We won't want to have two. You will just have to wait and see. Others choose to buy larger items here, either at the Bookstore or off-campus. I want to make sure that my roommate will be able to live with me. The number of roomies depends on the configuration of the dormitory you are assigned to, and you can't request a specific number.
Most rooms are doubles, but many are triples or quads.
Very few are singles. The coordinators will take the information you provide on your information forms and try to make a good match, taking into account academic interests, extracurricular activities, region, and living habits. Finally, please remember that although we do all we can to make a good match, not all roommates end up as best friends. You should indicate your housing preferences on the housing form in Approaching Stanford . We will assign you to a dormitory based on these preferences.
