- Noise
“Staircase can be a bit echoey.” (Feb 2007)
“Not at all noisy. Basin gurgles when the person upstairs is using theirs. O staircase echoes, so you find out lots about your neighbours' lives from hearing their staircase conversations!” (Jan 2006)
“noisy corridor - echoes” (Jan 2005)
“Fairly quiet as faces in towards tree court, so don't really hear delivery lorries in the morning or bells from the church. Staircase itslef echoes quite alot though.” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“Really good, large, recently-refitted gyp rooms on floor below and above with around 6 people sharing 3 fridges.” (Feb 2007)
“Small but adequate. More cupboard space than the one upstairs. 5 people. 2 fridges. Usual college hob. 5 paces from room.” (Jan 2006)
“tiny - as usual - five people sharing” (Jan 2005)
“Gyp room very small, 5 people use it to cook, although only 2 can fit in there at any time! 2 fridges between 4 people, 2 hob rings, thats it!” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“2 on my floor - just built this year.” (Feb 2007)
“5 people sharing. Toilet, shower and 2 washbasins. If someone is having a shower nobody can use the toilet as the main door is locked. This isn't a huge problem though as there are facilities upstairs und downstairs. Decent size. Good shower. 5 people.” (Jan 2006)
“one between five, not too far from room” (Jan 2005)
“1 shower and toliet per floor, so thats between five of use. Bathroom is near to all 5 rooms. Shower is usually hot, not always, and rather unhomely, but it is a power shower. Toilet is ok, it is now fixed so doesn't move about or leak anymore.” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“Desk, 1 'comfy chair'” (Feb 2007)
“Average. Moderately sized desk. 2 armchairs (ugly but comfy). Desk chair. Bed OK. Coffee table. Large cupboards (not too much hanging space though). Bookcase. Basin in a cupboard. Mantlepiece. Noticeboard (unlike several other rooms on 'O')” (Jan 2006)
“no particularly comfy chairs, but two armchairs, nice size desk, coffee table, lots of wardrobe space.” (Jan 2005)
“Large desk, 2 giant wardrobes so lots of storage space, book case, coffee table, 2 big shares, computer chair at desk, no bed side cabinet.” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“View” (Feb 2007)
“Interesting view of the Caius gargoyles. Basin is a huge advantage. Interesting shape (7 walls!).” (Jan 2006)
“lots of wardrobe/cupboard space, nice (tho not overly large) size” (Jan 2005)
“Faces in so quiet, and it has just been painted so nice and bright with no cracks or damp patches. Not huge for a third year room, but very comfy, oh and it has 7 walls cause its abit of a wierd shape.” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“It's a bit dark- bring lamps. No storage space for files near the desk. No bedside table.” (Jan 2006)
“sink gurgles and throws water back up at all times of night and day - rather scary and unpleasant.” (Jan 2005)
“Sink makes funny noises sometimes, dodgy plumbing in tree court, water comes up my sink! but really not a big problem.” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“Lovely bedder. Nice pale yellow walls, relatively recently painted. Temperature just right. Lots of sockets. Can survey the movements of anyone going in or out of college. Carpet fine. O staircase is big, so there's nearly always someone around, even if that does mean it's noisier than the average.” (Jan 2006)
“lots of sockets, enough sunlight, everything generally fine other than sink and that phone socket which was meant to work didnt because of college wide NTL problems.” (Jan 2005)
“sunlight ok, good heating, 3 double plug sockets around the room, bedder seems ok though it always changes. Decoration is good as it said so room will probably have a poster ban soon.” (Jan 2004)
