Co-Ed Dorm Rooms

[Shortie]

Found this kind of interesting. I've never lived in a dorm so I was curious to see what others who have think about it...

Thought out of left field...

If young men and women learn at an early age what it's REALLY like to live with someone of the opposite sex...

It may further decrease marriage rates. 

On a serious note - I lived in a co-ed dorm in the late 1980's and it was a great neutralizer for dumb stupid guy stuff

We had coed bathrooms and it was no big deal.  Not sure how I'd feel about a room though.

I for one have always had better luck with male friends than female ones. I would be hesitant to spend my semesters stuck in a room with other girls simply because more of them than not are catty and dramatic. I don't really have the patience for that.

I can see how it might be shocking for some parents and an absolute no-no for people of certain faiths, but I think it's kind of cool that the option is at least available. School is stressful enough as it is; I imagine being stuck in a dorm with people you don't mesh with just makes it that much worse...

“When you have a male and female sharing such close quarters, I think it's somewhat delusional to think there won't be sexual tension,” the 52-year-old Feldman said. “Maybe this generation feels more comfortable walking around in their underwear. I'm not sure that's a good thing.”

Isn't a college dorm full of sexual tension anyway?

I don't know about you, but my whole life is full of sexual tension

If you are inferring that female roomates are clean, you are gravely mistaken.

I really don't think it matters... in the dorm anyway. I really had a great time when I was in the dorms my freshman year, and looking back, if there had been coed rooms I don't think it would have negative effected my sexual activities. I didn't really study anyway, so I see the whole thing as a neutral change.

I lived with one of my girlfriends for a year (my sophomore year in college), and it was an incredibly stupid thing to do, but I learned my lesson.

the same way the guys do

i'm infering that with someone of the opposite sex that isn't related to you living in the same quarters, most people at that age would be more apt to not be as messy.

the same way the guys do 

my roomie and i wrote yes or no on the whiteboard on our door. if it said no then we found somewhere else to sleep that night or somewhere to hang out for a few hrs. i was lucky in that my roomate wasn't all that lucky, and i had a g/f so he knew in advance when she was coming over. i was thinking about the ones that were always getting busy when i posed the question. most of the girls i knew in college waited until their roomie was gone for the night or went to the guy's room.

Brilliant!

I went to Pace University in NYC. When I lived in the dorms they had coed floors. You couldnt have a female roomate but there were floors that were coed.

My friend wanted to live with his girlfriend and I wanted to live with mine. So we just got rooms next to each other and swapped.

Overall good times I tell ya. mmmmm Pace
