Lonely? Absolutely not, I loved having a single dorm freshman year. You can leave your door open or closed. Freshman dorms tend to be quite social, so it is good to be able to shut your door and get some work done.

I roomed with a sorority sister in the dorms sophomore year, and I had to pay her to leave because our schedules were so different and she was bothering me getting up early and making noise. Every day. So in January, she found a place in the sorority house and I paid off the rest of the housing contract. Best $1,000 my parents ever spent.

You can never predict whether your roommate will have personal issues that you don’t want to get involved with.
