<p>I just went over through the URichmond website and saw that there are no co-ed dorms. My question is- are males and females even separated in classes? I have gone to a single sex school my whole life and would really like to go to a co-ed college. I love URichmond but this gender-based segragation is really ticking me off. </p>
<p>Do men and women interact on campus at all? Is it possible to get into a relationship?</p>
<p>My daughter is starting Richmond later this month so I’m no expert but do have some information to share. Classes are completely coeducational as are the dining halls etc. Just separate dorms and I think there is even a co-ed dorm coming in.</p>
<p>Stop worrying, please, it’s really a waste of energy 
We actually do have one co-ed dorm, Lakeview, which houses mainly sophomore living and learning programs right now (I think, but who lives where is continually changing now that they are renovating the older dorms). The only real difference in the dorms is that most of the people in your dorm will be your gender, and (most of the time/day), bathrooms are delightfully single-sex. Guys visit all the time, stay over, walk through, etc. Definitely not segregated. For girls, at least, it makes for a much nicer smelling environment. Boys can just be…ick. </p>
<p>And everything else (well, aside from sports, I guess? There are the usual M/F teams and all that jazz, but that certainly shouldn’t be a surprise. Oh, and sororities/frats) are coed. Classes and extracurricular and clubs and societies are all mixed. Guys are everywhere. Girls are everywhere. We intermix, intermingle. Date. Party. Get engaged, occasionally.</p>
<p>So, calm down. Keep loving UR. I love it!</p>
<p>Just thought I would throw in that there are 2 other co-ed dorms - Gray Court (starting this year) and Keller Hall.</p>
<p>We toured last spring and I thought I remembered the guide saying the reason the dorms are not co-ed is because the Board of Trustees won’t allow it. So I suppose that is changing now?!</p>

<p>Yes, we knew about the houses for global and living and learning. I was referring to the regular dormitories. They are all separated by gender. Actually, I am glad to see that has not changed.</p>
<p>Bigeastfan, as I mentioned in my post above, and this is not reflected in the list nysmile copied and pasted - this coming academic year, 09-10, Gray Court, which is a suite-style dorm, is co-ed and has pretty much an equal number of men and women living in it. And it is a regular dorm.</p>
<p>Big Cheese, sorry about your previous bad single-sex school experiences. Nothing like that goes on at UR. You’ll have to go to BYU , ORU or similar colleges to find something like that occurring anywhere, much less UR.
My sophomore daughter is moving into a co-ed dorm (Gray) in two weeks.
In addition to the posts above, I hope this conclusively answers your question.</p>
<p>URichmond2010,
I thought Gray Court is a Coed dorm too?</p>
<p>TheNewHans: </p>
<p>It is, starting this year.</p>

<p>I guess the U of R Website has not updated that piece of information yet.</p>
<p>There is no separation except in the dorms.</p>
<p>^^^ And student government, and the dean’s offices.</p>
<p>IT is really a win win. The student governments are divided by men (Richmond) and women (Westhampton) and it really allows and promotes leadership within the two “colleges”. To understand it completely, you really need to read it on the website.</p>
