<p>I've been accepted to Warren and was wondering if living in a single or a triple would provide a better college experience?</p>
<p>It really depends on you. For me, I love living in a single because whenever I want to study, I can just shut the door without having to deal with roommates or needing to head off to the library to get work done.</p>
<p>You can still socialize with suitemates, and there are plenty of other opportunities to meet new people. Living in a single is just more convenient in my opinion.</p>
<p>Single. The risk of a triple is unnecessary.</p>
<p>My roommate is hairy as freaking Bigfoot and I have to deal with his hair all over my stuff.</p>
<p>^Agreed… I shudder when I think of some of the people I may have had to live with had I not requested my roommate in advance</p>
<p>Does the day that you turned in your housing application help determine whether you will get to choose which dorm (single/triple) you would like?</p>
<p>The earlier you turn it in, the more likely you’ll get what you want.</p>
<p>or double?</p>
<p>A triple isn’t that bad, honestly.</p>
<p>You get to fill out a survey for roommates, so just answer the questions as if you wanted a roommate who is extremely quiet, doesn’t like to blast music while studying, doesn’t throw parties in the room, etc., and you will be fine.</p>
<p>Sure, there are people who might be extremely loud and obnoxious, but you can AVOID these people by putting the right answers on your survey.</p>
<p>It’s cheaper, and it definitely enhances the college dorm life.</p>
<p>I’m also looking to do a single, and it says I have applied for housing but there was no survey or options or anything like that. The only other information says I’ll do the housing contract later, but I wasn’t sure if the contract was the same thing as the options?
Does the roommate stuff come later?
I don’t want to miss the opportunity for a single…</p>
<p>^Yes all of that comes later.</p>
<p>a triple hasn’t been that bad for me; one of my roommates is an amazing person and one of my closest friends now, while the other is frankly quite weird and has a really different sleeping schedule than me, so that’s a little tough to deal with. but for the most part, I’ve really enjoyed the triple. if you aren’t ready to (possibly) make compromises, or for your room to be a bit cramped at times, go for a single</p>
<p>I had a triple my first year and hated it. I love my double now, but they are few and far between for freshmen. I am most likely getting a single next year, so we’ll see how that goes…
Good luck to you!</p>

</p>
<p>Wat.</p>
<p>I hope you were kidding when you wrote this, honestly. You fill out a survey you want for roommates and you hope to god that they were honest with their answers. If they were, you’ll have things VERY BASIC things in common, I’ll admit that. If they weren’t honest, you’re screwed. </p>
<p>As for the loud and obnoxious people, if you’re not rooming with them, it is likely that they’ll be in close proximity to you anyway (e.g. in the room next to yours). </p>
<p>Yeah it’s cheaper, it MIGHT enhance college life, but at the same time, the experience of living in a triple might also devour and creep on your soul much like how a colony of E. coli will creep on room temperature American beef.</p>
<p>oh god, get over yourself. you must be a spoiled little brat who needs everything his way at home.</p>
<p>learning to compromise is a part of life, and more often than not, if you aren’t a jackass to your roommate, he won’t be a jackass back</p>
<p>most party/loud people answer that way. so just say you are quiet, sleep before 12, hate smokers, hate drinkers, etc. and you’ll be fine</p>
<p>the triple i’m in, even though we do have different preferences for things, is the best thing i could have hoped for in terms of a college experience. you really become humbled and learn to compromise and share. and you make 2 easy friends.</p>
<p>Hey you’re right! I’m a spoiled little brat who needs everything my way at home.</p>
<p>Aren’t you happy that I just compromised/conceded? :)</p>
<p>But honestly, get over yourself and take off those rose-coloured glasses. If I’m a spoiled brat, you’re someone who has been living under a 10 foot by 10 foot cement block for the past 19-20 years. The world (in reality and in contrast to whatever world you’re in) isn’t all happy compromise time.</p>
<p>I agree with mapthesoul. Girls at this school are WHACK. Seriously if I’d had to room with any of my suitemates in a triple I legit would have gone mentally insane - we had absolutely nothing in common and they were the messiest people I’ve ever met.</p>
<p>PS I really like your metaphor about e coli, that sums it up PERFECTLY.</p>
<p>all i hear is WAHH WAHH WAHH.</p>
<p>Do we always get to choose? or is it limited?</p>
<p>I love having a single. There’s nothing better than personal space and a nice room all to yourself.</p>
<p>Plus a single doesn’t equal no-social life or socializing. You have an entire suite to share.</p>
<p>iLoveSD, if you actually have one of those crappy roommates your outlook will probably change, regardless of how nice to you are to some people, some people are simply ******bags to the core.</p>
<p>I would avoid triple dorms at Warren. Those rooms might have decent square footage, but the depth-heavy orientation of a lot of the rooms makes it feel a lot more claustrophobic than the triples at other colleges. If you guys aren’t neat, you’ll end up like a friend of mine who had to stand up everytime someone wanted to walk in/out because of the lack of space.</p>
<p>Warren apartments are a different story, however, as I’m in a triple in Brennan right now and there’s more than enough space for everything since you have a lot of storage areas for the random stuff that would usually take up space.</p>
