DISCUSS: UT dorm rooms may soon go 'co-ed'

Ah, I don't think they will be putting the sexes together unless they specifically REQUEST it. If you and your significant other want to room together and are both paying for the dorm, you can do it. They WON'T be assigning you an opposite sex room mate unless you REQUEST it.

On this one I like what Erma Bombeck said on one of her calendars in the late 1980s or 1990s: House Rules for Grown Kids "There will be no sleeping in the same room with a member of the opposite sex to whom you are not presently married!"

A case-by-case basis I think is the best way to deal with this. There are some girls I know it would be either irresponsible or downright annoying as hell to room with, but there are others who are my good friends with whom I would never in a million years dream of anything more than space and boundaries that strictly exclude any type of physical intimacy. My first [five hundred] roommate choices would be guys, but I don't see RESPONSIBLE co-ed living as an issue. It just requires a TON of self control. If approved, the ResLife system would have to be wise in granting co-ed rooms to only responsible, reasonable applicants, or else the humorous conjectures of many ("dorms rooms will become baby-making machines", etc.) will indeed come true in what was recently listed as the "Most Sexually Liberated College in America."

Public education, sexual indoctrination, from grade school to graduation. No wonder liberals like Sandra "Easy" Fluke want free birth control. Class in the morning, spread 'em in the evening.

and even with same gender rooms, I still showed my kids the Registered Sex Offender Database of how many of those convicts live right by UTSA, there are several right by the dorms over there, it isn't just roommates to watch out for, neighbors who don't even go to the schools are closeby and you never know who some of them are, there are weirdos everywhere if you look at the Database (in Zip Code Map View!!)

I would be doubtful and hesitant. On the other hand, Prince William and Kate shared a college dorm room with a few others, but their dorms were probably extremely expensive which keeps out a lot of the riff raff. I would not want my kid sharing a dorm room with the opposite gender unless they were married, because unexpected pregnancies happen often enough, don't need more encouragement.
