[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally agree with the sentiment that a single is the way to go.  I had a double in TN in the '90s, can't remember if we had AC, hated my roommate and was incredibly jealous of the people who had dared to request a single.  Having a roommate is highly overrated.

To give you another perspective, my daughter will be a freshman at an Ivy this fall and was assigned a triple.  No AC, high floor.  Bummer but those are the breaks.  And everyone does *not* in fact pay the same for housing; the annual fee for a triple is about $2K less than for a single.   From student message boards, the going rate for someone to initiate a housing swap (their single for your double or triple) runs at least $2K, likely more like $4K.[/quote]
DC just finished freshman year at Harvard in a suite. Her two roommates got there before us and she had to sleep in...the common room. No, not a room that was separate from their living area, she was in what was supposed to be the living space for a double suite. I was much more angry than she will ever be about it of course, but it is insane to me that the Harvard College can't afford enough beds for their relatively tiny class.[/quote]

I hope the Aesop's Fable person from the thread on T20 dorms is reading this.[/quote]
