Who thinks I get a double to myself, and who thinks I get some whining roomate who complained about their room/roomate and gets switched into my room?

You may get a double to yourself until some new exchange students come in - that wouldn't surprise me a bit. I actually volunteered to have an exchange student stay with me the last time I stayed in the dorm; I thought it would be neat. For some strange reason no other male students came in that semester, and I ended up with the room to myself the whole time.

i got a double as a single my first semester when I transferred because my rooommate changed his mind a week or two before we were due to arrive. I ended up having a single for the first semester, and got a 2nd semester transfer the second.

My school is pretty money grubbing...so if it happen at my school, it can happen annnywhere

That would be a good idea!

Word of warning: If the student is indian (or maybe even mid-eastern) do not let them cook in your room. Might smell good while he's cooking, but you'll never get the curry smell out of your room :p

My roomate ended up moving out of the room just a few weeks into the 2nd semester of freshmen year, and I had the option of paying like $1000 to lock the room into a single. I opted not to pay and ended up never getting a new roomate. It was AWESOME!@

I'm not sure whether I'd bite the bullet on that or not if the option arose.

QFT. Happened to me. Had a nice huge ass room to myself for like 3 weeks. Then this sick creature moved in. Made the rest of that semester a LIVING HELL!

you love him and you know it!

Bringing up this guy over and over makes me want to just dropout before I even go.

Why would you leave your toothbrush out? That's sick.
