Dorm costs

<p>the 52,000 number includes a standard double, but how do singles, triples, quads compare in price?</p>

<p>i can probably find this somewhere online but a quick search didn't yield anything. If i find it, i will post the info, but if anyone knows already if there's a big difference, please share!</p>

<p>Take a look:</p>

<p>[Housing</a> - Undergraduate Housing Rates](<a href=“Residential Life | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University”>Residential Life | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University)</p>

<p>a single is $8150/year, double (and quad) is 7210, and triple is 6630.</p>

<p>housing.cornell.edu</p>

<p>double is 7210 and i think the single is about 800 more and triple about 800 less…something like that</p>

<p>thanks guys! that link is great… it seems like theres not a lot of variation
i dont think a triple is worth it!</p>

<p>For a single: add $940 to the total cost</p>

<p>For a triple: subtract $580 from the total cost</p>

<p>is it true that The finaid will adjust the award if you get a single?? a current student told me this on the web chat …</p>

<p>If you request a double and get a single, your financial aid will probably be increased to cover it. If you request a single and get one, it won’t increase.</p>

<p>if u have a triple, do u have ur own equal space and room as if u were in a double?</p>

<p>don’t do triple!</p>

<p>what if you request a single though? same thing…or would that come out of one’s pocket? lol :D</p>

<p>What wrong with a triple?</p>

<p>If you request a single and get one, your financial aid won’t increase to cover it. They base financial aid awards on the cost of a double room, and you’re basically requesting to pay more by asking for a single. That’s a choice you shouldn’t make if you can’t afford it.</p>
