My d lived in a single in Balch. The bonus was the room was spacious with beautiful leaded glass windows and a sink in the room. Also, there is a cafe on the lower level. If you do a search on CC for BALCH HALL QUESTIONS, you’ll get more details. Although many students love their experience at Balch, my daughter was disappointed as the students on her floor kept to themselves. She would have preferred a co-ed dorm in north campus. The co-ed dorms seemed to have a much richer social life!
