My RA told me how I could go into Columbia housing next year, and it seems like I should just get a single in Hewitt. The meal plan isn't that awful, and I really need a single. And I can go in with my friends so we'd have singles that are close together. I could still entertain people in my room in Hewitt, I just couldn't have parties (meaning I won't have to clean up after parties). It might work out well.
