with schools where some teachers get single housing and others get shared housing? What's fair about that?

Who said it was fair?
Some people accept it, most don't. Some places, like mine, have a large apartment built into the place, so it costs the school nothing. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Fortunately there's only me.

I think princess my be referencing that some schools say you'll either get single housing or shared housing. Some teachers have to share while others don't. It sucks but no one is forcing you to sign with a school like that.

Shared housing will become a thing of the past when teachers stop taking such jobs.

Sure, some people may want shared housing. I've met people as old as 35 who have never lived alone. I have lived alone, and that's what I prefer. I'm too independent and private to live with total strangers. To each his own, though.
