<p>I'm looking for colleges that offer same sex dorms, but can't seem to find a list. Anybody know where I can find that information?</p>
<p>I’ve heard of same-sex floors, but not an entire dorm. All dorms have same-sex floors anyway, along with co-ed floors (and on co-ed floors, I’m pretty sure female and male students have their own separate community showers). </p>
<p>Any reason why you want an entire dorm to be geared towards one sex and not just a same-sex floor?</p>
<p>I know Notre Dame does - probably other Jesuit/religious colleges do. Many schools do not have any same sex floors and some have gender neutral shower/bathrooms (meaning both sexes use the same ones - Drew for example has this). Just picked this out of a WSJ article “More than 90% of college housing is now co-ed”</p>
<p>I wasn’t aware that it was so unusual, but Carnegie Mellon offers same sex buildings, floors, wings, apartments, and gender neutral housing.</p>
<p>Freshman year I lived in a co-ed by wing and didn’t really find it a whole lot different than my single sex dorm sophomore year (well, I guess I didn’t find a random pair of panties in my laundry sophomore year).</p>
<p>Flagler College and Florida Southern College have same-sex dorms.</p>
<p>Berkeley has one all-male and one all-female dorm, along with many co-ed dorms. In the co-ed dorms, the suite-style dorms have single-gender suites, each with its own bathroom, while the non-suite dorms have co-ed floors with co-ed bathrooms, though during room assignment, they may assign rooms to create single-gender floors if there are requests for such.</p>
<p>The single-gender dorms and single-gender floors in the co-ed dorms did not seem all that popular decades ago, and probably are not all that popular now.</p>
<p>Most colleges are getting rid of the same sex dorms and floors because people generally prefer co-ed. I know my school has co-ed everything, and the only difference is the suites we get (Freshman get suites as well, no singling out anyone) are shared with the room next door is always the same sex (probably for obvious reasons) although if you go to the community style dorm (only one, and only for juniors and seniors due to ages 21+) they don’t tell you that you can’t go in the girls bathroom if you’re a boy.</p>
<p>My school has same sex floors everywhere on campus, and in the specific area that I live in there is one female-only dorm. It’s relatively difficult to find same-sex dorms unless you go to a small private religious school.</p>
<p>The large public state school I will be going to next fall actually has something like 3 all-female dorms and 2 all-male dorms. They are a bit older than the co-ed dorms – one of the female dorms is the oldest residence hall west of the Mississippi, which is kind of cool. They’re popular with people interested in joining fraternities and sororities.</p>
<p>I go to Purdue and we have one all male and one all female dorm (the men’s dorm is one of the largest all male dorms in the country). Most of the other dorms are 2 wings, one for guys one for girls so the only area they share is the lobby, game rooms, etc. There’s only a couple places that are co-ed and those are all apartment style.</p>
<p>Clemson’s freshman dorms are same-sex. Although I have heard they are changing this policy to same-sex floors.</p>
<p>Upperclassmen dorms are same-sex by floor.</p>
<p>UT Austin has two all-female dorms (one is only for freshman (honors?)) and one all-male dorm. There is another, private all-female dorm off campus. The rest of the dorms are a mix of male and females on the same floor with bathrooms for each gender.</p>
<p>Are you a girl? Consider going to an all girls college</p>
<p>Umich has three all female dorms that I highly recommend, but no all male dorms. I loved my all female dorm so much that in hindsight I wish I’d considered an all girls school, and having been “one of the boys” in HS I would never have expected that.</p>
<p>If you are open to a single sex floor vs an entire building, you could probably find what you want by just checking at the different colleges you are interested in-- they are VERY common. Entire buildings are becoming less so but there are still many schools that have them.</p>
<p>Something to consider would be the different rules of each individual single sex dorm. The one that I lived in had NO special rules, males could visit at all hours, it wasn’t substance free, etc. One of the other all female dorms on campus had strict visiting hours. Most people would prefer one or the other, so it’s important to make sure you’re actually getting the environment you’re looking for with a particular dorm. Not all same sex dorms are the same.</p>
<p>Univ. of South Carolina has some single sex dorms…mostly traditional suite or hall bath ones. One of newest plus the womens’ quad that’s getting redone this next year are all girls. There is at least one all guy dorm. Most new suite or apartment style dorms are by unit. Washington and Lee freshmen dorms are single sex by floor.</p>
<p>Baylor. Azusa. Religously affiliated schools more commonly have this. We also found that southern schools are generally more conservative. For example, some western LAC’s commonly have “gender neutral” bathrooms, not common in the south. This is in our experience, which isn’t huge.</p>
