<p>In terms of college housing, how much more expensive is a single than a double? Is a double more expensive than a triple? Is a triple more expensive than a quad?</p>

<p>my school its like $300, but you get a room the size of a double, which are huge for 1 person.</p>

<p>usually the less people in a room the higher the price.</p>

<p>The difference here between singles and doubles ranges from $1600-$1900, depending on the building.</p>

<p>Depends on the college, but singles are usually more expensive than doubles, esp. if you have your own bathroom. But, the difference is a few hundred. I'm most likely going to get a single during my upper years. At Penn, a triple is the same as a quad, aroudn $3000 per semester.</p>

<p>here, singles are much more expensive. I'm sure because there's more demand.</p>

<p>they even offer studio singles (own room and bath) $7k/year
one bedroom double w/shared bath - $5k/year</p>

<p>The difference can be anywhere from $300 - $3,000 depending on the college and the housing.</p>

<p>Singles are always more expensive, because there are so few.</p>

8

<p>Not true - at my school the majority of rooms are singles but they still cost like $1,000-1,500 more because there's just more room per person for the college to maintain and you use more electricity and stuff per person than a double.</p>

<p>Here singles are more expensive by probably close to $600 a year. Regular triples are probably the cheapest of rooms that are the way they were meant to be. Doubles and quads are the same price, and fall between regular triples and singles in price. Forced triples are the absolute cheapest. Built up lounges (which happen here very frequently) run the same price as regular triples.</p>

<p>singles at NYU are something like 15k a year.
Ridiculous.</p>

<p>Doubles here are <10k</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that at Dartmouth, living on campus costs the same no matter where/in what type of room you live.</p>

<p>15K a year is incredibly subsidised - a studio apartment in the same area of Manhattan will cost you a good $35K a year.</p>
