Some 30 universities nationwide, including Montclair State, allow men and women to share suites and even dorm rooms. Drew University students are hoping their school will be next.

I don't really see why there isn't more co-ed options. We're all adults anyway..

I am not so sure about that, Redfish. Some of the college aged people that I knew acted more like 5 year olds instead of adults.

I did not mean it as "in I supported this system", I just meant that a lot of supposedly "mature" people act like children.

You know, my niece is getting ready to graduate from UCSC, and from what I hear the dorms there have co-ed bathrooms, which include showers.  Now that my niece is graduating (she is 22), I trust her judgment, but she hasn't lived in the dorms since she was a freshmen; however, is that appropriate for a 18 or 19 year old?  When I was that age, I can guarantee the things I did were not appropriate (Holy cow, I must be getting old, when did I become a hypocrite?  :angel:).  Hyprocrite or not, I don't think it is appropriate.

Segregation of the sexes is outmoded thought, I look forward to the day when Christian Victorian values are no longer being imposed on a modern society.

There's segregation in non christian society's LostInTime, so I'm not sure
we can blame the Victorian's for all of this.

Though,
that era was probably the height in the seperation of the sexes,
especially amongst the upper crust.
