Odd Couple: Poster Children for Coed Dorm Rooms
See...Garcia and Youngdahl can do work together. Aww...look at the Russian Studies geeks. These kids are rooming together on the Oberlin campus. Coed bathrooms have been around for much longer, and no one seems to be complaining. This guy could be your roommate ladies! We can do it!

Cue the theme music, one of these things is not like the other (and we mean their genitalia). Two Wesleyan students make headlines for the new college residence option of the coed dorm room.

Michelle Garcia and Erik Youngdahl from Wesleyan University are making headlines from MSNBC to The Associated Press, and not because they were busted for coke dealing or for smoking pot from a skull, instead they are female and male roommates on campus. 

The pair, Garcia and Youngdahl, decided they would rather live together than with anyone else; the students have a mature relationship based on "trust."

To me this isn't a complete shock, there are coed bathrooms, and to be even more honest I would rather live with some of my male acquaintances over some scum sucking females I know. Garcia even admits to being the messy one of the two (and I know some neurotic-neat freak males... who aren't homosexual).

Schools On The Coed Room List

1. University of Pennsylvania
2. Oberlin College
3. Swarthmore
4. UC- Riverside
5. Wesleyan
6. Haverford College
7. Tufts University
8. Clark University
9. Carnegie Mellon
10. Brown University

Again, the media buzz is cool, but schools have been doing this for awhile. **Rolls eyes** I know maturity is an issue, but if mommy and daddy are worried about the sex issue... get over it, they're doing it already, and they probably did it on your bed!

Unless you count a few of the apartment dorms at Tufts that are co-ed
