<p>fauve- i agree with you on the points that you made. However, I just think a single will make for an easier transition for me. I intend to get roommates in the 2nd year. If you really think about it, there are pros and cons to both and I intend to experience both, but in the first year, I just think a single would be a better choice. Can someone give me pros and cons to a single at Harvard, specifically, as in the types of dorms they get, are most people who live alone pretty normal, etc?</p>
