<p>Hey guys, I've been accepted to SB as an out-of-state applicant. </p>
<p>I have some concerns about housing. I have severe eczema all over my body, and thus wish to request a single room as living with a roommate would be extremely inconvenient for the both of us<br>
(my mom even refuses to enter my bedroom sometimes because it smells like blood when my skin is really exacerbated).<br>
I would prefer to live in a residence with AC. </p>
<p>What procedures do I have to go through to request a single room, and as an undergraduate freshman, am I allowed to apply to one of the apartments? </p>
<p>Also, what do you guys think of off-campus housing, because I'm considering apartments/room for rents near SB if I can't get a single</p>
<p>I would prefer to live in a residence with AC. <– Pick Science and Society as your highest interest on the perference form, corresponds to Roth Quad which is the only one with AC. </p>

You need to be a junior and 3.0 gpa.</p>
<p>Single room however, that I can’t tell you but you can try calling or emailing Campus Residences explaining the circumstance asking [Stony</a> Brook University - Campus Residences](<a href=“Campus Residences | Stony Brook University”>Campus Residences | Stony Brook University)</p>
<p>Though I don’t think there are any single rooms left for undergrads, they are in very high demand and the grad students get them first.</p>
<p>Yes definitely i’d call and explain the circumstances…they might make some exceptions and work something out for you.</p>
<p>I couldn’t find it just now, but I recall reading they consider medical exceptions to place freshman into single rooms. I’d call the housing office.</p>
<p>Campus Residences will make every effort to meet the medical needs of students who demonstrate a need for a single room. Every residential community does have a small number of ADA accessible rooms for students who utilize wheelchairs. A student who believes that s/he needs a single room for medical reasons must contact the clinical social worker in the Student Health Services at (631) 632-6740. S/he will meet with the student to discuss his/her specific needs, and if appropriate, s/he will make a referral to the Department of Campus Residences.</p>
