Singles and triples?

<p>Does anyone know what a single and a triple is like? is a single on the same floor as a bunch of other singles or is it in a floor w/ doubles and triples so one would be left out kinda? and is a triple three beds in one room or 3 separate rooms connecting to one common room? which is better?</p>

<p>The answers to your questions all depend on which College House you are talking about. There's no general rule. Usually, though, singles are not in a floor of all singles. Floors have many different types of rooms, including singles, doubles, triples and quads. In the high rises, for example, there are three-bedroom triples, or three-bedroom quads. The former are more expensive because each person gets his/her own room. Singles in a high rise are even more expensive and is not the regular room to expect. On the other hand, I had a single at Hill freshman year. It is just a little more expensive than doubles at Hill, and it was reasonably good. I really can't imagine my freshman year at Hill without having my single.</p>

<p>you can look up room plans on the housing website:</p>

<p>well i'm refering solely on the quad...are the triples or singles better there? and is it harder to make friends with a single or is it exceptionally better? and what are the chances of geting a single?</p>
