Is having a roommate great or is it a distraction? When is a good time to do homework?
These are just a few of the questions people have to ask themselves before they choose the single life. Not many students on campus live in a single.
The majority of students on campus live with a roommate or multiple roommates.
Choosing to live in a single could be beneficial or it could be quite the opposite. Many people who live in singles are happy because they chose to live that way. But there is a slight few who do not enjoy living in a single, even though they chose to.
“I really thrive on having my alone time at the end of the day,” sophomore Ryan Taylor said.
Living in a single means that one does not have any roommates or suitemates to keep company.
Would that mean that there is a decrease in their social life?
“[I] feel that more people come to my room, since I have a single,” Taylor said. Taylor enjoys being in a single because she can do things on her own time.
How would one occupy time while living in a single?
Living in a single means living alone, so does that mean that individual would get bored all the time?
“Not really,” Taylor said. “I have people over, I watch Netflix and I clean all the time.” However, that is not the case for everyone.
“I really have a hard time occupying my time,” senior Lauren Russo said. “I have a lot of friends here, but I find myself bored most of the time.”
Is being in a single beneficial to getting good grades? Living in a single means that those living in singles do not have distractions.
“It is so quiet and relaxed that I don’t have to go to the library, I can just do my homework in the quietness of my room,” Russo said.
“It was kinda hard last year to get things done while having a roommate,” Taylor and Russo said. “I would be trying to do homework or study and they would be watching TV or having people over.”
