but this is not very disruptive and has never caused a problem. During bad weather, the sound of the flagpole in the wind can be annoying” (Jan 2008)
“Virtually no noise par a small trickle of Caians when the bar closes, and then only infrequently.” (Feb 2006)
“Basically no noise. Except for the church bells on Sundays.. but you can't really escape that.” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“3 People share the gyp, which is on this floor and is very small. Has the standard Caius provided equipment, the fridge is new but very small. Lovely view down Kings' Parade, slightly obscured by an ugly mounted convection microwave combi oven.” (Jan 2008)
“Only three of us share it, but it's so small only one person can use it at once. It has a gas ring, sink, kettle and grill.” (Feb 2006)
“It's the smallest kitchen in the world, with just about enough space for a toaster. But it's just for 3 people, so it's all good.” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“Toilet on this floor and shower 1 floor below. The shower is shared by the whole staircase, so on occasions I have had to wait. There is a bath in the basement, 4 floors below.” (Jan 2008)
“There is a very small toilet room but six feet from my door. A shower is available one floor down (never used it - I hate showers) and a bath in the basement, which is quite a trek (4 floors). It can be quite unpleasant in the morning, with half-a-dozen bedders gawping at you around the housekeepers' office...” (Feb 2006)
“One loo just outside for about 3 people, and a showever the next floor down, which is hardly ever busy when I want to use it.” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“Good large desk and desk lamp, 2 comfy chairs and wooden desk chair. Plenty of shelving, bedside table on wheels, large chest of drawers. Annoyingly the network point is across the room from the most logical place for the desk, so you will need an extra long network cable unless you want to compromise on where you arrange your furniture. 2 double wall sockets on different sides of the room.” (Jan 2008)
“Large desk, desk chair, mirror, fragile coffee table, two comfy chirs, chest of drawers. The desk is above average, the rest is fairly standard.” (Feb 2006)
“Big desk, single bed, two comfy seats and a bed-side table.” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“Central in college, quiet and with interesting turret window with stunning views all the way from Kings chapel round to St. Johns and an improbably large number of chimneys to count. Not needing a clock/watch because I can read the time from the Trinity Chapel bell tower. High but sloping ceilings add interest” (Jan 2008)
“The turret offers a great panorama of sites - i.e. all of Tree Court, John's chapel, Trinity then right round to the UL, which I think's probably unique. It's very quiet (few people can be bothered to climb the stairs to bother you), fairly large and warm.” (Feb 2006)
“It's big for a single room, and it has its very own turret. I feel like Repunzel. The view over Tree Court and the other colleges is fantastic.” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“The window is right in the corner so the room can be quiet dark. Bring extra lamps - I have an extra reading lamp, floor lamp, fairy lights and bedside lamp, which makes it a really pleasant space. Being 3 flights of stairs up is quiet a walk.” (Jan 2008)
“The wardrobe space, like many in Tree Court, is laughably limited, so you might need a spare clothes rail. And obviously, if you hate stairs this is not the room for you.” (Feb 2006)
“So many stairs to climb. And that the porters don't approve of my bed time.” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“Room is always kept clean by bedder, walls were freshly painted January 2008. One of the bigger single rooms in Tree court I have seen.” (Jan 2008)
“The turret is the only source of natural light, so you will probably need a high-wattage bulb to compensate.” (Feb 2006)
“Now that the heating works, it's always nice and cosy. There's enough storage space, and more than enough shelves. It's nice to face into college, rather than out into the road, but the small turret window means that it's not that bright. Other than that, it's a really nice place to be in.” (Jan 2004)
