University of South Florida: dorms and the opposite sex

<p>My boyfriend and I are planning on attending the University of South Florida starting this Fall. We both want to live on campus, and are going to request to live in the same Residence Halls. What we are wondering is if we can stay in each others dorms at times? Obviously, I know we can't live in the same dorm, we just want to know from other USF students if we are allowed to stay with each other some nights, and if it's up to our roommates, the school, or what? Any answers will be greatly appreciated :)</p>

<p>I only have stayed in NYU dorms, but what I see there is that basically anyone in the building can sleep wherever they are invited to sleep, including their guests. I know of a couple that usually sleep together in the dorms. I’ve slept in other people’s beds who were out of town.</p>

<p>I don’t know USF’s housing policies, but if you’re both living in the same coed dorm, it’s probably possible. Remember to get both of your roommates’ permission before bringing in another person to spend the night. I know such a situation is permitted in most of the dorms at my school and it’d probably be similar at USF.</p>

<p>Also keep in mind the roommate might just be saying it’s ok to try and be a nice roommate even though they’re actually uncomfortable with it. There’s been a ton of threads here with that theme to them.</p>

<p>Guests of the opposite sex are not supposed to stay overnight in USF dorms according to USF officials. Here’s one reason:</p>

<p>I go to UT (tampa) ad got a few friends at USF, you guys can sleep in eachothers dorms as long as you keep it discreet and it doesn’t bother your roommates… and honestly I wouldn’t try sleeping with eachother overnight too much since if it was my roommate I would get really annoyed that he brought a girl into my room every night. So try getting a single if possible or moving off campus i guess if you guys really plan on spending all your nights together</p>

<p>I was at USF a week ago, and I was told you are permitted to allow your guests to stay overnight as long as your roommate agrees, feels comfortable and safe. However, like the article lizard posted, make sure you really know who you are letting spend the night.</p>
