Here in America, some colleges, at least the ones I visited have all female or male dorms, or have one floor male anther floor female. I heard that some actually mixed. What is the sitation in the college you go to and how would or how do you feel about males and females living together on the same floor? I would be rather uncomfortable with it, I much prefer same sex dorms.

I roomed in all sorts of dorms, and in one dorm we shared a floor with the ladies (1/2 and 1/2, separate bathrooms).
Quite frankly, if the girl wasn't in MY room, I didn't CARE about her location.
It did make things easier on my RA, though, whose girlfriend was the girls' RA for that same floor.
I remember coming home one night at about 2 AM, when the floor was silent. I went into the guys' bathroom, and could hear the shower running. I heard a distinctly unmasculine cough. Once I got back to my room, I heard the bathroom door open. I peeked out, and there were the two RA's, sneaking back to my RA's room.

Well, if you really want to, you can dig through the Flameboard and look for a topic posted by Monty about his latest rant... He gives some comments about coed dorms there.

My dorms have alternating male/female rooms as you go down the halls.... on one end of the hall is female, down a ways is male, etc. Its quite nice, and much better mix of real life.
You don't walk down the street and see only men, do you?

Well, if that were the case, medical practitioners who work in the neck straining industry would be out of business. And dark, dark glasses would be in.

OTOH, you don't want down the street and hear people having sex in the area next to you, do you?

Non-Co-ed dorms isn't going to solve that. Sex will happen either way. Just turn up your stereo. Won't hear a thing. Unless you are into that...

Good point, Liam... My roommate and I had that problem... Thing was, they would open their window before doing it.

Well, at least they're letting the whole block see.
One way to stop it - if they do leave the window open - is to go to a flat across from them, and take a few pictures. I'm sure they'll stop when they see the snaps all over the student union message board.
Blackmail would work there too.

Get a good tape recorder and tape one of their "sessions".
Then play the thing back to them (preferably right after said session ends) LOUDLY. If they object, just explain that since they seemed to want the rest of the world to know what they were doing, you just decided to help a little.

The editor of a magazine that a friend of mine is assitant editor for wrote an article on the different types of college roommates using his own experiences. One of them was the "dance/theater major." This one was named Seymour, was 30 years old, & had his "friend" Alex over all the time. Fine, whatever.
So one night, to quote Louis, "I drifted off to Sleep Land, population one. I was awakened by a loud grunt & woke up to find full-blown sexual intercourse between 2 men right in front of me."
Ouch.
