What exactly does gender-inclusive housing entail?

surely it is not rooming with someone of the opposite gender!?

Probably means you can request a room/dorm based on gender identity vs biological gender at birth

I ssee!

There are schools where students can request opposite gender roommates, although that might only be for upperclassmen, I am not sure. Tulane is not one of them as far as I know.

there was an option to request gender inclusive housing on the application, so I was just curious!

At Tulane it means you will get a single- Gender Neutral room.
