Overlooking a street.

Noise

“O staircase is very echo-y so you can hear other people chatting/coming up and down the stairs. Depending on the night of the week, randoms in the street can be quite noisy and I quite often get woken up by lorries coming down Trinity street-sometimes as early as 4.30. Earplugs recommended!” (Jan 2006)

“can be nosiy at night as it looks over the street and you can hear people in the staircase easily.” (Jan 2003)

Gyp Room

“Room opens onto gyp room. Quite small. 2 fridges and just enough cupboards for food. 2 hob plates, but there is an oven (yes, an oven!) on the floor below. 5 people share the kitchen” (Jan 2006)

“Right next to a gyp room but it is shared by 11” (Jan 2003)

Bath Room

“Bathroom on the same floor with a decent shower. Shared between 5 people. There's a sink in the room, which is very useful.” (Jan 2006)

“One shower and toilet shared by 6” (Jan 2003)

Furniture

“Quite a large desk, a bookcase, a desk chair and an armchair. Absolutely loads of storage space - 2 large cupboards, 2 small cupboards and 2 sets of shelving which fit lever arch files. Quite small hanging space for clothes, but this would only be a problem if you were a girl with lots of clothes.” (Jan 2006)

“Two chairs besides the desk chair, coffee table, loads of wardrobe space for clothes etc.” (Jan 2003)

Best Feature

“High ceilings make it feel spacious. Fireplace with symmetrical archways either side with shelving add character. Sink in room is very convenient.” (Jan 2006)

“Size, wardrobe space, sink” (Jan 2003)

Worst Feature

“I'm a light sleeper and so get woken up very easily by traffic coming down the street in the morning. Pigeons also sit outside and 'coo coo' quite often, tho I've taken to scaring them away with my lacrosse stick. When I arrived in Mich, there was a baby pigeon living in the alcove outside the window-it was pretty mank!” (Jan 2006)

“Noise” (Jan 2003)

General Comments

“Big window, but doesn't really face the sun, so need extra lamps esp in winter. Doesn't have much of a view - you basically just look into someone else's room. But you can't see that much, so I presume that they don't see much into my room! Pretty much only one layout for furniture in the room due to position of network socket, fireplace and fitted cupboards down one side of the room. Very good room, but marked down because of noise.” (Jan 2006)
