[nabs-l] Single Room: Opinions

During my undergrad I had both single and roomatess.
I perfer single rooms for the same reason Joseph gave.
Also I had a guide dog in college and it did become an issue with the
roommate.

Howdy Chelsea,
I know that for some people this is a blindness related issue. You might
have even received the recommendation based on the blindness. However,
for me this is not a blindness related thing. I would prefer a single
room for the simple reason that I'm a very private person and I have a,
ahem, unique personality. I would not want to share a room with anyone
else if I had a choice in the matter. I think just about everyone I've
met would be perfectly happy to avoid living with me as well if they had
the choice, thank you. I think when you decide if you should try to get
a single room, you should take factors other than the blindness into
account. For example, you should factor in your personality, personal
habbits you have (I have several that would irritate just about anyone
who tried to live with me), and finances if single rooms and other types
cost different amounts.
