She attended University College London and she was one of the women admitted to their first degree course. She was at UCL from 1878 to 1870 and gained a Hollier scholarship for Hebrew the following year. She won other awards and trained under Professor William Henry Corfield. She does not appear to have completed her degree.She was living in Tavistock Square in 1881 with her retired father and her elder brother and still a student at UCL. She published the Science of Dress in 1885 which gave a range of advice to women and their children. She continued her association with UCL and she was attending their UC Society meetings in 1886. Ballin was the editor of the monthly illustrated journal Baby: the Mothers' Magazine in 1887 which proposed that babies should be dressed in wool with their arms free.
