Hmmm, I personally did not enjoy living in Balch.

For starters, the labyrinth of narrow hallways reminded me of “The Shining.” I was seriously expecting to see a crazed, axe-wielding Jack Nicholson running around the building.

And not everyone can revel over a large room. My room was extremely small. Cornell’s tma website even has it listed as “the small double.” I couldn’t fit anything in there other than a small fridge.

Some people really do enjoy living in Balch though.... I just had a horrible experience ( i.e. a severely broken heater, a non-functional sink for 2 months, bathroom lock-downs etc)

Advantages:
-Tatkon Center- My writing seminar was held there. It was nice not having to wear snow boots to get to class.
- It is generally a quiet place to study (except on gray’s night)
