<p>I have the potential of living single as a freshman in Couzens Hall. </p>
<p>Pros/Cons?</p>
<p>Couzens is a beautiful and somewhat smaller hall which I like. It's not a HUGE hall like the "quads" and it has a homely look and feel to it. The rooms aren't fantastic but we're talking about dorms here. The obvious advantage is location... Hands down it's a damn good location. As for single/not single, no one can tell you what to choose there. That choice is completely personal preference. Myself, I would never enjoy that... especially my first year but again, it's completely subjective.</p>
<p>So my opinion:
Couzens... Big +
Single... Not so much</p>
<p>Good luck and hopefully I'll see you next year,

<p>Couzens isn't that great of a location. You still gotta take the bus to get down to central. </p>
<p>I do agree though, Couzens does have a very "homely" feel to it and it is a very nice building in general.</p>
<p>I recommend you get a single. Sure, having a roommate will be fun for a couple weeks, but after that you'll want your space. Then again, if you're like me and you spend most of your time outside of your room, then maybe having a roommate would be ok. Nevertheless, there's no need to depend on a roommate for social interaction. You'll meet plenty of people in your hall and in classes, so I say take the single.</p>
<p>The one thing I love about Couzens is how new it looks, the halls are HUGE, while the rooms... not so much</p>
<p>my friends had a great time there so a single there isn't that bad. It's a bit far from campus though...</p>
<p>For a freshman, living in Couzens probably isn't that great. For your Central Campus classes you either have to take the bus down to CC Little or walk a good bit. If you're engineering/music/arch/etc then you probably only have one or two classes on North Campus your freshman year.</p>
<p>I'll be living in a Couzens single, but I'll be a senior taking almost all my classes on North. I think in my situation, it's a good place to be, but not for someone's first year. Also, single's are several thousand dollars more than a double. If you don't like a double, you can always try to get a single in the same dorm (assuming you still in Couzens) next year.</p>
<p>bump......</p>
<p>Couzens isn't THAT far. With the new pedestrian bridge, I'm sure it's not any farther than Markley, which is where a lot of freshmen live - and probably closer.</p>
