<p>I noticed these questions from earlier in the thread:</p>
<p>“Would a double or a single room be preferable? I had always thought I wanted a double so I would meet people easier, but is this the case?”</p>
<p>“i’m in the same boat. i’m thinking of taking a double because living in a single might become boring! i need another soul in the room to talk to. this plan may backfire pretty badly though if i end up not liking my roommate.”</p>
<p>“I’m applying for a single, except for those in the quad because they’re too expensive. I’ve had my own room for 18 years now, so I can’t imagine living with another person”</p>
<p>In my opinion, the best solution would be to go for the suite-style apartments in the highrises, Stouffer, Gregory, or DuBois. You get your own bedroom, so you can maintain your own sleep schedule and simply close the door whenever you want to sleep, study, or just have a bit of quiet time. But you’re still living with roommates, so you’ll always be able to enjoy their company - in fact, suitemates tend to get along better than shared-bedroom roommates because they’re not constantly in each other’s faces. My suitemates and I have remained together for three years. And actual singles (such as those in the Quad) are quite expensive, while your single bedrooms in a suite cost the same as any double or quad room. You really get the best of both worlds!</p>
