Burford Hall is altogether pretty nice. The common areas are relatively pretty small, but the dorms themselves are satisfactory. The common area on the main floor contains a couple chairs, so I can't picture anyone actually hanging out there, but maybe waiting for their clothes to finish drying. I personally really like the dorms. My dorm is a two person dorm with a private bathroom. There isn't anything to complain about in that aspect, with the shape of the room there is plenty of space between each bed so your not crammed next to your roommate, and the bathroom counter also provides plenty of room. My only problem with maintenance would be with our laundry rooms. We had about four dryers out of order for the first few months of the semester and it caused a lot of problems with people being unable to dry their clothes.
