<p>Has anyone lived in the 5200s? (Single) What did you guys think? </p>
<p>Can I tag another post here, since they’re related? My DD and a friend asked for a double in Balch, and they got Balch (yay!) but a triple. Will it be crowded? How high are the beds off the floor? That is, how big a bin will fit under the bed? Thanks!! </p>
<p>D was in Balch last year (32xx). Some of the triples were crowded, others were not (room sizes vary a great deal). A standard “under bed” type storage bin fit without a lofted bed, but you can always get the bed lofted and then tons of stuff fit (including the small refrigerator).</p>
<p>Hi! I’m a rising sophomore at cornell, who was randomly assigned to Balch last year. Comom2013 is absolutely right–the room sizes vary quite a bit. I had a double, and my roommate and I had a huge room (we had more than 20 people hanging out comfortably at times) with two closets each. Some of the triples were small by Balch standards, but large compared to other dorms. Others were simply huge. My personal recommendation? There is a Balch hall FB page for 2013-2014. Have your daughter post asking the person who lived in that room before to contact her. They should be able to give you a better idea of room size</p>
