<p>What is the policy on overnight guests of opposite gender? i know a lot of catholic/christian schools have strict policies against this, so if anyone knows what BC’s policy is that would be great!</p>
<p>For guests of the opposite sex, you’re supposed to have them “hosted” by one of your friends of the opposite sex during the night. If you’re a guy, your girl visitor would sleep in the room of another girl. And vice versa.</p>
<p>Honestly, these policies are not strictly enforced. RA’s aren’t gonna come knockin’ down your door unless you give them a reason to (being too loud during quiet hours, etc.)</p>
<p>Hope this helps!!</p>
<p>There is no time that members of the opposite sex have to be out of your room, unlike some schools. So, technically it’s perfectly fine to have a member of the opposite sex in your room all night, you’re just not supposed to sleep. Can this be enforced? Not really, it’s just something they felt obliged to add to the rules.</p>
<p>Policy is in writing that no friends of the opposite sex may stay. Even a brother staying with his sister on a visit is prohibited officially. It is hardly ever enforced. It’s not like Providence College, for instance, where the policy is fairly strict. </p>
<p>That said, there are cases where it MUST be enforced, for instance, if you have your boyfriend stay over, and he lives on Newton campus but he decides it’s much easier to just stay in your room several nights a week, and it becomes uncomfortable and intrusive to your roommate, who has every right to not have to deal with your boyfriend sitting around the room in his ripped underwear clipping his toenails and watching ESPN Sports Center while she’s trying to get ready for class. In that case, you should expect that you’ll have to deal with someone in the chain of command and you’ll likely be put on notice (maybe even written up) unless you work it out and do things right. </p>
<p>The basic rule here is like that of life in general: don’t act like an asshat and you’ll be ok.</p>
