" &amp;quot;You have a single room? You&amp;#039;re so lucky!&amp;quot; I hear it all the time. Sure, I only share a bathroom with one suitemate and have the closet all to myself, but it really isn&amp;#039;t that glamorous. Single rooms are often not mixed in with the others but located in a corner of the hall instead\u2014or sometimes on a whole separate floor! To sum it up: nobody remembers to write on the whiteboard that I mounted on my door. Most freshmen don&amp;#039;t get access to a single dorm; however, my doctors at the Cystic Fibrosis clinic enforced the importance of my not having a roommate. My breathing treatment equipment must be kept sterile, which means a roommate can&amp;#039;t accidentally knock it on the floor, blow on it, put it back, and still call it aseptic. Besides, what roommate wants to listen to the noise of my breathing treatments at 2am\u2014or worse, have a &amp;quot;wake-up call&amp;quot; at 6am?! After unpacking, I thought my room was huge and fabulous. I noticed a lot of other girls wandering the halls with their roomies, making new friends. I looked across the hall: do I knock on the triple room filled entirely of hot guys and introduce myself solo? Heck no! A lot of people leave their doors open. Do I leave mine open just so people can watch me stare at a wall? Heck no! By the end of the day, I had a mansion of a dorm, and nobody to share it with.  If you ended up in a single, how are you getting out and making new friends? Sound off in the comments! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
