<p>Right now I'm considering UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA, CSU Long Beach, USC, and Cal Poly SLO. I am definitely going to do everything I can to get into the dorms my freshman year. But I was wondering what the general rules are for overnight guests of the opposite sex. At the CSULB residence hall tour, I was told that opposite sex guests were frowned upon but are sometimes approved. Does anybody know the rules at their own university's residence halls or maybe the rules of the above universities? Thanks.</p>
<p>At my school, it is “not allowed” on the books but the enforcement depends on the RA and from personal experience, almost no RA enforce that rule at my school.</p>
<p>as an RA, i’ll tell you that at vanderbilt the “rule” is that the two can’t be asleep in the room overnight. however, i asked my girls “how the hell would i actually know if you are asleep?” so instead of all that, you should just try to be respectful. so if you are having a visitor, maybe just inform your RA and if it is a single sex floor just make sure the guy/girl goes and showers on the boys’/girls’ hall so that no one feels uncomfortable</p>
<p>i go to ucd, and basically u dont have to tell anyone other than ur roommate that u are having a person over. u dont check them in or anything, etc. i received the impression at the other UC tours that this is the way it works there as well.</p>
<p>the technical rule is that during one quarter u can have a guest over for 7 nights max (not necessarily consecutively).</p>
<p>Thanks everybody! If anyone else has any input that’d be great.</p>
<p>At Berkeley no one would notice. I’ve stayed in all guys and all girls dorms there.</p>
<p>Yeah, they don’t care at USC. My friend stays all the time.</p>
<p>The dorms at my school are single sex and there is no policy about overnight visitors, opposite sex or not, but they aren’t supposed to stay for more than 72 hours. The only person you have to tell is your roommate.</p>
<p>At my school, I’m not sure of the policy of ON guests, but they don’t really check and no one would really know anyway so it’s perfectly do-able. The main question here is whether your roomie(s) will allow, not what the school says.</p>
<p>Ditto for another nearby school, although there it’s done much more often I think.</p>
<p>yea i feel like its not like anyone but your roomate is going to check/know… at the moment im in a relationship, but otherwise, i wouldnt exactly care about the rules like that… i dont see anyone enforcing them…</p>
