<p>At the school I'll be at this fall, doubles and singles cost the same amount. For freshman, I think the availability is about half and half, but the request is much higher for doubles, so people get stuck with singles in the end who didn't want one.</p>
<p>For my school,</p>
<p>a double runs, for my hall, $4190 for the year.</p>
<p>I'm getting a single next semester. There is a lot of open rooms here. About 70% of campus is either in a fraternity or a sorority, so a lot of rooms opened up when everybody did that stuff. </p>
<p>The extra cost for a single here is $1048 a semester.</p>
<p>I pay 0$ for my single (I'm an RA on campus). Best part of RAing if you ask me.</p>
<p>Holy cow! Doubles here are at least $6200 per year (more typically around $6700) and singles start at $7200.</p>
<p>CDN_dancer... well, you can live off campus in the ghetto for cheaper...</p>
<p>if there's not much in the way of student friendly off campus housing, the the school starts to get a monopoly.</p>
<p>Stop whining. We pay $6,400 a semester for a double, or worse, a quad, in some cases. Singles are about $16,500 a year.</p>
<p>Wow, that's a lot!</p>
<p>I'm paying $10,250 this year for my single.</p>
<p>I my (old) school it was only $200 more a semester than having a double. $2,000-something for a double, and just over for a single.</p>
