Need guidance on where to choose? Nick, Joe and Sam went on a quick tour of Hostel and East Court to sum up the situation.

Download all the information from the real room's database in an easier format to look at. So what do you want?
- Second Year Rooms - That's everything in college. Park Terrace, Old Court, North Court, Hostel, East Court, Front Court etc.
- Second Year Cheaper Rooms - All of the above but knocking out Old Court and New Court.
Alternatively you can grab the entire database as
plain text, or as an
Excel Spreadsheet, or a fancy

The Guide To Hostel
Inwards means facing the paddock. Outwards to the noisy road.
| H | |
H is on the far right as you face hostel. It is the medium sized staircase. It has green / blue decor. Appreciably nicer to look at inside that J.
|
| Ground Floor | |
| Inwards: | H1a (3)
H3 (6) | Weird shape. A gyp room. Toilets. Access to a mysterious basement which lacks lighting.
|
| Outwards: | H1b (2)
H2 (5) |
| First Floor | |
| Inwards: | H5 (6)
H7 (6) | Takes on the same arrangement as the upper floors in J.
|
| Outwards: | H4 (5)
H6 (5) |
| Second Floor | |
| Inwards: | H9 (6)
H11 (?) | Very similar to the floor below. H11 isn't listed on the rooms database so grade is unknown. Guess at 5 or 6.
|
| Outwards: | H8 (5)
H10 (5) |
| K | |
Far left as you face Hostel. A long way up a lot of stairs. Some fellows rooms around.
Very far from anyone else.
|
| Second Floor | |
| Inwards: | K3 (4) | Not much to mention. Toilet facilities. Not sure where showers are. |
| Outwards: | K4 (5) |
|
| J | |
J is the main staircase in Hostel. Home to the laundry and an array of showers /
toilets in the basement. Pink decor as in the photos above. Totally revolting.
|
| Ground Floor | |
| Inwards: | J1a (3)
J1b (3)
J3a (3)
J4a (1)
J5a (4)
J6 (6) | Has a gyp room, a guest room and the only grade 1's in hostel. Corridor extends to the left to fit in the extra rooms.
|
| Outwards: | J3b (3)
J4b (1)
J5b (1)
J7 (5) |
| First Floor | |
| Inwards: | J8 (6) | Gyp room on this floor and the square arrangement of 2 rooms looking in and 2 looking out.
|
| Outwards: | J9 (5)
J11 (5) |
| Second Floor | |
| Inwards: | J12 (6)
J14 (6) | Toilets available here so you don't have to go all the way to the basement. You still do for a shower though.
|
| Outwards: | J13 (5)
J15 (5) |
| Third Floor | |
| Inwards: | J16 (5)
J18 (5) | Same old, same old. All rooms on the upper floors have double doors for reasons that are beyond me. Views over the paddock are good I guess.
|
| Outwards: | J17 (4)
J19 (4) |

Further notes
J2 and J10 are ommitted since they are guest / president rooms.
All staircases have horribly bobbly paving outside. If you wear canvas shoes - avoid!
