Overlooking a street.

Noise

“Can be fairly noisy on Trinity street - you get used to the bells.” (Feb 2007)

“The room overlooks King's Parade through one window and Trinity street through the other. Great St. Mary's Church is VERY close. It has bells - they ring the bells quite a lot. Actually doesn't disturb me very much but I can sleep through pretty much anything (lived in No.1 Morti last year with fire engines and tramps galore). If you're a light sleeper you may want to consider a room overlooking court. Also in the morns you can sometimes hear the lorries dropping off stuff by the gates.” (Jan 2006)

Gyp Room

“Fairly large Gyp room either upstairs or downstairs in what used to be a persons room - much bigger than the average tree court gyp room.” (Feb 2007)

“My room is furthest from gyp room but that's only 10 paces away! There are 2 fridges, usual hob thing and not enough cupboard space - 2 cupboards for 5 people. I think there are plans to change the gyp room so this might be irrelevant.” (Jan 2006)

Bath Room

“Best in tree court - two ultra modern bathrooms directly opposite with shower toilet and sink.” (Feb 2007)

“My room is closest to bathroom - good for distance, not so good for general sounds and smells! Bathroom has one shower, 2 sinks and one toilet. If someone is in shower and locks the door you can't get to toilets or sinks - potentially annoying but I haven't really had any problems - but then my floor is all girlies and we are all nice!” (Jan 2006)

Furniture

“All the usuals, medium desk.” (Feb 2007)

“Good bed - not camp one, proper base, yay! Not huge desk, but big enough with nice comfy swivel chair. Coffee table, one chair, bookcase,bedside table, wardrobe. Rubbish wardrobe for a girl - def not enough hanging space and had weird rail that went backwards instead of across - bit of handy andy work sorted that out- but still really doesnt fit enough in. Separate chest of drawers so quite a lot of drawer space.” (Jan 2006)

Best Feature

“Window seat with great view of KC Chapel and Kings parade.” (Feb 2007)

“The view - it has a cute little window seat below the window that looks out on King's Parade - great for people watching, weird tourists and people falling off bikes - wastes quite a lot of time though! Also loads of light in my room cos of two windows.” (Jan 2006)

Worst Feature

“Possibly the noise” (Feb 2007)

“Well for the first term it leaked - got some rebate and they've fixed the problem apparently and painted over - although at the moment i've been told to 'let the damp come through' whatever that means. Apart from that nothing really - i love my room!” (Jan 2006)

General Comments

“Good sunlight, recently decorated plently of sockets” (Feb 2007)

“Bedder is lovely, really helpful and friendly. Decor pretty standard for all college rooms; interesting curtains, random furniture generator. Got a nice fireplace. Watch the rent though - it can really vary between rooms and this one is quite expensive - plus the college will probably whack it up by about £50 for no apparent reason. If you want to live in old courts I'd say this was a great room - 0 staircase is def the biggest and nicest staircase and if you're about middle of the ballot you've got loads of chance of getting you and your friends living on this staircase.” (Jan 2006)
