and what's 2bdroom apt1 bathroom thing or w/e it says?

I recommend Single with washroom because your name is etoilex3 which is practically the word toilet. and... you'd get your own washroom that you wouldn't have to share... (unless you want to pay less, check out the price differences, if there are any??)

Single w/ washroom seems quite difficult to get, it doesnt seem like there are many of these but it's definitley worth a try. I would recommend putting single w/ washroom higher on your preference list than single.

having a washroom would be great, in my opinion. it makes things so much easier, however you will have to clean it yourself which can be a downside for some.

i think it's worth it to pay the extra to have your own washroom. that way, you won't have to have scheduled showers and you can keep it as clean as you'd like and not have to worry about other people's messes and when they want to use it.

Mac already knows if what you're saying is true. Since I'm a prince they approach me monthly for donations.

I'm currently living in Fight0's old room Singles with washrooms are awesome.

The vast majority of them are in LP but there are a few throughout the traditional residence buildings. Getting one outside of LP is very difficult because there are so few. The ones outside of LP are generally much bigger though.

I think having a single with washroom would be great. The washrooms they have in Hedden that are single occupancy but outside of your room are great as a secondary choice but you can't list building preference on the applications anymore.

That said the public style washrooms aren't so bad. In first year I lived in Hedden so it was the single occupancy washrooms that are cleaned by the cleaning staff, win. In second year though I ended up in Whidden and they only have the single occupancy washrooms on the first floor. The rest of the building is public style washrooms and before I moved in I was not really keen on this but it wasn't so bad really. You don't have to "schedule showers," at least from my experience you can get a shower whenever you want one. You don't have to clean the washroom or provide your own toilet paper or pay extra which is good. Its not as private but if you don't want to spend the extra money its not the end of the world to have to share a bathroom. You get used to it.

Ive never had to schedule my showers. THeres always one when I have to go. No mater what time of day it is. Also, the showers here are fairly clean. They get cleaned every day.

Are the singles with washrooms in LP mostly first year?
Are the single rooms in other residences scattered near each other or random?
What would be the best bet for ending up around some upper years instead of ONLY first years?

since you are placed randomly, you will be surrounded by first years.
think about it, 80% of the residences are for first years
