Rutgers University to allow co-ed dorm rooms | NJ.com
Interesting, hadn't thought much about it before even though I have a son and a daughter in college now. She is living away from home in school.
It will only be a few dorms.
What's interesting is that the article says...
The school says that parents would not have a veto. Now my wife and I are not "Helicopter Parents" and anyone with college age kids should be familiar with that term. We would sit down and discuss it with them and have an adult conversation. She's 20 now and as long as it's a logical thought out decision to apply for those dorms, we would respect her decision.
But guess who strokes the checks for housing and who's name is on the title of the car she has with her.

"Students will get into the dorms through the student housing lottery, campus officials said. Then, students will be given the option of naming a roommate of either sex. Parents will not be permitted to veto their childrens roommates."
