Honestly, I see a lot of advantages to not having a roommate/being in a single. You don't have to worry about a roommate who snores all night, one that does things with his/her significant other while you are in the room, someone who opens the window in the dead of winter, and your son/daughter will certainly have more privacy, especially when it's late and he/she doesn't want to walk all the way to one of the libraries.
If you look at Hereford's website, demand for Hereford has increased this year so you have to understand that it may be difficult to accommodate everyone's first choice. It's a trade off of applying for a residential college with primarily (75%) singles.
But it is a social place...your son/daughter is not going to lose out just because they did not get a roommate assigned for first year. Have an open mind and give it a chance before you condemn it.
