| 2016 | This room is clearly destined for those wallowing at the bottom of the ballot. It's tiny, has one less chair than the other rooms of what is indisputably the worst corridor of the house, and due to the wall-facing window natural light is rather limited. To continue the mould motif, there is none; however, they refurbed it last year and the new carpet has that sort of industrial chemical smell to it which isn't great. Advantages are that it's very near the toilet, stairs leading to the upper part of the house, shower (shared by far too many people due to uneven shower distribution in the house), kitchen and common room. Having said that, the walls are paper thin so pray you don't have a promiscuous neighbour: I once heard a phone go off next door and it was on vibrate. In conclusion, avoid this cave of a room if you can. |
| 2012 | I wouldn't entirely agree with 2008's comments- there definitely isn't any mould (I suspect it's been refurbished since 2008). It is very small, but it does have a sink and is right next to a shower, toilet and kitchen. It's also really near the common room which is great, but far enough away that the noise isn't a problem. I would say the only problems are the size (it really is very small) and possibly the fact that quite a lot of people have to use the same shower. Overall not a terrible place to be if you're low down on the ballot, like I was. Also, just a correction, there is now wired internet and CUDN access. |
| 2008 | AVOID THIS ROOM! Small - two bed lengths by three bed widths. Fairly thin walls. Dark and dingy, north facing, little natural light. I was moved out of this room due to MOULD growing in the wardrobe - lots of my clothes being badly damaged. the whole room is damp. bursary and maintenance refused to accept there was a problem, and so probably won't rectify it. |
