- Noise
“Quite noisy at night but there is double glazing which is excellent...” (Jan 2008)
“I hate the dustbin men in the morning and porters that wake me up” (Feb 2005)
“Incredibly noisy - manic pigeons chattering away at dawn, which is great if you're a rower, but definitely not if you're an English student! Drunks parading around for most of the night under the window.” (Feb 2004)
“Noisy in the mornings at 6-8; expect to get woken up. Sometimes noisy at random times at night.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Tiny tiny tiny gyp room shared between 4 people (but the floor below has one used by only one student and if need be it can be used)” (Jan 2008)
“tiny, can't turn aroung in it. 4 people sharing, no one ever does any washing up, next door” (Feb 2005)
“the positive thing is that the gyp room is literally about a foot away. However, very, very small - generally can only squeeze about two people in there at a time; and there are four sharing. Two hobs and a grill - not easy to be creative.” (Feb 2004)
“Right next to it; four sharing; very small, but big enough if one person uses it at once.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“One bathroom on the floor below between 8 students...can be a bit hectic in the mornings” (Jan 2008)
“not bad, communal shower- nice to look through the key hole at Charly- good shower, 10 people sharing, downstairs” (Feb 2005)
“Tiny toilet room on this floor, but you have to go down to the floor below for a bath or shower. The shower room does remind you of the swimming bath showers...” (Feb 2004)
“Small toilet/sink right next to room, four people sharing, and two showers and a bath one floor down, eight people sharing.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Large black metal desk (much nicer than standard Caius), fridge, food cabinet thingy, chest of drawers and built in wardrobe” (Jan 2008)
“only space for a desk and a chair, i slept on the floor- it is legal to be made to do this?” (Feb 2005)
“Large desk, chest of drawers, huge cupboard, built-in wardrobe (fairly small), cushioned chair, hardback chair, and of course the obligatory bed - very very small. Small is the key word here...” (Feb 2004)
“Large desk, two chairs, bedside table, small circular table, good bookshelves, chest of drawers, cupboard, overhead storage, small wardrobe/wash basin.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Right in the centre of town, good size and lovely bedder” (Jan 2008)
“in tree court, my smoothie maker, my separates sound system, my TV” (Feb 2005)
“Easy access to lots of things. Lovely view into St Mikes, especially at sunset. Little flowerbox that you can use as a balcony. The washbasin's definitely a plus. Well-lit. Quite cosy.” (Feb 2004)
“In the centre of town... very convenient. Has a network connection.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Bit noisy at night but with ear plugs it's fine” (Jan 2008)
“I can't fit my shoulders in the washbasin area” (Feb 2005)
“Kitchen facilities. Terrible television and radio reception - I can only get ITV and C4. Drunks. Pigeons. Quite bland decor. Not enough power outlets.” (Feb 2004)
“Noisy.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Sunlight first thing in the morning but there are heavy curtains if you want to keep it out. Looks straight into the bedrooms in St Mike's so make sure you like the people living opposite you or could be rather embarrassing! Plenty of power sockets but I brought a few uplighters with me as otherwise it'd be really dark.” (Jan 2008)
“only early morning sunlight, i don't think it ever gets hovered, not enough plug sockets, carpet- brown and stained- i bet the fellow's rooms downstairs are nice.” (Feb 2005)
“Erratic heating patterns. Hot water often cuts out.” (Feb 2004)
“Wear earplugs when you want to sleep and it's a pretty good room... if you're a second year and you must have a network connection but can't get one otherwise, or want to live in the centre of town (which is *very* helpful), go for it.” (Jan 2003)
