<p>Is Balch Hall that bad? It seems like a lot of girls hate it. Is it all because there are no guys around? I know that guys are allowed if girls escort them, but why would boys bother to go to Balch when there are also girls in other dorms. Really are there really no guys hanging around Balch?</p>
<p>Guys don't "hang around" in Balch unless they know girls in Balch... so meet guys...</p>
<p>do people even wander around/hang out randomly in other dorms when they don't know people in there?</p>
<p>ooh of course not. i understand what you mean.</p>
<p>No, it does not seem like a lot of girls hate it. A lot of girls seem to like it. It's really a great dorm (and I have spent extensive time in it). The only ones who seem to "hate" it are pre-frosh w/ a closed mind.</p>
<p>they sound like great dorms imo; i can't see how they would hurt your social life.</p>
<p>oh come on, all the girls in my city who go to an all girls school don't end up weird or anything, thus I am pretty sure you will be fine in an all girls dorm.</p>
<p>See my previous thread. Balch is one of the best dorms you could live in.</p>
<p>i got out of Balch, and i know im gonna get annoyed posts back to this, but my friend really wants to switch into anything but a townhouse. If anyone is willing to trade her let me know.</p>
<p>I wouldn't switch into anything OTHER THAN a townhouse.</p>
<p>Townhouses are AMAZING.</p>
<p>My girlfriend lived in Balch last year. First of all--mad convenient. Second, everyone who lived there admitted that they initially hated the idea but loved living there with the other girls in Balch. They tell you that beforehand, and no one believes it, but it ends up being true.</p>
