<p>ok...and what if I REALLY want a sungle room?</p>
<p>they can't give everybody that wants a single a single...i assume...</p>
<p>If you really want a single go ask santa. Oops, too late. I already said, more people want singles then there are singles. You can request one. There is no box marked really really strong desire for single.</p>
<p>nova, i always heard at the tours and info sessions that generally because not many asked for one, most of the kids usually got one. that's pretty funny about your upper east side roommate. I know how that is, the upper east side has got to be one of the top ten most dickheaded regions in nyc.</p>
<p>Well the tours and info sessions are all ******** propaganda they tell you to make sure the Uni is shown in good light. Hell, when I took the tour they tried to convince us that they got no more snow then NYC. ******** and a half. Also things could have changed, but I doubt something like that changed in 3 years. And hey, your the expert on NYC not me right, so I'll take your word.</p>
<p>Damn... so basically if you opt for a double u will definately get a double?????? My dad wants my to stay in a double... so there's NO way I'm gonna get a single if i opt for a double, right? :(</p>
<p>So what are the chances of getting someone who smokes or gets drugged in his room? I'd hate to stay with one of those guys... Outside the room's fine with me, but definitely not inside.</p>
<p>I'd say the chances are whatever the proportion of people who do that at Cornell. You could always be a rat bastard and tell your RA.</p>
<p>whats an RA?</p>
<p>dude, I'm not a snitch... and what proportion would that be?</p>
<p>"dude, I'm not a snitch"...
all he's tryin to say is that some people do it...he's not sayin ur a snitch...and i'm sure ur not a snitch...a snitch is a flyin ball in Harry Potter...i don't think u can fly, nor does the seeker run behind u...so its certian...ur no snitch :D</p>
<p>Ug.
I don't really know what the proportion is, I don't know where you would find those kind of numbers.</p>
<p>in case u didn't c my previous post,
whats an RA?</p>
<p>there are many meanings of the word snitch, arj, in case uwernt aware.</p>
<p>Metallic, its a joke
Don't take it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo seriously</p>
<p>lol, i was kidding</p>
<p>In response to mjr02002 and MetallicManiac, I requested a double and filled out all my rommmate-preference information, hoped for the best, and...got a single. As it turned out, a majority of the people living on my hall (nearly all singles) requested a double. I guess it depends on how many people request singles each year. Girls are much more likely to get a single, however, since there are more of them to go around due to Balch. If I had to pick again though, I would opt for a single - I LOVE mine!</p>

<p>Did you have to pay more money for living in a single?</p>
<p>Arjun - I believe the RA's are the people who patrol the dorms and stuff, and make sure you don't smoke up in your room. I've heard they're pretty lax at Cornell, though.</p>
<p>nevermind, i looked it up.</p>
