Dorm life - Coed or Single?

<p>Are Coed dorms better or single sex dorms better for girls?</p>

<p>do u mean coed rooming (like one roomate male one female) or do you mean coed floors? the first can lead to problems but the latter isn't a problem</p>

<p>I dont know any dorms that will allow coed roommates. If you mean both sexes on the same floor, thats only your decision. If you dont feel comfortable walking down the hall from the shower with guys passing by, go for single sex.</p>

<p>Co-Ed. In my floor its separated by wing so you don't have to worry about guys using your bathroom or anything. Its more fun with guys on the floor, either way it doesn't really matter too much to me. Last year I was on an all girls floor but guys were on the floor above me and it doesnt seem that different.</p>

<p>I meant coed floor/building. How about single sex dorm building? is there such a thing?</p>

<p>there are single sex and coed buildings at most places. some are coed by floor-boys on odd #, girls on even # for example. some are coed by room--boys and girls on same floor (different rooms) and have different bathroom areas. i live in a building that's coed by floor and its great. when there's too much 'girl drama' on my floor i can go to a male floor and hang out and relax. some people like the single sex buildings but i wouldnt be able to handle it.</p>

<p>I live in a single sex dorm (btw I'm female) because my parents are extremely strict. It's not all that bad, it's like a mini sorrority (without the money..and very little drama)</p>

<p>I'm in a coed floor, it's really not a big deal either way. No different from having to walk by your brother's room to get to the shower at home.</p>

<p>I'm on a co-ed floor and was last year as well. Not a big deal at all. I'm not anymore uncomfortable than I would be on an all girl's floor</p>

<p>I'm in a single-sex building. I didn't really have a choice, since my school doesn't have any other options, but I happen to like it. Its nice to be able to walk down the hall in a towel to the shower, which I wouldn't feel comfortable doing in a co-ed hall. Also, as smurfette mentioned, I think being in a single-sex dorm does create a sorority-like atmosphere. I also like the fact that I can go over to the guys' dorms for parties and whatever on the weekends, and come back to my nice, clean, quiet dorm whenever I want to. :)</p>

<p>My school last year offered all types of rooming options, including coed rooms. I lived in a co-ed dorm with a roomate of the same sex and it was fine. I loved having both guys and girls on my floor.</p>

<p>I'm in a mixed sex building and floor and I would much rather be in an all-girl floor, but that's just what I'm more comfortable around. My school doesn't have that option though, so I will always be in a co-ed floor.</p>

<p>I loved being in a coed dorm (every other room was either guys or girls), it was nice to have all of my friends in the dorm, instead of just being surrounded by girls.</p>

<p>i'm on a single sex floor and i hate it. it's quieter and more antisocial than any other floor in the building (which are all coed), even the quiet/substance free floor, so it's been hard to make friends.</p>

<p>i live in a single sex dorm (male) at notre dame. i wouldnt have it any other way.</p>

<p>i'm on a coed floor, more guys than us girls. it's great. :)</p>

<p>wow I guess it really depends on personal preference/ what the dorm setting is actually like... another question, how are the dorm showers like? Is it like the shower at home or a big room where everyone shower together? (like concentration camps... lol)</p>

<p>lol I've never seen the showers where everyone showers together besides maybe locker rooms.. I think most colleges don't treat students like that. i've just seen normal showers with curtains in front of them</p>

<p>I like coed, plus the dorm I'm in has suite-style rooms (two rooms sharing a bathroom), so I don't have to worry about walking around the hallway in my towel...lol.</p>

<p>I am unaware of the existence of coed rooms.</p>
