<p>I looked online and some people say you have to submit your housing app immediately to get one, while others say that if you request a single you're basically guaranteed to get one. Does anyone who go to Cornell or did go know anything helpful? I really want a single, not because I'm a hermit, but I'd really just like to do my own thing.</p>
<p>There are lots of singles and they’re more expensive, so many people opt for doubles. DS1 had no trouble getting a single. He’s a recent graduate.</p>
<p>Oh ok good this is so exciting to hear</p>
<p>There is no guarantee that you would get one, but definitely submit your housing application asap.</p>
<p>Last year there was a deadline for the first batch of random room assignments. It was sometime in May, I think. Basically everyone who submits a housing application by that date is assigned housing at the same time, so there’s really no rush.</p>
<p>did your housing application come with your welcome package?</p>
<p>^ I think you can do it online as well. Check [Housing</a> - Housing Home](<a href=“Housing | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University”>http://housing.cornell.edu/) for more details</p>
