<p>which schools have lots of singles available?</p>
<p>Out of top tier schools, Columbia probably has the most. Even for Freshman, you're basically guaranteed a single.</p>
<p>Yep. I can say that is pretty much the case here. If you want a single, you are nearly guaranteed it (I have one friend who didn't get one, but that's it).</p>
<p>If you want a single, Columbia's got 'em by the handful (at least for freshmen anyways).</p>
<p>if you are a girl, bryn mawr has a lot of singles too.
i think i heard 2/3, but you might have a double as a freshman.</p>
<p>Don't know if its a normal occurrence or not, but my tour guide at Vassar College said he'd had a single from the time he was a freshman (he was a junior).</p>
<p>I imagine that getting a single is pretty common at most LAC/small schools... or at least it seems to be at the ones I visited (Haverford, Swarthmore, Amherst, Vassar, Dickinson, Franklin & Marshall, Trinity, Ursinus)</p>
<p>Many schools have many singles....(if you know what i mean)</p>
<p>why would you wan't a single anyway, antisocial? You'd kinda be missing out on the roommate experience.</p>
<p>Well, personally I want a roommate, but I can see why one would want a single. It takes away such worries as "What if my roommate smokes in our room/does a motherload of drugs/locks me out all the time so she or he can have sex/snores loudly/hates partying/loves partying/etc?"</p>
<p>Williams College. 82% of rooms are singles.</p>
<p>Wow....personall, a rommamte seems better than a single..why would you want a single..reasons besides you like being alone and dont like anyone touching your stuff?</p>
<p>I don't know...Roommates can be great if it's a decent match. But there is so much work to be done that it can be a distraction. I just think it's easier to keep focused and organized (and to get enough sleep) in a single. It's also a nice de-stresser to have a spot where you can go and get a break with some alone time. It's not an anti-social thing, because there are people everywhere as soon as you step outside your door. I sort of think having roomates is outdated - from a time period when lots of kids grew up in big families and were used to sharing bedrooms and bathrooms.</p>
<p>I second Williams College.</p>
<p>Swarthmore doesn't put freshmen in singles except in special circumstances. I'd imagine some other schools are the same way.</p>
<p>smith has a lot of singles. At least, that's what I understood from the tour.</p>
<p>after freshman year, just about everybody gets a single at connecticut college</p>
