When your applying to a college do you get to pick if you would like a roommate or live by yourself in a dorm?Or do they pick from a raffle?
Most colleges you live in a dorm (random hall) but you can choose your roommate or go random if you want to after you get accpeted and commit.
So can you choose if you would like to have a roommate or not?
No, you will have a roommate regardless of your choice unless you get a single room.
It depends on some schools but most likely you will have a roommate. You can talk with Housing and see what they say. If you know someone,who is attending the same school, then you can tell them his or her name so you can live with him or her.
@Theapman Depends on the university (and the dorm) - in some dorms, singles are only reserved for upperclassmen, and in others, they’ll allow you to live in a single if you desire, but upperclassmen usually get priority. There are dorms that are pretty much all singles (e.g. Macgregor at MIT), in which case you can easily get a single.
Ok thanks guys!
