Could swing something between a sheep and a cow (~2.1 HC).
Overlooking a court or garden.
- Noise
“The only noise comes from tree court, but this forms rather pleasant 18th century background noise, bells and gardeners etc. as opposed to the 21st century racket you'll get overlooking the outside. The occasional drunken squeals, but after midnight generally tranquil.” (Feb 2008)
“Looking over Tree Court, hence very quiet apart from occasional bells which you can't escape anyway.” (Jan 2007)
“only noise is from neighbours. very quiet, even during the day” (Jan 2006)
“very quiet, overlooks Tree Court so only noise is neighbours/visitors/mine.” (Jan 2004)
“Generally quiet” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Effectively a toilet with a microwave installed (and the toilet taken out). If you want a big sociable kitchen T staircase is not for you.” (Feb 2008)
“Cupboard-size standard Tree Court gyp room with small fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. Shared between 4 on same floor.” (Jan 2007)
“gyp room is standard old courts and therefore tiny and shit” (Jan 2006)
“small - as are most in College and only 2 steps away from room. 4 share but never had a problem with anyone else being in there.” (Jan 2004)
“Gyp room very small, but only shared between 4” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“A good variety: one on each floor, second and third floor toilets almost identical (but good, nevertheless), lower down they become more interesting, in particular the first floor toilet.” (Feb 2008)
“Shower and bath 2 floors down, but powerful and hot. Shared between 6 on staircase.” (Jan 2007)
“bathroom is fine, two floors below, slightly strange arrangement with 2 showers with nothing separating them...! also a bath. 6 share. also toilet on same floor as room, 4 share.” (Jan 2006)
“also 2 steps away, basic toilet, sink, towel and pretty postcards up to look at when you're on the loo.” (Jan 2004)
“Seperate shower and bath shared by 6 people on the first floor” (Jan 2003)

“Big desk, 2 comfy chairs, swivel chair, coffee table, pinboard the size of a wall, lots of shelves, commode, wardrobe built into wall. Walk-in lockable cupboard where you can leave all your stuff over the vacations.” (Jan 2007)
“furniture good, chest of drawers, large desk, bedside table, coffee table and 2 easy chairs plus a desk chair. also built in cupboards which are huge and pinboard covering one wall.” (Jan 2006)

“Standard desk and chair, 2 arm chairs, dresser, good wardrobe, coffee table, large lockable closet.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“The two best features are the incredible view, and the incredible walk-in cupboard that can be used to store belongings during term time AND vacation, which means that the only time your room has to be emptied is at the end of the year.” (Feb 2008)
“The room has an amazing view over Tree Court and King's College Chapel, while being extremely quiet. The walk-in cupboard is very handy.” (Jan 2007)
“big walk in wardrobe style thing, lockable so you can leave all your crap in it over the holidays. Makes a real difference as this room is on 3rd floor. View also v. nice” (Jan 2006)
“massive walk-in cupboard/cubby hole to store stuff in. also gets a lot of sun through the window. bedder is great - actually cleans and makes the bed and is great for a chat.” (Jan 2004)
“The view and the piece and quiet” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The gyp room.” (Feb 2008)
“It's on the third floor, so moving in/out is quite painful.” (Jan 2007)
“number of stairs to get to it” (Jan 2006)
“none really. is on the top floor so a fair few stairs but not really a problem.” (Jan 2004)
“Too many stairs when carrying shopping” (Jan 2003)
