As an admitted old fogey, how about they rethink this co-ed dorm stuff? It began just as I was leaving at the U of Illinois/Champaign and I was always glad I didn’t have to live in one, even though, back then, it was alternate floors for each gender. Given today’s hyper-sexual world, it seems to me to be just setting the kids up for problems.

You are not an old fogey. Several college girls have mentioned that they wished guys wouldn’t be allowed into the dorm rooms, that it was disruptive.

As a teenager
I stayed in a co-ed dorm.
It was wonderful.

We all got along.
Nobody got killed. The mix
I think helped us all

get accustomed to
how the real world differed from
a sheltered home life.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who had this thought cross their mind... this co-ed dorm thing when kids are so young, so hormonal, etc....

I'm with you on that, so I guess I'm an old fogey, too. I graduated from college 33 years ago (GAK, that's a long time!) and the school still even had curfews of midnight on weeknights and 1 am on the weekends. I never had to fool with any of that because I lived at home, but my parents knew where I was, when it was after midnight or 1am, cause I was usually at work!

When our daughter started looking for colleges last year, it was very hard to find even Catholic schools that did not have some sort of co-ed arrangement! But find one she did, and has been very happy at school this year.
