Re #72-73: I would add that the university's administration failed to take
the responsibility they promised the parents they would take. I think
some of the blame should be laid at their feet. They clearly didn't think
of themselves as being in loco parentis, but the parents thought they
were.

When I was in undergrad college, the first year we lived in sex-segregated
dorms and any male visitor to your room had to be announced loudly with 'Man
on floor!'. My father enjoyed announcing himself. There was a student
guarding the only entrance and an 11 pm curfew. The second year the dorms
all went co-ed and the dorm mother was living with a male student and nobody
seemed to care who used which bathroom (1969). I presume 1969 is about the
time the universities stopped trying to police their students' behavior.

Yep. Now, they'd never be able to get away with it. Thankfully.

No kidding. Since 90% of my close friends were guys, I'd have been bored out
of my mind.

It still happened in the late 70s, as I mentioned about Adrian College. Of
course, it is affiliated with the Methodists, and ws about ten years behind
the times in letting go of their in loco parentis attitudes, but I'm glad I
went there and didn't have to deal with co-ed dorms.

It still happens at religious colleges, but there's a simple solution to that
-- don't go to one. ;-)

What's so horrible about co-ed dorms? As far as I know, they are mostly co-ed
by floor. If you want to get more horrible than that, move into a coop like
me where its pretty much co-ed by room, and sometimes mixed in there.
I did actually enjoy living in an all-girls dorm during the second half of
my freshman year of college. Previous to that I'd been much like sarah, with
90% of my friends being guys... and it introduced me to the other gender.
:) I did actually used to feel rather uncomfortable having conversations
that weren't shallow with women.
The demographics of my high school vs. college friends are SO different in
so many ways...

Co-ed dorms were great, from my point of view. I have a lot of female
friends, and living in an all-male dorm would have been a bummer.

I wouldn't have liked it, but I didn't have to. So... c'est la vie.

I'll never understand howhsomeone can say I would or wouldn't have liked it
- you don't know, because you never tried. I lived in a co-ed dorm - I would
have been fine in a girl's dorm.

re #87 - How do you know you would have liked an all girls dorm if you
never tried it?
I think most people know themselves well enough to know if they would
have liked same-gender or co-ed dorms. I know I would be fine with
either even though I never lived in a "dorm". I also am pretty sure I
wouldnt like to eat dog poop even though I have never done it.

I used to live in a student house with four other people. We generally tried
to get the male/female ratio to be 2/3 or 3/2. An all-guy house (or dorm)
tends to get too much into the obnoxious locker-room behavior. With both
sexes around things are much better balanced.

Usually, I've heard the same sentiment in #92 from both sexes -- everyone
thinks members of their own sex will be better behaved when members of the
opposite sex are around. One notable exception was Spider, who refused to
have any other women living in the apartment, no matter how many men there
were to balance them out. When we asked why, she'd mutter about feminine
hygeine products cluttering up the bathroom and constant emotional crises.
She had more testosterone than all the rest of us combined.

the first dorm I started out in was men-only (religious school, okay?
hehehe.. they had a good music program) and I think it was a
reasonably good experience.

The only man (men) I've lived with have been family. And that's the way I like
it.

Why what? I grew up with a father and a brother and live with a husband and
have lived with my son. Isn't that enough males for anyone? :-)
