Single space vs. 1.5 space

<p>I want to 1.5 space my essay but b/c my essay is exactly 500 words, it doesn't fit on one page then. Should i just keep it single spaced or still 1.5 space it? Thanks.</p>

<p>1.5 spacing is easier on the eyes and will make reading your essay a more pleasurable experience. You could even go ahead and double space it.</p>

<p>Are you submitting it online? If you are, they are going to automatically reformat it anyway.</p>

<p>Huh? I dont get it? They automatically reformat it into 1 page?</p>
