<p>I'm sorry I feel like this is a dumb question but still... I am going to Smith next year as a transfer student and I'm very excited. Last my my boyfriend and I would visit each other at our colleges. Would he be allowed to visit me at Smith and stay with me overnight or would he have to find other accommodation?</p>
<p>It’s up to you and your roommate to discuss and decide that, but most people are fine with it if you give them enough warning.</p>
<p>and since you are transferring, you are likely to be a sophomore or above and therefore very likely to have a single. Different houses have different policies about what bathrooms are for women only vs. co-ed but they’ll make that clear so he doesn’t make anyone uncomfortable when taking a shower or something.</p>
<p>Three of my closest friends, including my roommate, have boyfriends and they’ve never had issues with them visiting. My roommate tends to have her boyfriend visit when I’m not going to be there anyway (like fall break) but when I am here I just crash on another friend’s floor for the night. A lot of people either do that or just have their roommate sleep in the room as long as everyone’s comfortable with it - I personally prefer to sleep somewhere else but my roommate wouldn’t mind if I slept in the room if I wanted to. If you have a roommate you’ll just have to work out what each of you is comfortable with so that there are no surprises, but if you have a single you can do as you please. It’s an expected courtesy that you let your housemates/floormates know when he will visit so that they aren’t surprised by seeing a male in the bathroom, but you don’t need to get special permission from reslife or anything like that, unless he’s staying longer than a certain amount of days (I forget what the limit is but you can easily find out).</p>
