No singles in Donlon. Odds are you'll be in Dickson if you chose a single because that has the highest concentration of them (I THINK). I chose a single too! No worries, that's why we chose a mid-size school, lots of people to befriend!

<p>Donlon does have singles (I should know; I'm in one), just not very many. At all. </p>
<p>A big negative about Donlon singles is that more or less everyone around you has a double, but a nice positive is that they're really, really big, compared to the singles in other freshman dorms (except Balch).</p>
<p>Sorry about the misinformation. The Cornell housing website claims that Donlon has no singles. Thanks for clearing that up, Ceramo.</p>
<p>^That's probably why they're bigger--they weren't meant to be!</p>
<p>Is it true that if you request a singles room, you'll be most likely placed in Balch?</p>
<p>Balch is girls only, so if you request single-sex housing and a single, then I believe the answer is yes.</p>
<p>I had a single for my first semester even though I requested a double. Actually, I had a double but no roommate. </p>
<p>The first couple weeks were horrible. I was in the anti-social Low Rises and didn't know anyone. But it was a blessing in disguise. It forced me to break out of my shell and make the effort to meet people. I made good friends and then had the luxury of a huge room.</p>
<p>The following semester I had a roommate. He was totally awesome and I met a lot of people through him and am still good friends with all of them.</p>
<p>Anybody an RA? or wants to become one? i was thinking about it. does anyone know the process of becoming one?</p>
<p>It would definitely suck for your social life. You apply 2nd semester of freshman year.</p>
<p>how's Holland ILC??? one of my best freinds was there as a freshman (but he's now moved inro an apartment)</p>
<p>whats the best dorm for guys???</p>
<p>does an RA get paid ???</p>
<p>RA's don't get paid they get free housing</p>
<p>In my opinion, Dickson and Donlon are the best dorms for guys or girls. Then again, my values differ from yours, so..best in terms of what?</p>
<p>best in terms of:
friendly atmosphere which'll help u adjust quickly and preferably not too many drunkards ravaging the hallways :D</p>
<p>hha, drunks don't ravage the hallways, Arjun, they go out. Donlon might be too loud for you, perhaps Dickson would help you adjust quickly. I don't know how you feel about having a single, though. Court and Mews are much more quiet than Dickson and Donlon are, and would be more conducive to studying. Jameson is weird, it's set up in suites. I guess it's good if you like the people in your suite. All I know about the low rises and high rises is that no one wants to be there. From what I gathered from your posts, I'd probably see you in Court or Mews. You seem pretty devoted to your school work.</p>
<p>oh! I love silence while studying...and have this weird habit of tellin all my chapters pretty loudly by-heart once i'm done with the numericals and all...</p>
<p>Wow, Arjun, you are insane ;).</p>
<p>i really don't want to end up in like the camp site looking dorms. do u know what dorms im referring to HiImAlcoholic?</p>
<p>No, I've been to camp and don't think any of my dorms resemble a camp site. Can you be more specific?</p>
