- Noise
“The bedroom is very noisy at about 06:30 in the morning, when lorries with bright flashing lights reverse down the street. The fridge in the living room sometimes hums a bit.” (Jan 2006)
“the bins are collected every mornin very near to the bedroom” (Jan 2004)
“Not very noisy to me, though the previous occupant found it way too noisy; some noise from trucks backing up in the morning around 8, and some from drunk people in the street at the obvious times.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“The gyp room is just outside the door. It is not shared. It is more like a large cupboard, with space for only one person to stand. It has a sink, two hobs, a grill and some cupboards. The power sockets are marked "out of order".” (Jan 2006)
“tiny, but it's mine!!! Big fridge” (Jan 2004)
“The gyp room is tiny, but it's all yours, and is right next to the door; it has two hobs and a grill, but no oven.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“There is a toilet with a small sink inside the set, off the short corridor that connects the bedroom and living room. There is a shower at the bottom of the stairs, which is shared with the two people living on U.” (Jan 2006)
“private bathroom, but actually the people from U staircase use it because they haven t got any.” (Jan 2004)
“The toilet is handily inside the suite, the shower is downstairs (and is shared with two people on U staircase), and the nearest bath is in T Staircase.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“The bedroom has: a chest of drawers; a small wardrobe; a bedside table; a washbasin and mirror; a towel rail; a lamp; a bed. The living room has: two wooden chairs; one armchair; a two-person sofa; a dining table; a desk with some drawers; a coffee table; five shelves; a lamp; a mantlepiece. There is also a picture rail. It could do with a cupboard or two.” (Jan 2006)
“huge dining table, desk, sofa, armchair, small table...” (Jan 2004)
“Large desk, large dining table, coffee table, sofa, easy chair, 3 normal chairs, plenty of bookshelves; in the bedroom, a dresser, wardrobe, and bedside table.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“It's fairly large. It has its own toilet and gyp room, and the shower is only shared with two other people. It's warm.” (Jan 2006)
“it's like a little apartment, 2 rooms, private gyp room and toilet and shower, amazing view on Tree court, senate house and Kings chapel” (Jan 2004)
“Its size, its sunniness, the view of Tree Court, the number of bookshelves, and having a dining table that seats several.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Being woken up by lorries reversing outside the bedroom in the morning. No cupboards.” (Jan 2006)
“there aren't really any bad features...maybe that the bedroom overlooks a street.” (Jan 2004)
“Probably the noise from the street late at night, since the bedroom window faces towards the street. (If you prefer baths to showers, then you should bear in mind that it has no bath facilities.) Also, it's kind of expensive as College rooms go.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“The curtains seem good enough to keep out any bright sunlight that might cause a disturbance (but not the lights of reversing lorries). The carpet is grey-brown in the living room and green in the bedroom. The decor is uninspiring: the walls are beige, with the paint cracked in places; the toilet window is cracked. In that respect, it looks a bit crummy. There is a damp patch on the wall of the living room overlooking Tree Court. However, these are minor annoyances. The ceiling slopes slightly on the north and south sides. Most of the east and west sides of the living room are covered by panels of noticeboard. The heating is good: there are radiators in both rooms and the toilet, and the staircase is always pleasantly warm. There are two pairs of sockets in the living room and one in the bedroom, so you will likely need an extension lead. The living room has a network socket and a telephone socket (on the university's phone network, not NTL's). The bedder gives a daily monologue about how much work she has, how unwell she feels and how she never has enough time to do it (because she spends most of her time complaining). The room is labelled V3/4. Upon entering, there is a short corridor, with the bedroom on the left, the living room on the right and the toilet straight ahead. It's a lovely set (so you'll probably only get it if you're in the top 10 of the ballot).” (Jan 2006)
“the bedder isn't the best a lot of sun ;o)” (Jan 2004)
“The bedder (Janet) is great, and extremely nice; the living-room gets as much sunlight as you can reasonably hope for, whereas the bedroom gets very little; the furniture is good. It's the only room on V staircase.” (Jan 2003)
