You could always claim to have a sleeping disorder in which you tend to sleep walk in the nude and make four course meals on the hotplate - or you could "scream swear words in your sleep as well". Any condition in which you should not be near or around other people after dark could get you your own room. You could also consider being a vampire or gay.

It depends on the college you go to. I have never heard of colleges allowing you to room alone. Size-I don't know. It depends on the college. I had a 4 (person) room at Hyles Anderson College and it was about-may be 20 by 15 feet. I was told that I was an angry person so I had roomed by my self the next year and it was a small room (10 by 13) or so. By the way-this room size was for 2 people, I just roomed alone. I had a 6 person room and it was 35 by 25 and it was crowded for 6 women. It would have been nice if It was a 3 person room. After that-I didn't want to room with any women every again. After 4 years of that place, I quit. If you can get a room by yourself-good luck. I would advise not rooming with anyone if you are female. if you are male-well, men have less "Stuff" so...you can try it and see if you like it.

It all depends on the college and dorm. The colleges I have been to you had to fill out lots of forms and prove you really had need of being alone. They can range in size. The place I went to first had 2 person dorms larger than 3-4 person rooms in other schools.

If you're going to college as a freshman its probably not a good idea to get a single dorm as a freshman. You're not always going to know what you're doing and its going to be nice to have a roommate or two to help get you through the first year. Even if it does get noisy you can always go to a library or quiet area. Also a lot of colleges don't even allow freshman to have a single dorm. And it would cost more if you got one anyway.

It is possible to get a single room. But singles are very rare at college. My friend looked into it, because she hates living with people lol. Often the college will charge you a large fee for getting a single. Most colleges do not have single rooms but rent out doubles for only one person. They will make exceptions if you have real medical problems but you have to have doctors orders saying you actually have this problem etc.

It depends on the school, but sometimes you can. At the school I used to go to, you were able to have your own room (the same size as any other two person room) if you paid an extra $500 a semester. It actually wasn't too uncommon...one of the girls on my floor was a senior and had her own room. Also, me and a friend of mine on the same floor transferred after first semester and both of our roommates are getting their own rooms this coming semester. I guess its nice if you want to have privacy and lots of space, plus roommates can really suck sometimes!

Yes but it will be very small. I know. Look for one called an efficency or of course a one bedroom. If they don't let you, you can always say you have personal problems and you would feel more comfertable not living with someone.

No doubt it's highly dependent on the school. Some schools don't have any singles, others have them, but only for upper-classman, etc. There's no way we can really answer this for you.
