What are the advantages of a co-ed dorm?
With a Co-ed dorm there's this thing I call “the convenience hook-up”. It's one of the fifteen forms of the college hook-up. It's cool because it's like a convenience store. You just walk down the hall and it's like “hello love” - and it's there sometimes. But it's all good until things go bad. And then you could get in a lot of trouble because your ex is living a couple of doors down. So the relationship part of it, that's one thing that's cool. That's a positive. It's nice to meet people of different genders. It's interesting. People who bring different things to the table, not just their anatomy but their points of view. How often do you get to live in a hall and sometimes someone is right next door to you but it's someone of the opposite sex. Now there are even co-ed rooms in some colleges now. That I think is a bit ridiculous because you don't need to live with someone. If you are dating them, you can live apart and see how that works. You'll spend the rest of your life living together. But when it comes to living down the hall, there are some positives to that.
