I lived in Burstein my sophomore year and it was a double standard room. We lived in a corner room so it was huge! The location wasn't the best but the room size was nice and you are close to wallys. A great place to live as a sophomore.
Lived here last year. I had a big double in an apartment. The natural light was great and both rooms were good size. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting though. The kitchen was ok but quite small for multiple people to cook in. The living room was awkwardly shaped and uncomfortable to sit in. We also did have a mouse problem. Lastly, the radiators on the wall were mad dusty.
Lived in a studio with one other person. Burstein as a dorm is very underrated. It's right across from the MFA and right beside UHOP. There is also a basement with a water fountain, lounge, table-tennis and pool tables. Bonus: There is a study room that shuts out from the lounge. Only negative is no printer but there's WV right across Was very chill overall.
Easily the best dorm at northeastern. Super chill vibes, suburbs of campus. RA’s are chill too. Wonder if you’ll find a way to get up to the roof...
Lived in an economy double with 2 other suitemates. Kitchen overall really needed cleaning and drawers needed fixing. Room was nicely sized but poorly laid out. The bed blocked the entry so you had less than a foot to get in and out. Spotted a rat and maintenance quickly responded to it. Burstein is an old small building but isn’t all that bad. Good for people who don’t have guests over that much.
It was way nicer than people had told me it was. It's also the best bang for your buck as it is huge.
I lived in a Standard double in a 4bd 1bath. The rooms are massive and provide great bang for your buck especially considering it’s standard pricing. We also had an interestingly shaped apartment so we actually had more Kitchen counter space, living room area, and bigger rooms than other apartments in the building. It gets really hot in the winter but I always just left a window cracked open and it was fine. Pretty close to campus too especially if u have classes in behrakis or Ryder. There’s a pretty rundown common area downstairs, I never used it. There’s also a water fountain and laundry room downstairs. Oh and there’s an elevator.
Had an apartment here with two singles. Older building with a small but full kitchen (stove, fridge, etc.), private bath, etc. Right on campus for much cheaper than West Village, but again and older building.
Lived in a 4 person apartment style housing. Private bathroom and kitchen. Kitchen needed to be deep cleaned when we moved in but served us well. Only downside was how limited the counter space was (if more than 1 person was cooking at a time it was cramped).
