I am basically having the same thoughts as everyone else…

Should I go for a single or a double?

Would living alone really harm my chances at branching out socially?

I am generally pretty social and I do not want to end a up a loner at Chicago, so I know I am going to make a strong effort to get to know people right off the bat. Living in a single seems like a pretty good idea because I would not have to worry about being bothered by/bothering a roomate. Making time for quietstudy would be easier (although I am sure there are plenty of places to go), and having friends stay the night would be easier. Still… going in alone does kind of scare me. Would I be missing out without a roomate?

Can anyone who lived in a single give me some advice?
