<p>Seniors are not automatically placed in singles, they choose their room. Seniors are guaranteed a single if they want one. My daughter , who just graduated from MHC, was never in a single. She preferred to have a roommate.
I asked her about the Singles Lottery and she said that is mainly spring semester when juniors living in singles go abroad. Rather than give the room to a Spring admit, it is offered to a upperclass student.</p>
