hey girls, this is in case you were LUCKY (and i emphasize that) to land into balch hall. i tell you this because last year i lived there and had an amazing time. many girls at first hate the fact that they live in a girls-only hall, but trust me, balch is one of the nicest dorms on campus (and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!). below are some GREAT reasons why balch is AWESOME!
1. closest dorm on north campus to central campus. cuts your walking time down by a few minutes, and makes rainy days ok when you get to just go in right away!
2. beautiful interiors- wide sweeping staircases, lounges with fireplaces and antique-style furniture. it's old-feeling without actually being old- they replace furniture all of the time.
3. BIGGEST ROOMS EVER. most singles are the size of typical doubles in other dorms, and doubles/triples are GIGANTIC.
4. wonderful in-dorm programming by RAs. i know 2 of them next year and they are AMAZING.
if you have any questions about balch (or housing in general), feel free to post them here, PM me, whatever. i'm at work, but i'll try to answer them as soon as possible!
