What makes a dorm good? I would say space, closet/drawer space, amenities, community bath or not.. what do y'all think makes a dorm good?

What I liked most about my dorm was that it was very social. At the same time, I could easily find a space in the lounge if I needed quiet time and wanted to study. I also LOVED that we had an a la carte cafeteria (not all the dorms had them). They were open all day til midnight and then like 1p-1a on weekends. You could opt for a meal plan that gave you a certain amount of meals/week and then also a certain amount of credit/week that could be used in the a la carte place. They had AWESOME cheese sticks and smoothies. I think those things definitely made my dorm a good dorm.
Obviously, bigger rooms would have been nice. I'm a pretty light packer/love organizing so the small closet wasn't a big issue. I was able to find places for all of my stuff.
Location is also super important to me. My dorm's location was only so-so, but everything else made up for it.
I'm really sad because in a few years my dorm will be no more. They're tearing down what is known as the "Six Pack" to make room for new dorms. They've already built the cafeteria/common area for the new dorms and it looks SWEET, but I'm sad that my dorm is going to be gone. So many great memories there...lots of fun goofy nights w/ the roommate...met my future husband just down the hall. Sigh.
