Barrett Housing: private vs shared bed/bath

I’m trying to choose my Barrett housing, and I’m a bit torn. I’ll be a freshman living in Cereus Hall with the other Barrett engineering students, and I have to choose one of these room options:

private bed, private bath

private bed, shared bath

shared bed, shared bath

I was leaning towards private bed/private bath (because having my own bathroom would be awesome). However, I asked a few previous Barrett students, and they said they didn’t know anyone who choose this. One person also warned me that it would be harder to socialize in a private bed/private bath room, and recommended that I go with private bed/shared bath.

Does living in a private bed/private bath really make you feel isolated? Is it even a normal thing for freshmen to do?

If anyone wants to share their experience with the Barrett housing, that’d be much appreciated.

Thanks!
