I was accepted to UF for Fall 2019 and submitted my housing contract and payment last night. However, I was banking on at least requesting a single room. When I went to adjust my preferences I found that a single room wasn’t even an option to choose, even though the rental rates page displayed them in almost every building. What’s up with that?
Call ResLife and ask.
I think they are tough to get in the traditional dorms. If you live in one of the apartment style dorms, then you can definitely get one, but the majority of the residence halls for freshman offer doubles. Can’t hurt to ask, though.
My son is graduating in May has lived on campus the entire time, and never shared a room. I don’t think that is at all typical, but it is possible. He was in a single in Jennings as a freshman, and a single suite in Cypress the last 3 years. He was able to get a single from the wait list each time.
