[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you. My very quiet kid has been assigned to a triple. He had read that his college has a lengthy questionnaire for incoming freshmen to match roommates and assign people to hall sections, including a free response essay about interests and the opportunity to request a single. But when the housing form came out this year, it asked exactly two questions: one about sleeping habits and another about visitors. Then it took until near the end of July for the college to even tell him where he's living. Not sure how random assignments took that long. He's not happy, not excited, and not optimistic. I am starting to regret the horror stories I've told him over the years about my own experience in a freshman year triple. Not good.[/quote]

Did you agree to pay for a double? I'm curious if colleges honor requests if you ask for double or single and are willing to pay the higher rate.[/quote]
Many colleges don't have different pay rates. I pay the same for my junior's single studio-like housing with its own kitchen and bathroom as when she was a freshman in a triple dorm that can only be described as a halfway house.[/quote]
