RAs plan events. Sure, a little awkward at first, but you get used to it. Hanging out with your dorm friends no matter their gender is tons of fun, but the day-to-day living is actually kind of boring. Yup, everybody showers. Everybody looks a little worn out in the mornings. And everybody poops. I shared a cozy little room with another female student, and we had two boys living next door.
Some people got dressed in the communal bathroom after they showered, and some just walked to and from their room in robes or towels. Either way is a little nerve-wracking at first, but, again, you get used to it. Plenty of students simply feel more at ease in single-sex dorms. Some students hold religious or moral beliefs about men and women living together. And some colleges, often those affiliated with a religion, take a stance against co-ed dorms anyway.
Basically, dating is hard no matter where you live, and co-ed dorms are not depraved spontaneous hookup dens. So, now that you know a little bit more about co-ed dorm buildings , what about co-ed dorm rooms , aka gender-neutral housing? And students say a good roommate is a good roommate, regardless of their gender.
Some gay students feel more comfortable rooming with someone of the opposite sex. And students who identify as trans- or non-gender-binary appreciate dorms where they feel welcome as a person.
However, advocates of gender-neutral housing also point out that these policies can unfairly limit students, because those who feel more comfortable in gender-neutral housing can only pick from the reduced options, as opposed to living wherever they want on campus.
And sometimes students need to submit a special application to live with a member of the opposite sex. Even at colleges offering gender-neutral housing, many if not most students still choose to room with members of the same sex.
Most schools introduced the couples option in the past three or four years. So far, relatively few students are taking part. At the University of Pennsylvania, which began offering coed rooms in , about out of 10, students took advantage of the option this year. At UC Riverside, which has approximately 6, students in campus housing, about 50 have roommates of the opposite sex.
The school has had the option since Garcia and Youngdahl live in a house for students with an interest in Russian studies. What a stupid reason to sue. We are so freaking sue-happy in this country. Though very few people took that opportunity! But most floors are coed floors. People are ridiculous. Coed Dorm Disadvantages. Some people find it stressful to be around the opposite sex all the time.
Remember, guys and girls will be seeing you without makeup and when you have just woken up and when you are sick. If this sounds uncomfortable, consider same-sex living. If you have strong religious views on certain issues such as pre-marital sex , coed dorms might make you uncomfortable. Remember, some students will be there to party. For female students, living next to men can be a safety issue. It is not common, but some female students may feel sexually harassed or endangered by living next to the wrong guy.
If you are super modest about your body and the bodies of others, coed dorming can pose uncomfortable situations. You will see people in towels, robes, and maybe in their underwear. If this idea freaks you out, consider single-sex living. It is easy to meet dates in coed dorms, but this can be a problem as well.
Most people who date or hook up in the dorms eventually break up. So before you start going after someone in your dorm, think about what it would be like to see that person every day after you have broken up.
