Are college roommate assignments in this enlightened age sex indifferent/neutral, or do students wishing to have a roommate of their opposite sex get to make their own personal selections?

There are some colleges which do allow opposite sex roommates. May be hard to believe, but we went from co-ed dorms where the individual rooms had residents only of the same sex, to now saying that the sex of roommates doesn’t matter.

And, have heard that some of these students say that, just because you have opposite sex roommates, it doesn’t mean that somebody is having a sexual relationship, and that we shouldn’t jump to those conclusions.

Bottom line is that these young people in these colleges and dorms think the older generation has too many “hang-ups” about these living arrangements.

It’s hard to believe that there was a time when dorms were stricly segregated by sex, and that there were strict limits on visitation by the opposite sex in the dorms.
