- Noise
“Quite a bit noisy at night as room looks out onto Trinity street - you get used to it quite quickly though.” (Feb 2008)
“Although it overlooks the St Mike's court, technically there is the street below although you cant see it from the window. At night, no noise despite everyone moaning about Gardies, it's no problem!! The only time there's noise is early in the morning when the lorries come to deliver but you do get used to it.” (Jan 2006)
“my room overlooks Trinity Street, so you get the everyday kinda noise. some early morning disturbance by lorries etc, but you get used to it! the most annoying noise comes from the guy selling the Big Issue by Rose Crescent.....” (Jan 2005)
“some noise in the morning 7-8am, but once you get used to it barely noticed” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“5 people share a small gyp room but since college have taken away all of the hobs you don't really need teh space.” (Feb 2008)
“Very small but only 3 people sharing it so that's no problem. Plus it has ... a GRILL!! So that's brill. As well as the usual 2 rings and a fridge. And it's just opposite my room.” (Jan 2006)
“TINY!!!! 3 people sharing. about 5 strides from my room. it is almost impossible to get all 3 people in there at any one time..... small fridge shared between 2. there is a grill though.” (Jan 2005)
“3 people using gyp room. Close to room. Rubbish warm, small fridge shared between 2” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“My room is right next to a toilet and a few steps away from the bathroom with shower. 5 people share the shower but i've never had to wait to use it.” (Feb 2008)
“Excellent 2 separate showers in their own cubicles and a bath right next door. I never have to wait. Importantly the showers are v powerful and there's always hot water, one of the reason I chose this room!” (Jan 2006)
“1 toilet (right next to my room)shared with the 2 other people living on this floor. there are also 2 powerful showers and a bath (again, right next to my room- very useful), shared between the whole staircase.” (Jan 2005)
“2 showers and 1 bath next door to room. Minimal disturbance. Shared betwwen the staircase” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“I have a large desk, desk chair, wardrobe, armchair, drawers and other random tables/bedside tables. One wall has three long shelves and is a pinboard.” (Feb 2008)
“I have a v large desk, side table, coffee table, a chest of drawers, a storage cupboard,a comfy chair and desk chair,a bedside table and 3 large shelves across one size of the room. Plus obviously, there's a wardrobe but it's built in with the sink into the wall with handy doors to cover it up. Lots od storage basically.” (Jan 2006)
“in addition to my bed, i have quite a large, but very fragile desk. 2 coffee tables, 2 armchairs + one used as a desk chair. 1 trolley thing which is useful for wheeling my microwave around to find some sockets (see worst features...). chest of drawers, and a slidy cabinet. 3 massive long shelves along one wall. the wall is also covered in pinboard- great for photos etc.” (Jan 2005)
“Comfy chair at desk! 2 other chairs....good condition. New mattress! Otherwise good selection of furniture.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“All of the rooms in S have been redecorated this year so everything is really nicely done up. I also have an amazing large wooden fireplace (with emerald green tiles) dedicated to a Victoria Cross winner.” (Feb 2008)
“I love this room. It's nice and big but not too big it feels empty. It has a beautiful fireplace with an inscription. The curtains are fantastic, blue flower power curtains. The room has a massive radiator and is always warm. And finally one side of the wall is covered in discreet pinboard so you can hang all your posters and pictures there and it doesn't look unsightly at all. Plus location-dead close to hall with a nice view and tree court is a very nice place to live and the spiral staircase is the nicest one.” (Jan 2006)
“There is a fantastic fireplace commemorating someone who won the Victoria Cross in 1917- giving the room plenty of character. as the room is east facing, you get good light in the mornings.good view-the room overlooks St Mikes. for comedy value- the curtains look like some crazy hippy flower-power jacket!!” (Jan 2005)
“Looks onto St Mikes. very nice fireplace” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Nothing - i love it!” (Feb 2008)
“Well the early morning noise, particularly when they come to pick up the recycled bottles! Plus if you have moaning relatives they won't like the spiral staircase, but I love it. Also the fire escapes are hatches in the wall, so bit dodgy.” (Jan 2006)
“i have 2 double sockets for the entire room- which is a real pain. so the room can be quite dark. you will need extension leads... pigeons tend to roost outside on the ledge- a bit irritating!!!” (Jan 2005)
“Very little hanging space. Although lots of drawers” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“It gets good light and the bedders have all been great. The decor is fun and there's lots of storage and everything is warm and works here. There are only 4 sockets so if that's a problem, bring an extension lead. Overall a great room and a good choice.” (Jan 2006)
“I think this is a very nice room. warm, nice decor, full of character. also, S staircase is the spiral one- best one in college!” (Jan 2005)
“Very pretty staircase. Although it spirals and is uneven! Nice room. Minging gyp. make sure u check each room on staircase as some have bad views!” (Jan 2003)
