The 'Least' Competitive 'Single' dorm room to get into for sophomore transfer

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Hello.</p>

<p>I am a sophomore transfer going to Cornell this fall.</p>

<p>I just want to get some advice on the housing application to increase the probability that I get a 'single' dorm room.</p>

<p>I am currently living in double and my roommate seriously drives me nuts, and i am just afraid to bumping into a similar problem next year.</p>

<p>I am just about to finish up the online housing application.</p>

<p>For the room type preferences, I chose single and double in order and did not choose anything else after preference 2.</p>

<p>I just don't know what house I should choose for preference 1 in order to get a single room. I have West Campus, Residence Halls, and other program houses to choose.</p>

<p>What houses do cornell students prefer the least? and how bad in terms of room quality do you think they are?</p>

<p>Comments would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Just bumping this up, I’m in the exact same situation. Also does a single cost extra?</p>

<p>I don’t know how “easy” it is to get, but my Soph. D has a single in Mennen that beats the heck out of the triple she had in high rise last year. She has a view of the slope out her window, the entire floor is singles, does cost a little more.</p>

<p>IIRC they reserve a chunk of rooms on West for incoming transfers, including singles and singles within suites. Fairly easy to get if you request a single and west.</p>
