<p>@jimi7, singles are highly limited. Most people end up in triples their freshman year. If you haven’t submitted your initial housing application already (link located where your online acceptance is) your chances of getting a single are very very slim. Unless your college assigns them randomly.</p>
<p>oh, I havent even make up my mind! The deadline is around May right?</p>
<p>Actually the tour person said a student has a 41 percent chance to get a single and 42 percent chance to get a triple, so I would think that singles are not very limited</p>
<p>The initial housing application is non-binding, meaning that if you submit it and you don’t choose to go here, you won’t have to pay a fine or anything. It simply secures your spot in the housing line if you DO choose to go to UCSD. </p>
<p>@Jantnz03 that statistic seems highly skewed to me- perhaps that is true for only one of the colleges. If you look at this link, you will see that there are a lot of singles (Warren). [UC</a> San Diego Housing - Warren College](<a href=“http://housing.ucsd.edu/warren.asp]UC”>http://housing.ucsd.edu/warren.asp) But in Sixth, you see that there are way more triples. [UC</a> San Diego Housing - Sixth College](<a href=“http://housing.ucsd.edu/sixth.asp]UC”>http://housing.ucsd.edu/sixth.asp). Most colleges either look a lot like Sixth OR have doubles available as well.</p>
<p>The statistics I gave were for Warren college.</p>
<p>When do you get to choose a single/double - i already did the original housing app in march</p>
<p>Warren? Single for sure.</p>
<p>You choose your single/double/triple preference in late May/early June range.</p>
<p>What do you guys think of rooming with someone random vs with someone you are already friends with? Pros/cons?</p>
<p>For Revelle, is a single or triple better?</p>
<p>@Midnight Roses: Pro’s of rooming with someone you know: you know they’re not total freaks (believe me there are people at this school that would make your life MISERABLE if you had to room with them), it may be easier to come up with ‘rules’ per se (such as guests, noise etc), you may get along better than if you’re with a total stranger. Con’s - you may be tempted to chill in the dorm or hang out with old friends more instead of going out and meeting new people. this is just my opinion but I absolutely think living with someone you already know is a far superior idea. Just make sure you’re extra social, join clubs/the greek system, and develop your own set of friends separate from your roommate’s so it won’t be like high school all over again.</p>
