YAY for CG! Singles are amazing...mine doesn't have a sink, so yours will be even nicer...no more crappy roommates for you!

Congrats! I've had a double for 2 years (2nd year by choice), and am having a double in the apartment starting in April. But I'm sharing the room with my beau, so that makes it all better.

My sophomore year I had an effective single: had a roomie whose gf had a single! I'd see him maybe once a week, and then only for an hour, tops! Although twice during the year, he had several friends (and brother) come visit, and they of course crashed in my room.

Actually, the first time, I was away or at my gf's apartment (I don't remember). The next time, though, was kinda scary. I came home late one night and found blood stains all over my sink and bathroom floor! Overheard the roomies friends the next day talk about how they stopped by the room (already drunk) when one of them decided he needed to shave! Needless to say, he butchered himself. Lesson learned: alcohol and razors don't mix!!!

Anyway, congrats CG! Enjoy it!

Sounds like they're working that out. And no need to put a sock over the door or whatever signal the kids are using these days.

Nah, no need for a sock. Most dormroom occupants have one of those dry-erase boards on their doors. Just write "busy!" and sooner or later your roommate will get the point - it only takes one "oops, sorry!" moment to drive it home.

How is your room laid out - do you have a loft? You're so lucky to have a sink of your own - get yourself one of those plastic microwavable pots and you can make ramen in-house!

My roommates and I always pre-arranged a signal. The best was drawing a pentagram on the board.

Well, you could make the message more clear than that...for instance instead of "Busy" it would be clearer to write Gettin' Busy .

could I possibly have gotten ANY more lucky?

You could live in your own two bedroom apartment by yourself. I hated roommates, so this was the correct option for me. Sweet silent bliss. Plus a nice library/den room for quiet reading and mad scribbling on a whiteboard (homework).

I don't know how the housing market is where you went to college, but there's no way in hell I could have affforded that in college. I would have trouble affording it now; rent for a two bedroom apartment in Minneapolis/St. Paul is significantly more than my monthly mortgage payments on my one-bedroom house.
