<p>I am opting for dorms because it is impossible for me to conduct a Craigslist apartment search while living in New York. I can’t accurately judge an apartment across the country, and no landlord will rent to a tenant they can’t meet. I don’t have the luxury of flying out there just to look at apartments (I’ve never even been to California, I’m totally throwing caution to the wind by going out there). Living on campus is pretty much a way for me to get around the hassle of finding an apartment. </p>
<p>So are there no single bedrooms on campus, anywhere? I would rather live in a single-bedroom (“single-occupancy bedroom” like I had stated on my application) in a dormitory than in an apartment with 3 people. Another option is, I can look at my contract and see what it says about moving out early, stay in the apartment and just look for Craigslist ads in SLO when I get there.</p>
<p>Pedro I know you are right and I should be looking at this as an opportunity to meet new people. I just know from past experiences I don’t do well rooming together with people 
</p>
<p>On a plus side, my classes start earlier than everybody else’s. I will be moving in a full two weeks before everybody else. So, I get to pick the best room and decorate the entire apartment :P</p>
