Coed roommates: A new take on campus living

"It wasn't that long ago that house mothers vetted male visitors in the "beau room" of sororities and all-female residence halls. Then came coed dorms, coed floors and even coed restrooms, where horrified parents who stopped to powder their noses on dormitory move-in day discovered urinals next to the tampon dispensers.
Stanford University will allow male and female friends to share dorm rooms this fall. So will the University of California at Santa Cruz. Harvard is considering it for 2009. And it's old news at Brown, Dartmouth, the University of California at Riverside and more than 20 other universities, where upperclassmen have been able to request coed living quarters for several years. It may not raise eyebrows among seasoned collegians, but it's taken more than a few new families by surprise."
