<p>Just gonna toss out a relevant question... what are the odds that in a Ruggles suite, and me having a double with someone who plans to study abroad second semester, that they fill it with some random stranger for that second semester?</p>

<p>very high. the only people i've heard of getting to keep a double as a single is when their roommate moves out mid-semester. all the ppl i know that studied abroad had their rooms filled after they left.</p>
<p>that's typically true (because they have a roughly equal # of people coming back from Study Abroad for 2nd semester as they do leaving for study abroad in 2nd semester), but will be less true for smaller doubles, particularly in corridor-style buildings.</p>
<p>If you held a gun to my head and forced me to pick a number i'd say 75% likely it'll be filled. I certainly knew of exceptions.</p>
