What are the disadvantages of a co-ed dorm?
The disadvantages of a co-ed dorm are that sometimes when you are dealing with convenience hook-ups - and a convenience hook-up is like a convenience store, there's someone who is down the hall and you shop on your floor or at another floor - you have a relationship and then things go bad, and then you have an ex living a few doors down. It becomes very inconvenient. That's the big thing that you don't want to have. The other thing is sometimes safety issues. Some people are just not comfortable living with a woman on their floor. There are a lot of guys that say "I don't want a woman living on my floor. What if she wants to hang out with me, that's scary." There's also women who don't like hanging out with guys on their floor because sometimes there can be an unsafe situation. When you are in a co-ed living situation, sometimes people can be uncomfortable, and that's why there are single sex dorms available.
