<p>Hi, I am a Psych transfer to UCLA. I am dorming in residential hall. I am sharing room with 2 other people. Will I have any privacy in dorms? Are my roommates going to be having sex in my room while I am trying to study? Are they allowed to have sex? I mistakingly marked that I dont mind people having friends overnight on my application. Does that mean I am going to be hearing the beds squeaking every night?</p>
<p>join them if they do it</p>
<p>Can’t you just ask them to not have sex while you’re around? Just threaten to join in or watch intensely if they don’t comply. You could also go study somewhere else.</p>
<p>does it even happen really? i would rather not have to ask them, i mean i noted that i would not mind.</p>
<p>You noted that you wouldn’t mind friends staying over the night, not that you wouldn’t mind kids having sex. The thing is, there’s a chance for it to happen regardless of whatever you check, and chances are it’s probably not even that common. I mean I checked that I wouldn’t mind people staying over, but I figured that was like just people sleeping on the floor or whatever. Maybe I’m naiive, but I doubt anybody is just going to suddenly have sex without some consensus established.</p>
<p>This is funny…</p>
<p>Yeah, Most likely people would not want to have sex if there’s someone else around, unless they’re just weird. There might be people having sex in the room next to you, but not IN the room WITH you. Unless they’re THAT open about their sexuality…</p>
<p>One of my friends had a roommate who would have sex in the same room (without a prearranged agreement or anything of the sort). Granted that was on the east coast though, and they’re all crazy over there. But anyway, good luck on that not happening to you ;)</p>
<p>Rofl… I also heard that.</p>
<p>Although people do find it risky and “fun” to have sex in public… perhaps doing it while your roommate is fast asleep would be… haha I’m just kidding. But I have a single, so who cares.</p>
<p>0:]</p>
<p>This more has something to do with your roommate’s girlfriend sleeping over for the night than a one night stand. Just leave for half an hour and come back so you’re never around when they are at it.</p>
<p>i think it all really depends. most people (and i say most because there are the select few that do not feel this way) will say something to you before their significant other comes over. but there is a chance your roomate will do the dirty while you are in the room. its college it will probably happen. just let them know youd like a heads up next time. unless you get a nightmare roomate…</p>
<p>would it be fair to my roommate to force them to leave? i mean i know its college and people are going to be having sex. if they cant do it in their bedroom then where are they going to do it? in the halls?</p>
<p>Campus is huge. And there are restrooms everywhere. So they should be fine!</p>
<p>@musicalbruin… the big things (like two (or three?) people who aren’t you having sex in the room while you’re in it…) aren’t going to annoy you. the inescapable idiosyncrasies that come with your new roommates, however, will. then again, unless you’re particularly unlucky, i don’t imagine that you’ll have a hard time getting past them…
breathe.
don’t trip.
try to look forward to it, because no matter how much research you do, or how many people you grill, it’ll surely be very little like how you imagined it would be, in what we can all only hope will be the best way possible.</p>

<p>jimmy page is to guitar as stonehenge is to construction.</p>
<p>they have sound proof music rooms…just saying.</p>
<p>but really like pinker said it probably wont be how you imagined it to be. you have to fill out a contract with your roomate when you both move in and you can talk to them then about privacy. i wouldn’t be too worried about it.</p>
