Also, you may not be aware that if a person requires a single because of a disability, they can ask to be charged only the double room rate, if there is a difference.

Certainly, some freshmen wind up acquiring a lifelong friend in their roommate. But just as often, I hear horror stories of roommates who are frighteningly mentally ill, or who lock/bar the other roommate out so that they can host their paramour overnight, or who behave in such a nasty, horrible way to the other roommate in an attempt to push them out, simply from stress, and be left with a single. Now imagine that you are paying top tuition dollar and the highest per square foot rental rate in the entire city, just so that your child can suffer the amount of stress from their roommate that would lead others to have a nervous breakdown.

This is why I feel that colleges should move towards a small singles for all model for freshman housing.
