- Noise
“Windows onto Trinity Street and Trinity Lane mean you get some noise from people in the evenings (particularly at weekends) and delivery lorries from about 7.30-8am, but you get used to it quickly.” (Jan 2006)
“Noisy in the morning with rubbish lorries etc. which wakes me up at the start of term but you get used to it after a week or so. Sometimes drunk, shouty people coming out of the pubs/clubs at the weekend.” (Jan 2004)
“Not as bad as I'd expected during the day given that it overlooks Trinity Street. There is a lot of noise from about 7.30 a few mornings a week, but if you're a sound sleeper or someone like me who gets up at a resonable time anyway it wont be a problem” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Very small, but fine for one person to cook. Shared between three people, but never a problem. Two hot-plates and a grill. Only a few paces from my room.” (Jan 2006)
“v. Small. two electric hobs + grill. 4 small cupboards and some shelves above the sink. shared with two other people. About 5 paces from room.” (Jan 2004)
“Just outside my room, shared between three. Pretty small, but fine if you keep it tidy-ish. Two hobs and a really good grill.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Two showers and a bath + toilet all on this floor. The showers a good, shared between the staircase (about eight people), but you never have to wait.” (Jan 2006)
“bath + two showers. Nice enough showers but not much use when the hot water in old courts breaks down . . . On the same floor and shared with the rest of the staircase.” (Jan 2004)
“Right outside my room, two really good showers, a bath, basin and toilet. Shared between the whole staircase but I've never had to wait to get in the shower.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Standard bed, bookcase, two wardrobes (one with drawers at the bottom), cabinet, computer desk, big desk with two drawers, shelving, coffee table, two comfy chairs, two other chairs. FRIDGE!” (Jan 2006)
“1 x standard issue bed, bookcase, small lockable storage space, two wardrobes (one with drawers at the bottom), cabinet, computer desk, big desk with two drawers, shelving, coffee table, two comfy chairs, two other chairs. FRIDGE!” (Jan 2004)
“Big desk, two wardrobes, big cabinet thing, bookcase, coffee table and three chairs. And my own FRIDGE!” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Very big and light, and surprisingly quite during the day considering it looks over Trinity Street. One wall is covered with a painted pin board with no evidence of decaying wall as mentioned two years ago (of course that doesn't mean it's not there, you just can't see it).” (Jan 2006)
“Size. It's big but quite long and thin (hence the animal swinging doesn't really do it justice). Also, you get to live on a spiral staircase which won't happen often. Nice to have a grill. The whole of one wall is covered in painted pinboard so no worries about putting up posters. There's a fridge. It's in the centre of town.” (Jan 2004)
“Its really big and light” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Noise in the morning can be a bit annoying, but you do get used to it. Curtains are quite thin, so not great if you want to sleep in.” (Jan 2006)
“The painted pinboard appears to be covering a disintegrating wall. Getting into old courts late at night sometimes involves waking up the porters. Bin lorries.” (Jan 2004)
“Cant think of one really” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Lots of space and furniture makes it a good room for having people over. A really good room for someone who probably isn't a scholar, but wants a nice room in college (I was about 50th on the ballot).” (Jan 2006)
“Dunno about the bedder (has recently changed). Windows on two walls so lots of curtains to pull but lots of light during the day. Also means the usual thin curtains are more of a problem than average though.” (Jan 2004)
“Like I say, light, with two walls having windows. Lots of furniture, good for having parties! Bedder a bit crazy, but nice enough. If you tell her explicitly when and what to clean she'll do it, but she needs a bit of prompting” (Jan 2003)
