<p>My daughter was just assigned a single room in Balch Hall and is looking to switch with someone who has a single in another freshman dorm. Although there are perks of being in Balch (larger room, sink), she was hoping to be in a coed dorm. Please, anyone interested in switching?</p>
<p>Your daughter may enjoy living in Balch. She will meet friends from other dorms, but it will be nice to go back to a quieter dorm to study and sleep. She will appreciate it when it is cold out and she doesn’t feel like going to a library. My older D’s good friend lived in Balch and very much enjoyed it. Your D is lucky to have a single at Balch.</p>
<p>Housing swaps have to go through the residence directors, I believe. There will be a ton of people trying to swap that first couple of weeks so you’ll have to go through the system.</p>
<p>You can find your own swap and just inform the residence directors. I wouldn’t wait until the school starts. I swapped for both of my kids over the summer, but the nice woman director has retired.</p>
