<p>how much clothing do you wear inside your room? i'm genuinely curious.</p>
<p>Nothing more than a leather thong and bunny slippers</p>
<p>I stay fully clothed. But I have a friend (who lives on the first floor, no less, and always leaves her curtains open) who takes off her pants as soon as she gets in the door. To each his own, I guess.</p>
<p>I wear athletic clothes most of the time, I guess. I honestly just don’t like the way some fabrics feel when I’m naked so I’d rather not sit on them haha</p>
<p>On the other hand, I’ve slept naked a lot more than usual since moving in.</p>
<p>^^Another who has seen the light</p>
<p>^ I tried sleeping naked when I first had a single. I’d never done it before in my life. It was… Cold. And kind of uncomfortable, although I can’t really put my finger on why. It just felt weird.</p>
<p>If I had a single, I would totallysleep naked! And of course I would keep a pair of shorts and a sweater nearby in case the fire alarm sets off at 3am :p</p>
<p>When I lived in my single in college I routinely sat around in a t-shirt and panties.</p>
<p>I live in a 2-bedroom apartment now with one other roommate (grad student) and I still sometimes sit around in a t-shirt and panties in my bedroom, and I just pull on shorts or pants if I have to go to the kitchen or something.</p>
<p>What do I wear in my single?</p>
<p>Whatever the hell I want to wear. :P</p>
<p>I don’t dress any differently than I did when I was in a double, but I stay in my pajamas a bit longer-- I got up and got dressed promptly last year because I didn’t like randomly having roommate’s friends in the room when I wasn’t dressed yet. Double or single I change into sweatpants or athletic shorts as soon as I come in the door.</p>
<p>Weird question :P</p>
<p>For me, jeans but usually no shirt.</p>
<p>aha yeah jeans and no shirt is a magical combo for me also</p>
<p>I so wish I had a single. Hopefully my lottery number will be better so I can have one single for my senior year!!!</p>
<p>Just the idea of having a room to yourself is really liberating! I mean, I liked my roommates, but at times when they disappeared to go home on weekends, I felt like I was more comfortable. ^_^</p>
<p>I could play my music without headphones and not worry about bothering them. I didn’t have to get dressed in the shower stalls or struggle to get dressed with a towel wrapped around me while in the room. I didn’t feel awkward going to sleep in my underwear and t-shirt! I didn’t have to force myself to go to sleep at 1am because they went to sleep (I didn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with me watching TV and having the light on). One time I didn’t go to sleep until 5 the next morning! I spent the night watching movies and listening to music! At a decent volume, of course, because I didn’t want to be a disturbance to my dorm mates :)</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>I know what you mean. As soon as my roommate went home for a weekend, I realized just how much a double sucks compared to a single. I’m so lucky that I was able to get a single as a sophomore and that I can keep it until I graduate.</p>
<p>Your schools don’t have apartment style residences for upper level undergraduates? I didn’t think many ppl stayed in a traditional single/double rooms past first or second year.</p>
<p>At Rutgers (my school), only people with low lottery numbers have a chance at apartments or singles. Everyone is included in the same lottery, with no special preference for juniors or seniors. I was lucky enough to get a low number in my sophomore year.</p>
<p>^ That would **** me off if I were a junior/senior and got a high lottery number.</p>
<p>Next year, I’m hoping to get into an apartment- or studio-style suite with my friends, where there’s two singles and a double connected to a kitchen & living room area. That way, I’d still get the benefits of a single, but I’m not removed from society. I like being in a single, but I (through a long series of events) ended up in a hall where everyone else knows each other and I don’t really know them… Like we introduced ourselves and they seem nice, but they’re a friend group and I have my own that lives in a different dorm, so I can get pretty lonely when I’m not in the mood to leave my hall, which is a completely different experience from last year where a lot of my best friends lived ten feet from me.</p>
<p>@ panic: Were you able to snag a single or apartment on-campus? I keep getting stuck with crappy numbers in the 6,000s. The only reason I even have a dorm this year is because I’m part of Douglass and we are guaranteed housing.</p>
<p>I hate our lottery system. I know a junior who was put on the wait-list. He has no housing as of now. -_-</p>
<p>My school doesn’t do lottery-style, thankfully. It’s a first-come first-served kind of thing for everyone except freshmen. You get to pick exactly which room you want, and there’s more than enough rooms to go around. It’s nice – I love the way my school does housing, especially having talked to people at other schools who have to deal with lotteries and always seem miserable with the results.</p>
<p>I would love an on-campus apartment but they’re super expensive at my school. If you want your own bedroom, you’ll have to pay about 1000 dollars more every semester to live in an on-campus apartment. It’s cheaper if you share a bedroom with someone within the apartment, but even then it costs more than a single dorm room.</p>
<p>
I got a good College Ave single with like #800. I didn’t look at apartments, but they might have been taken by then. #5000 could probably get you a single on Livingston.</p>
