Single room facing courtyard, 4th floor. (I'm in one below it this year.) Goldsmith's actually fine despite its rep. Rooms are decently big as is the kitchen.

but if anyone does know about GS, how about 71.2?

I used to live there! It's a 7 Bed. 2 en-suite, one with a double bed. Because there is 7 people the kitchen has two fridges, 2 sinks, 2 ovens 8 hobs!! It's at the very back and joins onto Pearse Street.

For the non en-suites there are 2 bathrooms for 5 people.

I lived in 65.4 last year. It's a nice apartment. Can't speak to the specific room, of course.

Anyone know anything about 70.4.05.
Bit disappointed tbh. Thought only first year schols got Goldsmith and the rest were put on campus..

I know a postgrad (and scholar) friend of mine is living in Goldsmith this year. I think (from what I've noticed anyway) they tend to give you at least one nice (campus) year and then I think the rest of the time it's pot luck. :/

Some of the Goldsmith rooms are surprisingly quite nice! Some friends of mine got some really spacious ones, and you can definitely get rid of the somewhat clinical look Goldsmith has to it. If you're around again next year, hopefully you'll get a nice fancy room!

The register of chambers on Trinity Monday said you get put there for one year and then moved on to campus for the rest of the time, and they know no one wants Goldsmith but everyone has to get it for one year...

Thanks so much, sounds like it'll be fun! Is it on the ground floor? Also do you know what room numbers are ensuite?

I was in 70.2 two years ago, you'd be two floor above me but identical layout.

5 rooms, big kitchen / living room facing pearse but the rooms face out onto an alleyway looking at new BioSc building. They're pretty quiet which is nice, but for some reason our flat was ALWAYS too hot and the windows only tilt in so there's no ventilation which sucks, I'd say yours will be even worse as heat rises...

Advantages are you don't face the courtyard and are away from security so you'll get away with having people over / small parties a lot

I specifically requested Goldsmith for next year. It's nicer facilities than what I had this year (New Square) - an actual common room with TV points, and more bathrooms per person. Also, in my experience, you're more likely to actually interact with your flatmates in Goldsmith. In New Square, as there's no common room/area, everyone spends all their time in their room...

[piratequeen]

Oh about TV points; does someone need to bring a tv or is a tv provided?

[Ambrotos]

Going by the Resident's Handbook it seems we have to bring our own.
