Overlooking a court or garden.
- Noise
“Really quiet - it depends on who you're living with! Because the room faces out onto a court there is harly any noise at all.” (Jan 2006)
“Can be noisy when people go up and down stairs - drunk people talking loudly can echo a bit. Occasional noise from Tree Court but nothing too loud.” (Feb 2005)
“Very quiet, well insulated from neighbours” (Jan 2004)
“Only if there's noise on the staircase.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Small - tiny actually. Makes more than one person cooking at once impossible. Only 2 hobs and a grill with no pan. Fridge packed in last term and new one is MINI but you have one in room so no problem!” (Jan 2006)
“4 people sharing, and it's absolutely tiny! Just outside the door. *Very* small fridge, but there is a mini-fridge in the room (although that doesn't hold very much either). No microwave. Toaster, two hobs and a grill (but no grill pan).” (Feb 2005)
“Too small, no microwave, no oven, 2 hobs, very small fridge to share between 4.” (Jan 2004)
“Small, shared between four people - just outside the room, though.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Toilet shared by 4 right across from door - 2 x showers - bath and toilet one floor down.” (Jan 2006)
“Toilet just outside the door, 4 people sharing. Showers one floor down, 8 people sharing. There are 2 showers in a lockable room with curtains that pull across. I've heard people complain about how that means there is effectively one shower, but I've never had a problem with it. There's a bath down there too.” (Feb 2005)
“Very good, one floor down.” (Jan 2004)
“Two showers and a bath on the floor below (shared between eight).” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Relatively large desk - one small coffee table. You get a bedside table too as well as a chest of drawers and a large cabinet. The shelving in the room is fantastic, you'll not fill it up! Also you should get about 4 decent chairs.” (Jan 2006)
“Bes, obviously. One wall is all pinboard (and it's painted the same colour as the walls so it blends in), with LOADS of shelf space, that's very cool. Although the shelves are very thin so all my ring binders are stacked neatly on the floor otherwise they fall off. Small desk, not much wardrobe space (a single wardrobe), but lots of drawers. Two reasonably comfy armchairs, one small low table, one long low table, free standing cabinet with very useful cupboards. There is a cupboard above the wardrobe where, theoretically, you can store stuff over the vac, but I can't reach it at all, even standing on a chair. Mini-fridge: it is *very* mini, but it is your own fridge.” (Feb 2005)
“Large desk, 2 comfy chairs,” (Jan 2004)
“The usual - desk & chair, two armchairs, etc - nothing special” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“The view - you get a fantastic view of the sunsets across college. The pinboard wall - yup one whole wall is a pinboard! The high celing - especially when you're tall The fridge - sooooo useful...midnight snacks suddenly got easier” (Jan 2006)
“Pinboard wall, fridge, great view over the roof tops, in college, handy for town.” (Feb 2005)
“Pin board wall, plenty of book shelves” (Jan 2004)
“Full wall pinboard.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Lack of decent gyp room It's quite an effort to move your stuff in and out - lots of stairs Cupboard is tiny - not really tall enough either so if you're bringing dresses - they might need folding.” (Jan 2006)
“Up two flights of stairs, not usually an issue but NOT fun when moving in!” (Feb 2005)
“Heated by only one radiator and single glazed breezy windows.” (Jan 2004)
“There's allegedly a walk-in cupboard, but the door's locked and no-one seems ableto find the key...” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Gets a lot of light in the evenings, the decor is pretty good but you'll need a few posters to cover the vast expanse of white wall. Think there are 4 sockets in total so bring extensions! Bedder is very friendly and occasionally does the washing up!” (Jan 2006)
“Bedder's not fantastic, but she's very friendly. Heating is very good, it actually works and is adequate for the size of room. Only 4 sockets, I have two multi plug points with me. Lots of cupboards, drawers and shelves, but not much space to store big things like boxes.” (Feb 2005)
“It's very spacious and has a good view onto tree court.” (Jan 2004)
“Nice sunset (faces west-ish). Friendly bedder.” (Jan 2003)
