single vs. double dorm room

<p>hey, so i was wondering -- would living in a single room as a freshman be a bad idea? i know the spaces are limited and usually taken by upperclassmen, but i figured i'd give it a shot anyway.</p>

<p>what are the pros/cons? is it hard to socialize if you have your own room, or is it worth it for the privacy? </p>

<p>thanks. =)</p>
