<p>Absolutely! There was enough to deal with regarding living in dorms.</p>
<p>Count us as also in favor of singles! S had one last year as a freshman. I worried about him being social, but needlessly. He was in a dorm with about half the freshman class ,all in singles,and he had a riproaring time, as far as I can tell. Very tight group from his floor, including his gf. Sophomore year is the worst housing year at his school, but he and roomie (from his floor) were able to get a walk-through double, closest thing to a single.</p>
<p>My D as a freshman was in a classic double and had all the classic problems: drinking, noise, sexiled, etc.</p>
<p>When she transfered, they put her in a single, which initially worried her, but she made very good friends at the school and never had another roommate.</p>
<p>JustDucky,
My son had the same situation his freshman year and I was apprehensive about it as well. We even had to pay more money for it and it wasn't one of the three choices he marked off. It turned out to be a very positive experience, but he's a pretty social kid and there were quite a few opportunities to get to know fellow students on his floor. I also realized he would have plenty of opportunities in the future to experience life with a roomate. And that's another story - six guys in a suite his sophomore year - not a good experience. I seem to hear more and more awful roommate stories and I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't due to a generation of kids growing up with their own rooms- they've never learned to negotiate or respect someone else's boundaries.</p>
