Now that he has chosen his room for next year, we bring you the latest in our series celebrating quality room reviews. Thus wrote PCC of his beloved Botolph 31:
In 2019–2020, Pablo Cano Carciofa had Botolph 31 as a second year room. "Botolph 31 has served me well this year, with the right decor you can absolutely make it a great Cambridge home. PROS - I cannot express how amazing it is to have an ensuite bathroom, this is very much a privilege at Corpus, so get ready to enjoy some high-pressure, perfect temperature, on-demand showers. - Kim, the Botolph bedder, is an absolute queen and will look after you as if you were her firstborn. - Fairly spacious, room to bring a few bits of extra furniture (I brought my keyboard with me) without it getting in the way. - You have access to the best kitchen in Corpus = good opportunity to cook real food with friends and sit round a table together. - Radiator keeps you warm through the winter months. - Bed is fairly comfortable, would recommend bringing a double duvet for extra comfort. - A relatively new room so furniture is fresh and the carpet isn't gross. I would recommend bringing a rug though because it helps kill the officey vibes of that tasty royal blue carpet. - You don't have to travel far at all to do your washing. CONS - Your main window looks out onto Pembroke street and, as you're on the ground floor, pedestrians will peer into your room every now and then. There is a kind of shutter which blocks the view while letting some light in, but the whole ordeal does restrict the amount of natural light you get. - Room can get a bit stuffy as there is only one opening window. - Not the most storage but also I overpack so badly so that could just be my fault :P - Your door goes directly onto the courtyard, and not into the main building, so you do have to go outside briefly to get to your kitchen (i.e. you'd have to go outside to get the milk for your cup of tea) which is annoying but I just told myself to get a grip during the first fortnight and it's honestly fine after that. Tbh writing this review has just made me realise how much I love Botolph 31 and I wish I could live there again next year. Look after her :'("
