I just received my dorm

contract today from Texas A&M University, and it turns out that I have a choice of either a single room or a

double room.

The double room is $1995/semester and the single is like $2100-$2190/semester - so cost isn\'t an

issue since there isn\'t too much of a difference.

The only downfall of the single room (that I see) is that

it opens to an outside balcony, but it connects to another room via the bathroom. This makes me wonder if this

particular design takes away from the social atmosphere dorms are supposed to create.

The double room is pretty

spacy and has a private bathroom, but I fear that I will get a roommate with homicidal tendencies.

Anyway, if

you had a choice between a single dorm and a double dorm, bearing in mind that there is only a $200 difference

between the two, which would you choose? Why would you choose one over the other?
