<p>what percentage of the undergrad live in single dorms (of course, among the ppl who live in dorms)?</p>
<p>Any truth to the rumor that D will be building another Whellock-type dorm?</p>
<p>Um- I don't know what the percentage of singles is. There are 21 rooms on my floor, and 18 of them are singles. I live in the Choates. My friends and I were talking the other night about how we live on the absolute worst floor, in the worst building, in all of Dartmouth- and it's kind of an experience. It's not like it's horrible- but the buildings definitely remind me of communist apartment buildings I've seen in eastern Europe. Luckily they're behind frat row, so they're not an eyesore to the rest of campus. Anyhow, back to your question- the thing is this- if you don't live in a single...you may live in a one room double, which is your average idea of a dorm room- but it's far more likely to have either a single, or a two room double or three room double. Two room doubles are just two people, but with two rooms and the rooms are connected. The three room doubles have their own common room- don't get the idea these rooms are spacious by any means. Anyhow- it's actually much more private than I ever expected. I like having a single.</p>

<p>One thing that will surely sink your chances is asking questions that you can find the answers to on their website. It shows that you really have not done your homework</p>
<p>Not if they don't know who you are...</p>
<p>Z,</p>
<p>Be nice :)</p>
<p>lol, I am being nice ;) I'm just saying...I would often contact them with an e-mail address I didn't give them and then just never signed my name at the bottom so they wouldn't know who my questions were coming from. I was too cautious when it came to the whole process, as I said- in retrospect, I really blew it out of proportion.</p>
