Danielsen Hall offers a mixed experience for residents, with spacious rooms that vary in natural light and views of the Charles River and MIT. The location, while far from campus, provides easy access to Newbury Street and Cambridge, making it ideal for those who enjoy the city life. The dorm is serviced by the BU bus, aiding in commuting around Boston. Residents appreciate the large common areas, shared kitchen facilities, and the opportunity to socialize. However, shared bathrooms receive criticism for being outdated and in need of renovation. Some residents faced challenges with room conditions, including issues with heating and maintenance. Despite its drawbacks, Danielsen Hall stands out for its charm, especially for those seeking a more urban living experience close to city attractions.

Boston University (BU) is a private research university located in Boston, Massachusetts.

BU dorms come in a few different styles: large traditional-style, small-traditional style, and apartment-style; then there is Student Village and Fenway campus. Most commonly, first-year students choose between Warren Towers and West Campus. They're best for first-years for the social aspect and the in-building dining hall. Second-years usually move on to brownstones or the other traditional-style dorms like Hojo or Myles Standish. Many upperclassmen stay in apartment style dorms or StuVi for the kitchen.
