I was just reading another post about people getting single rooms at college. I am also planning on doing this but I am worried about making friends. I am no doubt a social person, but this is around people I know. How was it being in a single room and making friends?

i always had a roomate when i lived in the dorms--maybe i just lucked out in the roomate department because mine were always amazing and still to this day are some of my dearest friends. honestly you're not in your room *that* much at least in my experience and when I would be in my room i would have the door open especially those first few weeks of school when everyone is meeting everyone else. I also would just wander down the hall and see who else had their doors open and poke my head in...if you're a pretty sociable person you'll be fine! if you don't shut yourself up in your room all the time you're bound to make friends....

college was so fun...i miss it

I did feel a little left out that I was a freshman and I did not have a roomate to pal along with but that negative does not outweigh the positive that comes with having your own room! I did not have to deal with a roomates schedule and I can sleep when I want, do all my treatments etc. I made friends but I also knew some sophmores so I had some friends right away. I also joined a sorority so then it REALLY did not matter cause I had all that going on and met people in my dorm pledging the same sorority and then we all became friends and ate,etc together.

I have to admit I felt a bit left out but I knew I needed my own room and I did LOVE having my own privacy!

Good Luck!

In my dorm we had suites. I had a private room and shared a bath and living area with 2 other people. It was really the best situation cause I could be alone if I wanted, yet still had a social area so chill with my friends. Having said that most dorms do have a common room or game room that's a social area, so it shouldn't be hard to get left out even if you do end up having a private room. It just might take a little more extroversion on your part.
