<p>My boyfriend lives out of town and I would like it if he would be able to stay a few weekends with me this semester but I was unsure if he would be allowed to since Kinsolving (my residence hall) is all female. Does anyone know/have experiences with members of the opposite sex staying over in this dorm?</p>
<p>Also, what is the cheapest weekend parking option on campus for someone who is not a student?</p>
<p>Opposite-sex overnight guests aren’t allowed, but if your roommate will be fine with it, it’s not like it’s too difficult to get away with…</p>
<p>Although it may be easy to get a way with, if you don’t get away with it could be an honor code violation. Second, even though roommates may at times “agree” with you having a male overnight guest, is it really worth it to tarnish your roommate relationship? Your roommate may have specifically requested KS because she didn’t want that type of company. JMO</p>
<p>^ That last point.</p>
<p>You would also be putting your roommate in an incomfortable, unfair position. “Do I put up with this or rat my roommate out?” Ugh. If I were the roommate, I would be royally annoyed (avoiding swearing filter!).</p>
<p>It’s totally easy to get away with. Just learn the ins and outs of people that aren’t uptight snots.</p>
<p>This is why I don’t live on campus anymore. You graduate high school, you’re at least 18, your parents have let you go on to freedom, but you still have rules like this? No, no, no. </p>
<p>This isn’t the conservatie 60s anymore. Bring them before 11pm and it won’t be too big of a deal. And yeah, at least if you do have a roommate - make sure she’s cool with it. Maybe wager that he’s JUST sleeping over - nothing else. You know.</p>
<p>It doesn’t have anything to do with “uptight snots.” It has do with the contract you signed to live in Kinsolving. You will be breaking the rules, and there will be consequences if you are caught.</p>
<p>Being an adult actually means following the rules, not trying to get away with breaking them.</p>
<p>Yeah, by choosing to live there you do agree to those rules. </p>
<p>I would vote to abolish that rule if I could. I choose to live where there not rules like that. I abide to the absence of them. haha. </p>
<p>I have encountered a many - quoting myself - ‘‘uptight snots’’ working the desk. The kind of people that are rude and condescending. Having an opposite sex guest over should be an adult making decision. Silly housing rules. </p>
<p>Just like the window policies. </p>
<p>The more rules, the more control.</p>
<p>I don’t agree with it.</p>
<p>I would suggest renting an off-campus apartment if you don’t agree with those rules.</p>
<p>Oh I already share a house. I’m a former on-campus resident. It was good for a while.</p>
<p>If anyone wanted to hear my opinion:</p>
<p>Sure, adults are supposed to be able to do whatever they want – but when you live in a tight community like the dorms, you have to do your part to make sure that the other residents aren’t disturbed by your actions. That’s why DHFS bans certain activities. For example, I hate it when people are yelling in the hallways in the middle of the night. You might think that your actions aren’t affecting other people (like having an opposite gender guest overnight), but in some way, it disrupts life in the dorms. Also, the dorms are supposed to be housing for academic students – not just plain adults. The dorms are part of the school. You shouldn’t be doing things in the dorms that you wouldn’t do in an academic building.</p>
<p>Duly noted. ;)</p>
<p>Yes. This should be noted by everyone when they sign contracts and know what they’re getting into. </p>
<p>Like where I live (dubstep @ 3am sometimes, but no desk attendant. beer and co-ed, but security cameras watching our entrance and parking lot).</p>
<p>Everywhere has pros and cons.</p>
