<p>can i have a girlfriend from another school sleep over in my dorm room? there are no visitation rules in my college.</p>
<p>Then my guess would be yes. Make sure your roommate is cool with it though.</p>
<p>I would have to guess that it depends on the college, but at most (if not all) non religious based schools, you can. When I was a senior in high school I would regularly sleep over at my ex boyfriend or his best friend's dorm at Ohio State.</p>
<p>^^ yeah, just give your roommate a good heads up beforehand.</p>
<p>To echo tnguyen: Just make sure to tell your roommate ahead of time.</p>
<p>I'm jealous! Males can only visit mine from 10am-2am and absolutely no guests of the opposite sex (It's not religious based--in fact, I've never heard of a college that allowed it). However, people break rules. Once again, be considerate and make sure your roommate is okay with it and it doesn't happen a lot (they are paying for the room too and it's not fair to kick them out all the time).</p>
<p>We can allow one person of the same sex to sleep over at my school, but not of the opposite sex.</p>
<p>From my handbook:</p>
<p>"An overnight guest must be a member of the same sex as the occupant(s) of the room, and must be at least 10 years of age"</p>
<p>if you don't have any visitation rules, then you can have whoever over whenever you want. just try to make sure you work things out with your roommate.</p>
<p>I've actually never heard of non-religious schools that have rules about that...
my school doesn't care at all.</p>
<p>Who pays any attention to visitation rules anyway? I just figured it was something that people would work out amongst their roommates and not based on school rules. I mean, unless you have fascist RAs, it shouldn't make a difference.</p>
<p>or secruity guards with sign in/sign out sheets, but that should be easy to fake anyway</p>
<p>Unless you go to an ultra-conservative college, I can't see this even being an issue. Also, while you should give your roommate a heads up, I'd hope that any normal male would completely empathize with your situation and give you the green light.</p>
<p>At my school, we're allowed to have guests of either gender for up to 3 days at a time. They're pretty lax about it. The expectation is that you check with your roommate to make sure that he or she is okay with it.</p>
<p>This is my school's visitation policy</p>
<p>With the roommates consent, residents may have guests of the same gender stay in their rooms, providing the stay is no longer than three days within a 10-day period and that the guests do not disrupt the normal activities of the floor. Guest rooms are available when space permits. It is recommended that guests be registered with the resident assistant, residential coordinator or the Office of Residence Life. Guests are subject to all University and residence life rules and regulations. Students are responsible for the actions of their guests.</p>
<p>The room visitation policy on designated floors permits men and women students to meet socially in each others residence hall rooms on a limited schedule. Visitation is permitted Sunday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to midnight, and on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. There are also several 24-hour visitation floors available within each residence hall.</p>
<p>Guests must be escorted at all times by a host or hostess who is a resident of the hall.</p>
<p>Do you really think they would be that strict? If so, that sucks because my girlfriend goes to the same college. I just cant see them being so uptight about it. btw my school is affiliated with the methodist church</p>
<p>I've always found schools that rigourosly enforce such rules to be slightly comical. While perhaps college students collectively think they're more mature than they really are, we're at a point in our lives where we should begin to make our own decisions. Having a girl sleep over is likely the least important of those decisions and should not be illegal by any means. </p>
<p>I realize though that this does go against religious beliefs (oh noes! pre-marital relationz!), so unfortunately if a school is heavily affiliated with a particular faith, you're probably SOL.</p>

uhhh... i think like most schools don't really care. o_O OCU's the first that I heard of that's not religious and forbids it (except foreign schools.. they wouldn't let me even enter the guy's dorm during the day)</p>
<p>my school doesn't care, you are suppose to fill out a card, but nobody does it.</p>
<p>I would be ****ed off about my roommate's SO hanging around in my room all the time or sleeping in it alot. or they better start paying the rent too. hahaha (according to my brother. his roommate's gf lived in the other room with him;;;)</p>
<p>turns out looking at my schools policy the student is supposed to "notify residential staff about the guest in case the guest should need to be contacted in an emergency. Guests staying for an extended period of time may be asked to leave"</p>
<p>A lot of the policies are BS. Boston College (and many other schools, I would guess) had a policy saying no co-ed sleepovers. I slept at my BF's a bunch of times and it was never a problem at all. The rule was on the books, but absolutely unenforced.</p>
<p>Most schools have rules against it but most only keep them on the books so if it becomes a problem with your roommate (or anyone else, if you're making a lot of noise or something) they have some basis to tell you to knock it off. Just figure out when your roommate is going home for the weekend or something and do it then, overnight sexiling is bad unless you've got an agreement with someone else in the hall (which is an excellent if awkward to initiate idea.)</p>
<p>If she’s just coming to hang out and sleep over, then your roommate typically won’t care as long as you tell him and don’t disturb him from studying, sleeping, and so forth. If you plan to have sex, though, then either the visits need to be less frequent or you need to alternate between the room and another location every time she visits.</p>
<p>99% of colleges dont care at all.. even religious ones.</p>
<p>i go to BC and on the books it says no opposite sex in the room but noone checks and no one cares. anyone can come and go as they please because theres no sign in system for visitors either. i slept over guys rooms some night and i had guy friends from other schools sleep in my room with no problem.</p>
