<p>I know that housing at Rice consists of co-ed residential colleges, but I can't seem to find information about just how much is co-ed. Are there any single-sex floors or wings in any of these colleges? Are bathrooms co-ed? If there are some single-sex options, are requests for those options generally honored? Thank you for information.</p>
<p>There are no single-sex floors at Rice. There are suites at Lovett and Hanszen that open up directly onto a stairwell, so for all intents and purposes those are single-sex floors, although I know that at Lovett only upperclassmen live in those rooms. The only way to have a coed bathroom at Rice is if, as an upperclassmen, you opt to live in a suite with members of the opposite sex.</p>
<p>I feel like I should know this already, as I will be attending in the fall… Are all of the colleges suite-style? No community bathrooms?</p>
<p>Several colleges have community bathrooms - the only all-suite style colleges are Martel, Wiess, and Lovett, though many colleges have portions with suites (which primarily go to upperclassmen).</p>
<p>Sid’s also entirely suites. I guess Duncan and McMurtry kind of are, except that you have to walk across a hallway to get to your suite’s bathroom? I dunno, I didn’t really spend any sizable amount of time in those colleges.</p>
<p>Some rooms in McM and Duncan have attached bathrooms. It really depends on floorplans.</p>
<p>For exclusively single-sex housing, you need to live off campus.</p>
<p>All freshmen at Duncan and McM are put into doubles which have their own bathrooms. There are open and closed 6-man suites for upperclassmen.</p>
