Because the North Dorms are made of cinderblock, noise travels really well from floor to floor. However, Comfort is probably the most quiet of the North Dorms because it is most removed from the cluster. The noise level also depends on which direction the room faces. Rooms that overlook the other North Dorms receive conversation, etc. of people in the main area, between the three dorms. Rooms that face the duck pond and Harris Rd.
Comfort has no laundry facilities in the basement.
Therefore, the residents must use the washers and dryers in either Lunt or Jones.
