- Noise
“Bedroom can be noisy in mornings due to garbage trucks and in the evening due to Cambridge nightlife. Living room is quiet.” (Jan 2008)
“Can get noisy occasionally in the mornings when lorries reverse down the street, but generally ok.” (Feb 2005)
“Very quiet (apart from my music). Share staircase with only 1 person on my floor, and 1 below. No fellows. Can make as much noise as you want.” (Jan 2004)
“Bedroom has window on Trinity Lane, can be a bit noisy but is double-glazed so not really a problem.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Tiny, 2 people sharing, next to rooms.” (Jan 2008)
“Shared between two people, right outside my door. It's a bit cramped, but fine provided your neighbour doesn't leave their washing up all over it.” (Feb 2005)
“Smallish, with sink, hobs and a grill. Only shared by 1 other person. Right outside the room. Fridge is just a few steps down the corridor, and is only shared between 2.” (Jan 2004)
“very close to room, sharing with one other person, standard Tree Ct cramped thing with working grill and 2 hobs. Usable.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Lavatory and sink, 2 people sharing, at the other end of the corridor so not far. No shower - need to go to T or V for one.” (Jan 2008)
“Toilet is on this floor, again shared by two, but you have to go outside for a shower. This doesn't really bother me most of the time except when it's snowing. Shower on V staircase shared by 3 is the nearest one, but has been broken most of this term, so having to share with a few more people on T.” (Feb 2005)
“No bathroom in this staircase. Closest are in T or V, and are usually always free. This is the only bad thing about an otherwise great room.” (Jan 2004)
“Nearest shower is on V staircase! Horrible on rainy & cold mornings. Only 3 people share shower, Trek round Tree Ct for a bath or if shower busy. Loo on U staircase, very close, one other person.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Large desk, dining table, fridge, microwave, cabinet, two sofas (one very comfy, the other reasonably so), chest of drawers in bedroom, extra room lamp, wardrobe.” (Jan 2008)
“There is a large desk, a coffee table. There is also a small but comfy sofa and two matching chairs, all in a fetching shade of pink. Loads of shelf and storage space,” (Feb 2005)
“In the living room : a large desk, computer table & chair, a large wooden chest, a smaller wooden table, a 3-piece suite, tiled-up fire-place + LOTS of shelves. In the bedroom: large chest of drawers and a small bedside table.” (Jan 2004)
“Room has the world's ugliset 3-piece suite, bring some throws. Sitting room also has: 2 other chairs, computer desk, good-sized desk, extendable dining table, cupboard. Bedroom has: bedside table and good chest of drawers.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Automatic door to the staircase, big room with good furniture.” (Jan 2008)
“Nice size, loads of wall space.” (Feb 2005)
“Lots of space, great location, nice high ceilings and alcoves. Nice view of tree court from the living room. Good furniture. There are no floors above the room so you never get disturbed, or have people lurking around your room.” (Jan 2004)
“Space. Lots of room for me and all my junk. Also, no fellows and few students on staircase means I can play violin all I like and no-one complains.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“No shower in the staircase which can be annoying especially in the winter months. Great in every other respect.” (Jan 2008)
“Can get dark a bit early, and is a bit out of the way - not as communal as St. Mike's.” (Feb 2005)
“No bathroom in the staircase.” (Jan 2004)
“Probably the shower. Secondly, heating is erratic when it's cold outside.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Sunlight good in living room, less so in bedroom. Great bedder. Decor a bit dull, but acceptable. Plenty of wardrobe space. Radiators in both rooms. Several plug sockets around. Door to staircase is automatic.” (Jan 2008)
“Sunlight is good most of the day, and there is a nice view of Tree Court, but it gets dark fairly early. Bedder is friendly but doesn;t seem to be very keen on hoovering. And of course there's the automatic door. Although it's a split set, you don't really notice it, and if you get on with your neighbour it feels a bit like a mini flat. Hot water has been a bit of a problem at times.” (Feb 2005)
“Decent amount of light in both rooms. Carpet is clean. Good decor - room has a nice character. Big wardrobe-room with a separate door & lock. Enough plug sockets spread around the room. Heating is usually fine, but sometimes gets cold at night in winter, and cannot be manually controlled.” (Jan 2004)
“Bedder is wonderful. Sitting room looks onto Tree Court, gets bright sunlight in afternoons. I like looking out onto tree court. It's easy to be friendly and sociable with U7/8, which suits me, but you're really not living in anyone else's pocket here.” (Jan 2003)
