<p>I have heard there are very few singles, you can request special accomidation along with apropriate documentation if its a real big deal</p>

<p>You’ll be assigned to a dorm in the Quad or to SueB. Both are nice. Rooms at UR are large. SueB has a dining hall at the bottom and is all freshman. You’ll likely be in a double. If you look around the web, you’ll find lots of pictures and movies of what they look like. UR assigns roomies at random because they believe that works as well as any other system. I agree. </p>

<p>You can live on a single sex or co-ed floor. In SueB, if you are on a co-ed floor, you may have to walk an extra 20-30 feet to reach your sex’s bathroom because there is only one per hallway and that is assigned to one sex.</p>

<p>thanks for replying, guys</p>

<p>My tour guide made a big point of saying there was no way a freshman could get a single. It was kind of strange since 2/3 of the people touring were transfers and no one had inquired about singles.</p>

<p>Haha… I guess it would be odd to point that out without be prompted. It is very rare that freshman get singles, excluding any medical needs that would require that a student be placed in a single.</p>

<p>I lived on the 6th floor of Sue B my freshman year and half my hall was singles, the other half doubles. But that didn’t hold true for the rest of the halls in Sue B. So it is possible.</p>

<p>Well, thanks for all replying.</p>
