If you can’t find a roommate (or don’t really want one), sign up for a single room or apartment. With the opening of North Quad, more than 1,500 singles will be available in 2010/2011. So choose one for next year and be the boss of you. Make your own decisions about when to be noisy or quiet, messy or tidy, studious or playful. Keep the lights on all night long or turn in early. But above all, relax, spread out and enjoy your privacy.
