Yup. They're the only single rooms. The top floors are slanted but the rest are not. If your room number starts with a 3, you have the third floor. There is a window. The bed is lofted with a desk underneath. I'm not sure of the exact height, but I'm going to guesstimate 5 feet. There is a ladder so you'll be fine. The girl who lived in the single on my floor was just like anyone else on our hall. She loved having the stairwell room because she could have her privacy if she wanted and if she wanted to hang out, she would walk literally 3 steps and be in our hall.

And you definitely don't have it the worst. A lot of people end up loving their singles in McCormick. There are less than 30 of them, so you're one of the lucky 30. You have privacy and great location.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your daughter has yet to START her first year. How can you already decide that about her first year experience? Your college experience (1st, 2nd, 3rd year whatever) is what you make of it.



Kamaro, seriously, get off your high horse. Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech are great schools, but a huge number of students declined their acceptance at VTech to come here. One of my best friends goes to Georgia Tech; he was rejected at UVa. I know at least 5 students who rejected Harvard to come here, 6 rejected Columbia, 8 rejected Yale, etc. I rejected Hopkins, and I'm sure more CCers here can tell you of schools they turned down to come to UVa. (If my memory serves me correctly, powder turned down a full ride at UNC Chapl Hill to come here.) Your daughter may be smart, but there are a hell of a lot of kids here who are on par, if not smarter. Turning down 5 schools is nothing. And she's in Hereford, so she's not even Rodman or Echols; they live in Alderman. If she was stellar at her high school, there's a good chance she'll be "average" at UVa. It's just the nature of the student body; everyone shined at their high school. Everyone achieved, was a leader, had great stats, etc.
