Overlooking a court or garden.

Noise

“Overlooks Tree Court so really really quiet - can barely hear anything from outside college. You can also close the outer door to block off any noise from the staircase, not that there is much.” (Feb 2008)

Gyp Room

“Next door to the room, so conveniently close. As with most of Tree Court gyp rooms, it's really small, but as I'm the only student on this floor, it's only shared with one fellow who occasionally makes tea. So lots of cupboard space and I mainly have it to myself! Tiny fridge, but then again I'm the only one using it. (I had to bring my own fridge, but maybe I just eat a lot).” (Feb 2008)

Bath Room

“Toilet on my floor (next door to gyp room). Bathroom upstairs with two showers (separated by curtain in a lockable room), one bath, and a toilet (and heated towel rails!). Whole staircase share bathroom, but I've hardly ever had to wait. Showers really good.” (Feb 2008)

Furniture

“MASSIVE desk cos it's acutally a very large extendable dining table, so can serve two purposes, and size can be adjusted accordingly. Cool wheely office chair, chest of drawers, two wardrobes (one stand-alone and the other built-in wardrobe with sink), two comfy chairs, coffee table, and filing cabinet (I guess to make up for the lack of drawers with the 'desk'). One wall is a cream painted notice-board with shelves - so plenty of shelf space, which is very useful.” (Feb 2008)

Best Feature

“The view! It's a brilliant view of Tree Court and you can people-watch all day, and I often lean out the window and have chats with people. I love this room, it's really cosy and comfortable, whilst also being a really decent size and having all the furniture I need. It's great being the only student on the floor, cos this makes it quiet (especially as the Fellows only have offices and don't live here) and the next door room on this floor and room next door on the next staircase are pracitically never used.” (Feb 2008)

Worst Feature

“Terrible main light, but I brought lots of lamps, so it's fine. Only one double socket by the window, which was annoying, but it's not a problem with various extension leads (this has been checked by the Caius electrician and is apparently completely safe).” (Feb 2008)

General Comments

“Lovely light room, sunlight shines in in the late afternoon, but it's always bright. The radiator is brilliant, so it's never cold and the bedder is really really lovely. Nice big size. Living so close to the porters is not a problem at all, they've never complained about noise (and I'm a music student!) and it's nice cos you get to know them well. I love this room, it's so convenient being in Tree Court and the view never gets old, I would definitely recommend it!” (Feb 2008)
