<p>How difficult is it to get a single dorm room? Is it worth it? What are the best dorms for engineering majors (I.e. quietness, people in similar majors, etc)? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Single rooms are fairly rare outside of North, Nittany Apartments, and Eastview (and Eastview is not open to freshmen). West Halls is where the highest concentration of engineering/IST majors are, but there are fewer freshmen.</p>
<p>I guess what I meant to ask is, as a junior, is it difficult to get a single room? Meaning is there a waiting list or does the increased price scare people off enough…</p>
<p>Haha…gotcha. The answer is pretty much the same, but it gets harder to get a room, period, as a junior/senior. Contracts are offered and there is a wait list, but you wouldn’t want to be without a Plan B for a place to live.</p>

<p>Take a look at E House in McKee (West Halls)–

<p>You wouldn’t have a single but the rooms are large, you’d be living with other engineering students and the location is convenient.</p>
