Many freshman live in singles…you can generally get a single if you prefer it. Sophomore year most people get doubles but after that, I think most juniors and singles are able to get singles as well. Housing is guaranteed for 4 years and generally speaking, facilities are quite good considering you live in Manhattan… There are random grand pianos on campus, especially in dorm lounges, but there are also practice room pianos available. Basically everything is pretty practical and you have access to anything that you would need…particularly since you can choose which dorms you want and most of the time, be able to get it.
