Universities once made it nearly impossible for people of the opposite sex to spend more than eight hours in one room, let alone co-habitate. I remember the pain and process I had to go through as a freshman just to get a guy into my all girls dorm, and that was just during the day, I never attempted the hassle during the night. I guess those were the old days, old days meaning a mere seven years ago.

Today, many colleges are allowing guys and girls to live together. Yes, in the same dorm room. Could you imagine?

I’m a liberal, open-minded person, actually I’m extremely liberal, but come on! How can you expect an 18-year-old kid to be able to coexist with someone of the opposite sex in the same room? I don’t care if they are best friends, it will eventually lead to sex, it always does.

This coed dorm living situation could be doable once the student is a junior or senior, perhaps, but not as a freshman. I can just see all those “I’m so in love with my high school sweetheart” people who continue dating when they go off to college. Letting them live together would be an awful idea.

College is difficult enough as a freshman, moving away from home, making new friends, trying to pass classes, partying, and living on your own. The last thing that needs thrown into the mix is living with a possible lover because when things blow up (which they will) you now are stuck living with that person for the rest of the semester.
