<p>People are going to say "it depends", but really...18-22 year olds living on their own for the first time with plenty of attractive members of the opposite (or same!) sex around. You do the math.</p>
<p>Leaving while your roommate has sex? Now that must be a conservative school!</p>
<p>Jack4640 - are you joking or simply literarily ignorant?</p>

<p>Unbelievable. What on Earth could they be doing while having sex that they could be heard from across the room?</p>
<p>Hey... it happens Sanjenferrer, one of my roommate's girls thought she was a pornstar or something, I could hear her through the freaking wall.</p>
<p>^ lol .</p>
<p>You may want to consider having your S talk to your D. He can give her a more accurate picture. If she is uncomfortable with what she hears then she should factor it in to her college search. Schools with quiet dorms, sub free dorms or all female dorms may decrease the incidence of the behaviors your describe though I doubt they eliminate them all together.</p>
<p>Your goal should be to try to make sure that she is smart about her choices; that she avoids putting herself in positions she will regret later, and that she is armed with the ability to discuss issues related to roommates, sex and partying before she is confronted with them.</p>
<p>My DDs have not dated yet, and so far they don't drink. Rather than send them out into college assuming they will maintain their current lifestyle choices we have talked and will continue to talk about what to do if they are in X situation.</p>
<p>BTW re sex in the showers, there are signs in the Santa Clara dorm bathrooms asking people to take their showers alone.</p>
