<p>Does anyone know when the single dorms fill up at rolling admission state schools, specifically IU Bloomington and Purdue? I just submitted my applications in late October, later than most people at my school. I'm confident I'll be admitted, but worried that only doubles will be available. What about more selective universities--is it hard to get a single dorm there? </p>
<p>I know having a roommate is supposed to be a learning experience and all, but I'm private to the point of anti-sociability, and having a single is way more important to me that it should be! Thus, any reassurance (or dire predictions) that anyone can give would be most appreciated. :)</p>
<p>paranoid, you should check with the schools you're applying to because the majority of colleges in the country do not make single rooms available for freshmen, unless there is a documented medical need.</p>
<p>Once you are accepted, contact the housing people - you could check their website also as it may have this info - but singles can be possible tho usually cost a bit more than a regular dorm. Many schools do allow freshman into singles, just at a higher housing rate. So give them a call to see how you might arrange this.</p>
<p>I agree with you. I absolutely cannot imagine living in a small space with another person. It seems like no one else has a problem with it and feel that it is part of the experience etc. I really do not care for the "experience" if it means that I'll be in a tiny cell of a room, never further than 10 feet from some person. I am utterly dreading it. For some bizarre reason, I feel like it isn't going to happen to me, that I'll find some way to get a single room and I'll be some special circumstance. In actuality, I won't. I know that. I do not know what to do.</p>
<p>I've shared my room with my little brother for the past 12 years...seriously, it's not that bad to share a room with somebody. Don't make such a big deal about it, it's really nothing.</p>
