- Noise
“The staircase is one of the quietest a third-year can choose. This room is directly opposite another which is small and used by a second-year. Four second-years live on the floor above. If the person living directly above creates noise, it's quite easy to hear because the ceiling is thin.” (Jan 2006)
“Really quiet. Sometimes a bit of noise when the bar kicks out but it's not unbearable!” (Jan 2004)
“Looks inwards so just about as quiet as you are going to get. You can hear the college chapel bell and the other church bells in the distance but that's quite nice really... you could always install a kick-ass sound system to drown them out ^_^” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Standard gyp room. Tiny but only shared with the other undergraduate on this floor.” (Jan 2006)
“Next door, shared with one other student and a friendly fellow.” (Jan 2004)
“You'd be hard pushed to prepare a banquet fit for a king on two hobs, a grill and a sink, but for light snacks/meals it does. Two people + a fellow share which is pretty reasonable. Besides, Hall is less than a guinea fowl's throw away...” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Bathroom on the floor below, used by the whole staircase. It is very large and includes a bathroom and a separate shower-room with two showers. You'll need to lock the door on the Hall unless you enjoy surprises.” (Jan 2006)
“Toilet on my floor, toilet, bath and showers one flight down. Shared by six students altogether. Rather bizzarely, college have decided to install two showers in the same room without so much as a curtain to separate them so unless you want to get particularly intimate with other people on the staircase you sometimes have to wait.” (Jan 2004)
“6 students sharing 1 shower area / bath on floor below. Once people settle into a routine it's not so bad and I've rarely had to wait to use the shower. Toilet facility shared by three people on same floor. Facilities perhaps not the greatest - not as modern as F stair-case, but you never know college might give them a face-lift over the hols.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Flimsy bookcase but four separate solid shelves. Good desk. Little table next to it. Another table, longer. A coffee table. Two comfy chairs and a chair at the desk.” (Jan 2006)
“Big desk with a good chair, couple of comfy chairs, plenty of shelves, two wardrobes (not enough drawers or hanging space for me. Bring your own desk lamp.” (Jan 2004)
“Medium sized desk, two (non-matching...) chairs and a standard issue single bed. One wall is completely covered in a fabric suitable for use a pin-board which is pretty handy for posters/revision notes. Also has a fairly groovy filled in fireplace and adequate shelving.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Sunlight all day. Quiet. The room is not too small.” (Jan 2006)
“The massive pinboard on the wall means you can get poster-happy.” (Jan 2004)
“The view.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Radiator is by desk, so if you have a computer, you might want to bring a convector heater. Bring some extension leads. Bring some lamps - the overhead light is ghastly. Foul pinboard coated one wall of the room when I came: I covered half with card and it looks much better. I'll leave the card.” (Jan 2006)
“It can get a bit chilly.” (Jan 2004)
“Cost, I think it's pretty expensive by third year standards, but hey you'll be rich one day and you only live twice.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Wardrobe space: just about adequate but probably bad if you're a girl. Bedder: keen on conversation and sometimes to be found resting in the bathroom, so always check before showering.” (Jan 2006)
“Apparently the sunniest room on the staircase and it's got a great view over Kings. Best bedder in college. The bed isn't great and I think there may be something living in the wardrobe, but all in all a good room.” (Jan 2004)
“Quality Bedder - friendliest bedder in the West in fact. South facing, mmmm nice and warm. Oh, forgot to mention you also get a desk chair. Oh and don't complain to me if the left hand sash window is still broke, I mentioned it was broken to the powers that be a term ago... Plus you get to say that you lived in the same room as that famous guy who lived there in 2002/2003... what's his name ^_- Whoever gets it, enjoy it cos it's a damn fine room. And whilst your browsing through all these room reviews, why not surf on over to http://www.cujo.soc.ucam.org/ Go on you know you want to... (blatant abuse of coolege system for free advertising purposes, ah well :P~~)” (Jan 2003)
