My D. had a single studio her senior year – it was in college-owned housing, but in an apartment building located several blocks away from campus – the college had a small number of studios available, limited to the seniors who were lucky enough to snag them My daughter absolutely loved living there that year – although there were other students in the building, it was a regular apartment building (New York city). My daughter had to write her senior thesis that year, and I think she really liked the space to herself so she could bury herself in her project when she wanted to.

I’d note that my daughter is very outgoing and takes initiative to go out on her own to participate in all sots of things, so no risk of her becoming reclusive. Of course by senior year she had a well-established circle of friends and activities she was involved with.
