[quote=Anonymous]DS was just advised that he is being placed in a single at the university that he planned to attend. We knew there was some chance this would happen, but had discounted that possibility. Neither he nor we are happy about that prospect, as it seems to create the risk that DS will feel isolated and not make connections or stay on track. Am finding this sufficiently worrisome that we have started to think of recommending that he take a gap year and reapply to other schools next fall that don't stick first-year students in singles. Any experiences with kids living in singles as freshmen? My university did not allow it because it wanted freshmen to have roommates. I think that is a better policy, but the university DS is slated to attend does have other positive attributes. [/quote]
