<p>How hard is it to get a single as a freshman? I'm not anti-social... I just like having my own room. </p>
<p>And is there any hope of me getting into a 6-person suite as a sophomore?</p>
<p>Singles are usually only granted to freshmen if you have a medical reason. If there's an odd number of guys or girls then someone will get one, but you can't usually request one. Having a roommate is actually really good for meeting people.</p>
<p>As for a suite sophomore year, it's possible, but usually you have to find a senior to balance you out with the points. It might be harder when you are a sophomore just because there are a lot of students in the year above you who will probably all want suites.</p>
<p>Hope that helps :)</p>
<p>The suite wiki is pretty much complete (there are currently 19 potential suite groups for 19 suites, but a couple more suite groups could still form, meaning that there would be a lottery among the suites with the lowest number of points) and there aren't any rising sophomores in any of the completed suites. Off the top of my head I can't think of any sophomores currently living in a suite, but there was at least one sophomore living in a suite last year.</p>
<p>Are there exception to the living-on-campus rule? I'll be kind of young...</p>
<p>There have been exceptions, but I don't think they've been for freshmen, and they have been only in specific circumstances. I don't think age is sufficient- we've had students enter at 16 or 17 years old.</p>
<p>The reason for the living-on-campus rule is mainly because of the number of group projects we do. You have to meet with you teams fairly often, and with a busy Olin schedule, that can often be pretty late. Having a less frequently available teammate can be really stressful for everyone involved. Plus, you probably wouldn't want to be driving home after meetings if they run late.</p>
<p>You've had young students? That makes my day! I'll be 15... I'm glad to know it won't be a precedent.</p>
