"Burton Conner has nine floors, each with its own unique theme and fascinating personality, blending together into a welcoming whole.  Variety in leisure pursuits is highly valued, such as cooking (pumpkins to apples to gingerbread and beyond!), crafting, gardening, exercising, and socializing, ranging from the casual to the "floormal."  Floor study breaks are also a regular feature, along with floor dinners with the housemasters and house-wide dessert study breaks during finals.  Burton Conner is, in short, about giving life at MIT some much-needed balance."
-Anne and Bill McCants, Burton Conner Housemasters
