I don't know, I'm sure you could trust your kids, but it still seems inappropriate...

I don't see what's wrong with the traditional same-sex room assignments.

They're adults now. I think they can take responsibility or action without their parent's input if they don't want it. If someone's not comfortable with it, they can always ask for a same-sex situation, can't they?

It's not that there is anything wrong with it. It's just a matter of space sometimes. At my old college the newest building allowed co-ed rooms because the female to male ratio was about 4:1 and trying to separate it by floor would have been ridiculous. There would have to be a co-ed floor anyway and making people have separate rooms only adds (unnecessary) names to the waiting list. |

We had co-ed dorms, except for one building for women only. That's how I met my husband - he lived next door to me. If we could have been roomates that would have been cool! We pretty much were anyway. |

There should be a range of options:
Single gender dorms
Dorms that are single gender by floor but have males and females in the same building.
Dorms that are single gender by room but co-ed on the floor.
Dorms that are co-ed by the room.
That way, each student could have the arrangement he/she prefers.

Seems fine if you get to choose the opposite sex roommate. If they are assigned randomly, then no way. rape city.

I've always wondered why people think that random guys at college are just waiting to rape women.
Anyway most colleges have the rooms assigned randomly when you first join the college but you can always ask. |
