<p>I requested a single dorm- no, not because I'm a hermit& hate people, but because I would just like to have my own space to study and rest.</p>

<p>Now, I know you don't get to choose which particular building you are placed in. Frankly, I don't care where I'm placed, so long as I just have my own space. But if I requested a single, would i most likely get a single?</p>

<p>Is there anyone who can clarify this matter?
There are some who suggest that it is just completely random, and some who say that I will be at least get the room type I signed up for. Even dear old Uncle Ezra thinks so.</p>

<p>Any Cornellians who can share their experience?</p>

<p>Most people who request singles get them. There are many to go around…in fact, many students who ask for doubles are placed in singles.</p>

<p>If you’re a girl and request Balch, your chances of getting a single are even greater.</p>
