Overlooking a street.
- Noise
“Overlooking Trinity Street, so usual noise of trucks early in the morning and the Gardies crowd at night.” (Jan 2008)
“Gardies around midnight, Dump-trucks around 4am, Trinity St. shopping 11am-4pm. If your a country-type who needs fourty winks, this room is not for you, even with the extra sliding panels.” (Aug 2007)
“Some noise from Trinity Street, especially at night, but double-glazed panels help. Not as bad as Rose Crescent.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Newly done this year, shared with one other person, just round the corner plus it has a nice view into St. Mikes” (Jan 2008)
“Now updated. Check it out yourself. Was poor last year.” (Aug 2007)
“Gyp room located just outside the room, and shared between 3 students. 2 hobs, grill and tiny fridge shared between 2. Only room for one person to cook at a time. Not great, but no worse than most in the old courts.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Shared with one other person (plus fellow), loo a couple of metres from the door and a shower/loo round the corner. All new from 2007.” (Jan 2008)
“Bathroom on floor above with two very generous and hot showers, plus the world's worst bath.” (Aug 2007)
“Loo across the corridor. Bathroom with 2 showers and one bath located on the next floor. Shared between 7, and usually fairly clean.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“A medium-size desk (with wonky leg), a wooden bench (!) and some very impractical and shallow shelves, two "comfy" chairs, chest of drawers, bedside table, coffee table and bed. Basically no shelving.” (Jan 2008)
“Large desk with rather nasty office chair, two old comfy chairs with nice long coffee table. Fireplace with many ancient scriptures on, some of which magical.” (Aug 2007)
“2 armchairs, large (if slightly wobbly) desk, coffee table, bookcase, chest of drawers, cabinet with shelves. Very little hanging space, though.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Nice and big, wonderful window corner protruding onto Trinity Street, recently refurbished, so nice carpet and lovely (for Caius) curtains. Good high ceiling too. Attractive mantlepiece (no fire).” (Jan 2008)
“Great character and ambience. Its the largest single room I've seen in college - very long and high. Great for Londoners..etc who want to riffle through a book while overlooking the Trinity Street bustle via the corner window box (aka the love den) or blowing bubbles over shoppers to see their bewildered looks of confusion. S-Staircase is the best-looking in Caius.” (Aug 2007)
“Window seat overlooking Trinity Street is a gorgeous feature. Also, high ceilings and lots of windows make this room feel huge.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Not much storage space (as mentioned), no pinboard, wardrobe pretty tiny. Have to wait a good half hour for the door to close (very stiff). Also, shower will pulverise you if turned past half way, so watch out for that.” (Jan 2008)
“Noise levels at times akin to living in the flight-path, but otherwise great. At the time, bedder displayed extremes of intrusiveness and neglect. Wardrobe is quite small and short, barely holding a proper coat/dress.” (Aug 2007)
“Lack of hanging space is a bit annoying, but overall this is a great room. One of the nicest non-sets I've seen.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Some slanty sun in the morning, but as there are eight tall windows the room is generally light during the day. Inside there are two ceiling lights so good light from them. Very small wardrobe (as mentioned), nice-ish bedder though she'll reprimand you something rotten if you have a shower past midday, newish decor (beige carpet and pale yellow walls with white above the first dado rail and nice pointing at the top), big radiator (works) and small radiator (doesn't seem to work), sockets here and there.” (Jan 2008)
“Long aspect ratio could make use of some mirrors. Heating less consistent than associated bills. Three big windows give reasonable light levels but not exactly great for S.A.D. sufferers. Age brings both charm and wrinkles - the colour scheme somewhat draws its inspiration from the human digestive tract, but nonetheless I'd hate to see the renovation trample its rugged charisma with a botched facelift. If you don't mind noise, snap this room up quick.” (Aug 2007)
“Lighter than most old court rooms. S-staircase itself is gorgeous (stained glass etc) Bedder is a bit of an issue. I don't think my room was hoovered once last term, and she tends to keep you talking for ages...” (Jan 2003)
