<p>I was hoping to compile a list of schools with lots of single dorms available for freshmen. I know Scripps, does anyone have any other suggestions? Singles for freshmen in an honors dorm will also help. Thanks!</p>
<p>From the title I was sure this belonged in the Cafe…;).</p>
<p>Northeastern houses honors students in International Village - there are quite a few single rooms there (the singles have a shared bath with another single) - you do need to request one on your housing form.</p>
<p>Hampshire College has many single rooms, particularly for years 1 and 2.</p>
<p>At U. Texas at Dallas, all dorms have nothing but 3-person suites. Each person gets his/her own (separate/lockable) bedroom within the suite. A small living room and bathroom are shared. You can ask to live with other honors students, or with those in your major/interest area.</p>
<p>(btw, I thought the word “dorm” meant the whole building? Don’t you mean single dorm rooms or single rooms?)</p>
<p>Cornell (but understand that you will almost certainly move off campus as an upperclassman. Cornell doesn’t have enough dorms for all of its upperclassmen).</p>
<p>Columbia.</p>
<p>Williams is mostly singles for everyone.</p>
<p>Reed College has singles & divided doubles, as well as a few divided triples.
(Divided doubles are two connected rooms with one door to hallway)</p>
<p>Alabama. They have about a dozen dorms that are all singles in a suite style arrangement - 4 single bedrooms sharing two full baths, a living room and a partial kitchen (sink, microwave, apt. size frig). There are both honors and regular dorms with this configuration.</p>
<p>This site has the percentage of singles for a lot of colleges:</p>
<p>[National</a> Education Colleges: all about universities and colleges as well as online tutoring.](<a href=“http://colleges.national-education.org/]National”>http://colleges.national-education.org/)</p>
<p>Go to a specific college, and look about half way down. Keep in mind that 50% single rooms and 50% double rooms means that a third of the students have a single room, and two-thirds have a double room.</p>
<p>Don’t know where the site’s info came from, or how accurate it is.</p>
<p>Washington and Lee, but usually off campus after sophomore year. Univ. of SC honors dorms has lots of single suites (2 single rooms share a bath).</p>
<p>Washu - but you have to pay extra.</p>
<p>Pomona has lots of single rooms also.</p>
<p>Haverford. 70% singles.</p>
<p>I think you have your priorities wrong if a college will likely have single dorm room for you is a determining factor in where you attend college. Sharing sleeping quarters is not a bad thing, it is the rest of the campus that counts most.</p>
<p>Penn seems that have a good number of singles available. </p>
<p>wis75, I agree wit you for the most part, but there are some kids for various reasons that should be in singles. Sometimes it is for their benefit, sometimes it is for the benefit of potential roommates.</p>
<p>The student should then check on potential living situations after making the academic fit list. Some schools may not have singles for most freshmen but can for special needs or there may be private dorms available. UW-Madison is one such school. I am sure there are many others that won’t meet the dorm singles availability list but where housing can be found. If the student is approaching the subject from an elitist/can’t share a room because I never had to point of view they are missing out on a lot of fantastic educational opportunities.</p>
<p>University of Chicago.</p>
<p>SoCalDad, thanks for the interesting link. According to that site Williams is 82% singles. </p>
<p>For firstyears, the percentage of singles would probably be lower, but still easily secured. It’s fairly common to have a single all four years.</p>
<p>Anywhere in Europe.</p>
