<p>I personally wouldn’t want to share a room with a guy, but co-ed housing is fine. :)</p>
<p>I think sharing a room would be very awkward a lot of times.</p>
<p>^ Oh Co-Ed ROOM?</p>
<p>that’s different, well, the colleges I’ve visited are Co-ED dorms, is like each floor has a gender, usually top floors are female, bottom ones male.
And each floor has their own bathroom, kitchen, etc.</p>
<p>But Co-Ed Rooms, well, that’s different, I wouldn’t want to have one even in a relationship, it’s just um… not my thing</p>
<p>^ it’s called reading the thread title</p>
<p>^ Excuse my mistake</p>
<p>I probably wouldn’t…Unless the guy was a really close friend of mine. That would be different. But some random guy? I think not. Best living situation though would be apartment style with me, and a bunch of friends, preferably a mix of guys and girls. I can’t stand girls girls girls all the time!</p>

<p>Roommates of Co-ed rooms are not randomly assigned. Students usually pick their roommates after the first year. Your best friend is the opposite sex of you in this case. There are some newspaper articles about the topics. None of those roommates involved have had sex after many months.</p>
<p>It is just not as erotic as it sounds.</p>
<p>ummm actually yea, id love to live in the same room with a hot girl…who wouldnt?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I never said it sounded erotic. I just wouldn’t want to live with some random guy. On the same floor? Sure. In the same room? No.</p>
<p>I go to a school that allows this. I personally wouldn’t want a co-ed one-room double, but I definitely considered a co-ed two room double (where each person has their own room, but they are connected, so you have to go through one room to get to the other). And actually, going into sophomore year, I encouraged my boyfriend to consider a co-ed two-room double with a good mutual female friend (we all ended up in singles, though).</p>
<p>Note that my and my boyfriend most certainly were NOT going to room together. It’s just a bad idea.</p>
<p>In general, everyone I know has had a good experience with this. Of course, I only know one couple who risked it. Fortunately for them, they made it through the year quite well, though they broke up early the next semester…good thing they had separate rooms by that point! Most people doing this are good platonic friends, or GLBT.</p>
<p>To SingDanceRunLife: yeah, this definitely is not randomly assigned! For us, it’s only allowed after Freshmen year, when you pick your housing group (if someone is transgendered or transexual, they can note that on their housing form Freshmen year, and accommodations are made if they want them). The school just literally lets you pair up with whoever you want, no questions asked. Of course, after sophomore year it’s basically all apartments and houses anyway.</p>
<p>I’d do it if I was friends with the guy, but never if I was in a relationship or if I had any kind of feelings for him.
Imagine moving in thinking ‘This is my chance for him to see how good we’d be together’ then having to be there while he brought back girls and well, you know.</p>
<p>I can see why, in certain circumstances, this would make complete sense. I think it’s a good idea for colleges to make this option available.</p>
<p>I’m a female in a coed room at college in Scotland with a guy I’m not romantically involved with because I like male company. I’m cool with it, he’s cool with it and my b/f is cool with it.</p>
<p>There are some embarassing moments - especially at first - but it’s no big deal.</p>
<p>I’m hoping to spend a year in the the US before I finish my studies and would love to share a coed room with a US guy.</p>
