<p>There are 5 people in my suite but there are only 3 bedrooms, which means that 1 person will have to live solo. As an incoming freshman, do you recommend trying to get the room by myself?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>1) You won’t be solo since you are in a suite. </p>
<p>2) The Instructions from Harvard talk about all roommates making the decision on who gets which room, bed, etc and that the solution may be a switching of who has which room during the year though in a quint I am not sure that you would rotate 5 people in and out of the single.</p>
<p>when i moved in my freshman year we put all the names in a hat and then drew. whoever came out first got first choice etc. the rooms may be different sizes. i would recommend taking the double first semester (it can be a really good bonding experience to sleep in the same room as someone) and then trying to get the single second semester (depending on how roommate dynamics end up working out)</p>
<p>Hmmm, in Grays by chance? Anyway, I preferred having one of the doubles because then I and my roommate really bonded since we would have many late night conversations, and I still have the best ties with him as opposed to the other three. Nonetheless, the common room serves as an equally great opportunity to bond with all of your suitemates.</p>
