Charlie Barlow plans to room with one of his best friends next semester at the University of Chicago: Lauren "Lulu'' Danzig.
The two are among 50 students who will take advantage of a new policy allowing male and female undergraduates to room together -- something that was forbidden throughout the 117-year history of the Hyde Park school.

Guess the abortion business is down?
This is awful. They make it so easy for them. Moral boundaries are almost nonexistent.
Sanctioning what has already been going on for 40 years
since both sexes have been living on the same dorm floors, sharing bathrooms, and going and coming as they please for more than two generations, this appears to be a distinction without a difference
Fella's clearly a homo.
I wouldn't mind rooming with her.
I don’t see what the big deal is, it’s not as if they’re forcing males and females to room together. This is only if two people of the opposite sex insist on being roommates, the university allows it whereas before it didn’t.
Dogs, cats, and sheep run screaming in terror when they show up.

This girls parents must be so proud
Cohabitation isn't “allowed” so GF and BF shack up in GF’s or BF’s dorm room every night; much to the chagrin of the roommate who now has to share a small place with TWO people who do naughty things to each other.
This happened to me in the USAF. Except they didn't alternate, it was my dorm room every night. They got married and had to wait a month for off campus housing, so I was defacto living with newlyweds with my bed not ten feet from theirs.
Harry Burns: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sally Albright: Why not?
Harry Burns: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally Albright: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: You only think you do.
Sally Albright: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry Burns: No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: How do you know?
Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally Albright: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally Albright: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry Burns: I guess not.
Sally Albright: That's too bad. You were the only person I knew in New York.
As far as I’m aware, the vast majority of college students are over the age of 18. These folks are adults and should be treated as such. I think it’s high time we quit coddling our “children” and dragging out childhood. If they’re not mature enough to be out on their own, then they probably shouldn’t be going off to college. Maybe a few years in the military will make men and women out of them.
Yep, she is definately at no risk. Maybe she can help him with his eyebrows.
This girls parents must be so proud"
Actually, I bet they are -- because they view their daughter as a "trendsetter."
This type of behavior starts young. I'd wager that her parents bought the gal her first contraception at age 14 and started letting her boyfriend spend the night soon thereafter. All under the guise of, "At least it's supervised and happening under our own roof."
We live in suburban San Diego, a pretty conservative town, and you'd be amazed how often I hear parents talk like that.
Total loss of moral compass. Sheesh.
I agree wholeheartedly. Except for the wrongheaded (IMHO) prohibition on drinking alcohol, eighteen year-olds are legal adults in all aspects of the law. We used to treat them as such. Now we've allowed adolescence to extend well into our 20s and 30s.
At any rate, many of these 18 year-old freshman are going to learn quickly that co-ed dorm rooms aren't all they were cracked up to be. Nonetheless, they're adults and free to make their own decisions. If their parents don't want to foot the bill, that's up to them, not me.
Yeah, unfortunately I had some of those experiences, too.
This is going to put a crimp in the lifestyle of a lot of beer-swilling college males, as their 1st semester girlfriends want to set up house in the dorm for the 2nd semester as a sign of his “love.”
Keep them away from the Baby Factories and the Abrtion Mills.
