- Noise
“In the centre of town, so of course there's all the lorries and so forth - I have the bed in the room facing the court though, and the big stone wall tends to help cut down noise. Also can be quite noisy if drunk people are wandering around Tree Court.” (Jan 2008)
“Living room very quiet. Bedroom fairly quiet - just occassional morning lorries reversing down adjacent road.” (Jan 2006)
“Some random noise from people walking back up Trinity Lane - not frequent. Quite serene part of College, few people come past the living room overlooking Tree Ct.” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“Used to be a toilet, and it shows. Only you and the person across the corridor use it, and there's interesting stacking of appliances, but with the facilities we have nowadays you can't really cook anything anyway, so it's a non-issue almost... and hall's always a minute away.” (Jan 2008)
“Microscopic (a converted toilet) with space for 1 person and little equipment. But has 2 electric rings and a grill between 2 people. Fridge in corridor shared between 2.” (Jan 2006)
“Quite small - only lets in two people at a time, but has a grill. Shared with occupant on other side of staircase - so not too much of a problem.” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“Toilet's right outside, can be a bit chilly, shared with person across the way. Shower's in V staircase, shared with neighbour + person on V, nice and hot and a bloody awesome flow of water. Invest in a dressing gown to avoid frostbite/hypothermia in Lent.” (Jan 2008)
“Toilet immediately outside room, shared between 2. Nearest shower is in V staircase, which means going outside - generally not a problem! Shared between 3 - queues rare.” (Jan 2006)
“Bathroom just outside door, shared with one other person only. Hmm - no shower on staircase - must use one in bottom of V staircase, or one in T staircase (first floor) - shared with one person from V or two from T.” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“Computer desk, bed, bedside table, two soft chairs, working desk, computer chair. No tables, no couches (they're in U5/6). 'Bedroom' has a chest of drawers and a standing wardrobe, and the living room has a large closet as well. Lots of shelves in the living room.” (Jan 2008)
“Medium-size desk, dining table, 2 wardrobes, loads of shelves, pinboards, 3-piece suite (ish), pinboards everywhere. This year there was a double bed which wouldn't fit in the 'bedroom', so I used the larger room (overlooking court) as bed/work room, and smaller room for eating etc.” (Jan 2006)
“Lots and lots, big desk, two chairs, a sofa-chair and two comfy chairs in living room. Dining table, coffee table and sideboard cupboard also. Bedroom had a chest of drawers and a single wardrobe for long hanging items. Bedside table also.” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“Location and the window! Centre of town's always nice, and you get a nice view of Tree Court without being totally exposed (there're trees in the way).” (Jan 2008)
“Very big, quiet, shelves.” (Jan 2006)
“Large, centre of College, yet quite quiet. Not in a busy staircase, with an electrically opening door. Bedroom and study area are separate, so less to keep tidy for guests! Living room also features a large closet to use as a cloakroom/place to store stuff in holidays/walk-in-wardrobe.” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“The two-room setup is a nice idea, but the room facing Trinity Lane's a bit dark and depressing, so currently I use the living room as a bedroom as well. This allows for smelly sports gear, laundry etc to be left in the other smaller room, but may not be an optimum use of space... ... oh, and no damn couch! There's enough space for one (or two), definitely.” (Jan 2008)
“Going outside for shower, A bit isolated.” (Jan 2006)
“No shower on staircase.” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“Lots of sunlight - the south-facing window in the living room means there's plenty of sun, but less in the bedroom. Bedder does a good job, vacuums as well! Carpet and decor are the usual college style. Lots and lots of wardrobe space (see above). Radiator in each room, but the living room's large enough that it never feels too stuffy - it's not toasty, but it's not cold either. Two double sockets in living room, one in bedroom; multibars needed if you've got lots of electrics!” (Jan 2008)
“Big room quite light. Pinboards are lovely shade of puce. Always warm. Limited sockets.” (Jan 2006)
“Bedder has been a bit erratic in what she has done, but now has improved, heating is good, and the view of tree court is excellent - can see the Gate of Virtue and the Senate House. Few sockets - bring extension leads/4-way supplies. Lots of shelf space for books, etc.” (Jan 2004)
