Coed dorm rooms could be a reality for some UCLA students as soon as next year – but don't expect campus housing to turn into "Real World UCLA" with strangers of different genders being thrown into the same living situation.
The move is intended to better accommodate transgender students, as some other universities already have, including UC Berkeley and Stanford University, said Office of Residential Life director Suzanne Seplow.
She said: 'Given that most of our housing systems are structured under the concept of a binary gender – that there's male or female – for folks that don't fit into those categories, finding housing is challenging.'
