<p>a single for a first year in a coop would be unlikely.
A word of caution about coops: they are a mixed bag. Some are uber-PC, so are a matter of taste. And as to taste, some have some pretty marginal fare. I ate at one of the larger ones several times and would not recommend it: lots of mush, unbalanced meals, and in that particular coop, a not particularly friendly crew of students (I encountered some rudeness, too), so it might be better to try them out before choosing one.</p>
