Burke has one of the best Dining Halls in it.

Have you looked online at the Burke photos and video?

These rooms are furnished with two height-adjustable beds, two desks and desk chairs, a microfridge, two built-in wardrobes and two built-in dressers.

**It looks like there is a suites option in Burke
** But, I don’t know if they’re the same price. I’m not seeing a different price for these.
