<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I was wondering whether or not colleges allow you to pick who you want to Coed dorm with. This considering both parties (as in me and my selection) agree to be dorming with one another.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Are you asking if a college with a coed dorm will let you room with a person of the opposite sex? Some schools have that option but most don't. If you live in a coed dorm it usually means that your roomate is the same gender as you but that both genders live in the same building.</p>
<p>If you are asking if you can choose your roommate who is the same gender as you, most colleges will accomodate that if you have both gotten your housing deposits in and have guaranteed housing. You need to contact the housing department of the college to find out for sure.</p>
<p>colleges accomodate guys and girls into the same dorm rooms?</p>
<p>ive never heard of it. the only such instance is off campus housing (apartments or places where kids pay for their own). by co ed i think they mean girls and guys on the same floor/in the same building.</p>

<p>Some do. My school allows you to pick roommates of either gender after freshmen year. You can also opt for gender nuetral housing if you write an explanation of why you want it (normally for gender or sexual identity reasons). </p>
<p>But yeah, for the most part “co-ed” means people of all genders living on a hall (or building), but single sex rooms.</p>
<p>how about co-ed shared rooms? i will get very lonely in college and would like to have some company and solace....</p>
<p>some colleges have it, but not many. and wouldnt a same sex roommate also provide you with company?</p>
<p>^ not the kind of company i would prefer...</p>

<p>Amazingly, it is not that difficult for your different-sex friend to walk a few yards down the hallway, or even to a neighboring dorm, and provide you with "company and solace" (or for you to do the same, for that matter).</p>
<p>out of curiosity, which schools allow this? although i have to agree with jessiehl -- you can just take a quick walk over to the others room, no? -- my assumption was co-ed direct roommates were not allowed in dorm rooms though, but i guess this is wrong...cool! haha</p>
<p>I have read on this forum of a few schools that have co-ed rooms, but I don't remember which ones. You might want to post a seperate thread with a title asking for info on schools that have a co-ed room option.</p>
<p>3365.. idk what kind of company your referring to. and no offense but i think it would be the worst worst idea ever to look for a relationship for even a friends with benefits set up with your opposite sex roommate. however if you just like the opposite sex company better that could be solved by walking right next door or down the hall if you wind up with a same sex roommate. remember roomies arent attached at the hip</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon introduced gender neutral housing that's available to non-freshmen a few years ago. They're apartments that fit 2-5 people and CMU no longer requires all residents to be of the same gender. They let you decide who will share which rooms.</p>
<p>Caltech also has this option for graduate students in the apartments they rent out to a good percentage of the grads, though I don't know many people that share an apartment with someone of the opposite gender (though my current apartmentmate's girlfriend is over here often enough I think she lives here :mad:).</p>
<p>some schools have it for their juniors and seniors</p>
<p>Ah, okay. I guess I misunderstood the meaning of Co-ED dorms.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>Brown allows co-ed by room after freshman year. It is not so much for boyfriend/girlfriend accommodations, though I would guess some of that does happen, but more for the preference of LGBTQ students who might otherwise feel uncomfortable. Here's a link to an article from the Brown Daily Herald about this:</p>
<p>Brown</a> looks to other universities in its discussion of co-ed doubles - Higher Ed</p>
<p>The article mentions that this policy had yet to be approved, at the time of the writing. It was approved.</p>
<p>Brown University
CalTech
Hampshire College
Haverford College
Oberlin College
Stanford University
Swarthmore Colege
Wesleyan University</p>
<p>Here's a 2007 NPR story on the subject:
Colleges</a> Experiment with Gender-Blind Dorms : NPR</p>
<p>Colleges</a> are allowing coed dorm rooms - Education - MSNBC.com</p>
<p>Clark, Penn and Brandeis also... and I think Chicago</p>
<p>I mean, its awkward enough to live with some other dude...</p>
<p>Rooming with a friend-with-benefits is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. What if you actually brought a date back to your room? Jesus.</p>
