Overlooking a street.

Noise

“on friday and saturday nights lots of people shout and sing drunkedly right under the window, as the room overlooks trinity street. this is very annoying. also, there's a fire escape that links to a room in the next staircase, which projects all the noise from that room into this one. it's only a big problem if your neighbours are exceptionally noisy though.” (Feb 2008)

“its noisy ALL THE TIME” (Jan 2005)

“Relatively noisy on some mornings, but not excessively. Saturday nights when you get clubs turning out, but that only lasts about 10 mins. Worst is sunday morning with the church bells and tour buses, but you can ignore them. Reasonable, overall.” (Jan 2003)

Gyp Room

“tiny tiny tiny tiny. four people share, but only one person can fit in at any one time. little fridge, but since there's also a fridge in my room there's not too much of an overcrowding problem. shared between the four people on the floor, it's okay as long as you don't all desperately want to make lunch/coffee at the same time.” (Feb 2008)

“shared between four people and miniscule.” (Jan 2005)

“Very small, but average sized kitchen for college. Shared between 4, but is no distance from the room at all.” (Jan 2003)

Bath Room

“toilet on same floor, which is shared between four. two showers one floor down (although both are in the same room, only separated by a screen type thing and curtains) and a bath. never really had problems with queuing and whatnot. the showers are lovely and powerful.” (Feb 2008)

“bathroom is on floor below and showers are seperated by curtains rather than being placed in cubicles.” (Jan 2005)

“Tiny bathroom, shared between 4 on the landing outside. Shower facilities downstairs, reasonably large, shared with entire staircase. (~10 people, but I've never had to wait).” (Jan 2003)

Furniture

“slightly broken, supposedly comfy chair, nice desk, wheely chair, bedside table, chest of drawers.” (Feb 2008)

“there are four entirely superfluous chairs in my room.” (Jan 2005)

“Medium sized desk, chest of drawers, mirror, and another full length mirror. Bedside table.” (Jan 2003)

Best Feature

“i like that one of the walls is entirely cork-type stuff, so you can decorate it nicely without worrying that someone in the college staff is going to kill you for damaging the precious walls. it's really cosy, not small enough to make you feel claustrophobic, and not so big that you feel you have to buy lots and lots of random junk to fill up the space.” (Feb 2008)

“it has a fire escape.” (Jan 2005)

“Large wardrobes, and a network!” (Jan 2003)

Worst Feature

“the noise, and that's only a problem on weekend nights really.” (Feb 2008)

“pigeons mate noisly on the window sill. and its cold.” (Jan 2005)

“Having to move stuff to the Harvey Ct. void at the end of each term.” (Jan 2003)

General Comments

“there's a huge lovely window, and the room gets a good amount of light in the mornings and early afternoons. bring extensions for the sockets. wardrobe a nice size. good amount of bookshelf space.” (Feb 2008)

“Very good for a second year, low on the ballot room. Below average for a third year room. Bedder's quite nice, though sunlight never shines directly into the room. Room looks into St Mike's Ct.” (Jan 2003)
