Hello!
I’m a prospective freshman and would like to room with a few friends. I know balch has triple dorms, but I’m not sure about the spacing. Are there individual beds or bunks? How is the spacing?
The other option is the Townhouse Community, but I’m worried that it will be very noisy and I like quiet places. Please help me out. Thanks!
I saw the inside of a triple dorm in Balch only once, and I’m not sure if they’re all the same (the rooms in Balch generally vary a lot), but I remember it being really large and the beds were all individual (not bunked). But again, they’re probably all different so I’m not sure that’s a standard you can rely on.
@shirleyc40 my S lives in the Townhouse residences and it turned out to be a great set up for four people. Two bedrooms upstairs with non bunked XL twin beds (approx 10x20) with a split bathroom in between the bedrooms (separate toilet closet). Lots of counter space for make up and toiletries. Shower stall is small though.
Downstairs is full kitchen and combined living/dining area. It was nice for my son to host other athletes that were being recruited.
Plus one of his roommates brought a TV and PlayStation for blowing off steam and hosting sports watching.
The Townhouse has organized socials too. Many of my S dorm friends would hang out at his place because of the space.
It’s not noisy at all. My son is not a super social or party person either and he liked his Townhouse experience.
