<p>If you check the housing website, you could find information about cost differences ([UGA</a> housing: Rates & amenities](<a href=“University Housing – Student Affairs”>University Housing – Student Affairs)). If your type of financial aid will pay for housing, it’ll pay for whatever on-campus housing you get, regardless of whether it’s a single or double room. </p>
<p>Honestly though, I would reconsider getting a rooommate. You’re a freshman! It’s part of the experience. You could make a friend! UGA has this roommate matching service, dawghouse (<a href=“https://www.housing.uga.edu/secure/dawghouse/index.php[/url]”>https://www.housing.uga.edu/secure/dawghouse/index.php</a>). You can look for people who you think will do well with you and talk with them some. If you find someone you like, you can request that person. That’s how I found my freshman roommate, and it worked out great. We’re still friends.</p>
<p>The chances of you getting a single room is very slim though. You could either do East Campus Village, where you’ll have your own room, but share an apartment sort of place, or you’ll be in Oglethorpe House (more commonly referred to as Ohouse). Getting a single room in Ohouse is HARD and usually goes to non-freshman students who have acquired UGA credits. </p>
<p>Pros for having your own room would be noise control…privacy…</p>
<p>It’s your choice. Personally, I think it would’ve been really lonely to not have a roommate.</p>
