Overlooking a court or garden.
- Noise
“There is virtually no noise because the room faces in to tree court, occassionally you can hear shouting from people in college but only if they are screaming at a particularly obnoxious volume.” (Jan 2008)
“Very quiet and peaceful, although walls aren't very thick, so you might be unlucky if you get a noisy neighbour.” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“The gyp rooms in O staircase are amazing. They have recently been redone and are the envy of every other staircase with their tiny awful gyp rooms. There are two on our staircase (which is more than most) and the one closest to O5 has three fridges, two combi ovens, two sinks and more cupboard space than you could ever need. In short, amazing....” (Jan 2008)
“Well above average college, we have an oven! No baking trays or racks, but its a start, and it does for pizzas. The two electric rings aren't great, but no better than anything else I've seen in college so far. 4 people sharing it, although its the only oven in the staircase, so others use that. No toaster or kettle, bring your own, or rely on someone else to.” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“hmm, the bathrooms slightly less cool. I never use the one on my floor as its not great. On the plus side there are two freshly decorated bathrooms on the floor above and its not a big deal just to walk up to them. There are more than enough bathrooms to go around.” (Jan 2008)
“Shower and toilet just across the top of the stairs. Again, only 4 people sharing, never had a problem with it. Shower is really warm and powerful!” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“There is tons of cupboard space... so much so that I find one of the wardrobes fairly unnecessary and would like it removed. There is standard bookcase, chest of draws and desk as well as desk chair and comfy chair. No coffee table though but one could easily be reqested. There is also a sink. I never had a sink before I was in this room and people told me it wasn't a big deal. They lied. Having a sink has changed my life.” (Jan 2008)
“Desk is pretty large with 4 drawers. There's a low coffee table that's quite big and two comfy chairs (although the cushions come out all the time!) Nice big swively office chair at the desk. One bookcase. Loads of storage space in the built in wardrobes. The sink is behind a little door so ou can stash stuff away out of sight in there too. There's a nice stone fireplace too.” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“Sink. View, Cupboards.” (Jan 2008)
“I like being on the first floor (hate climbing stairs!) The view of tree court is great (can see everyone that comes in and out of college!) and its quiet all the time, I think the neighbours that overlook trinity street and kings parade get woken in the morning by the vans.” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“I think the room would feel much larger with the big wardrobe removed. While its not a small room the extra space would make a big difference.” (Jan 2008)
“It can be dark, as the window is in the corner of the court. There is a problem with the sink so when someone has a shower or does the washing up on any of the above floors, the water gurgles up through the sink. Pretty grim. So I only use the taps in the sink to get water, never fill the basin or anything. I've reported it to the Clerk of Works office and they've already spent a few days trying to fix it, I think it will require replumbing the whole staircase to fix (don't think college will do that!)” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“The light is pretty good and offers very nice early morning views of Tree Court. The bedder is fine. The carpet isn't bad either.” (Jan 2008)
“Bedders are fine, its a really convenient room if you are in and out of college a lot. You couldn't have huge parties in here, but 5 people would be fine. The most amount of storage space I've seen in a college room, just don't chose it if you want lots of sunlight and get squeamish about other people's water entering your room.” (Jan 2004)
