[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a normal and well adjusted extrovert and I *wish* I had had a single as a freshman. I had singles sophomore and senior year and was much happier (I had a roommate when I studied abroad and that was no fun). Some people just want their own space. I find that to be totally fine and understandable.  Sharing a ROOM with someone is no more preparation for "real life" than sharing an apartment or townhouse with someone; there's nothing sacred about having to sleep in the same room as someone else.

I said something like this above as well and I’m surprised so many people disagree. I don’t think it’s spoiled to not want to have your entire living space shared with a total stranger.

My DS is concerned about sharing because he’s a very early to bed early to rise kind of person. He’s going to have to develop some flexibility on this in college but even a suite would accomplish that. I shared a room one year in college with someone that blasted music and was on the phone every night talking loudly until 3am. I had an internship every morning at 9 that year. It was awful. I was constantly exhausted. And she was someone I was friends with going in! But she just refused to accommodate my schedule. [/quote]
