[quote=Anonymous]I realize a lot has changed since I went to college almost 20 years ago however I have to say I was totally shocked overhearing a conversation between my D and her two friends that she brought home for a short college break. 
We were at dinner and they were somewhat talking amongst themselves and I overheard one of them refer to someone they know and how she is sleeping with Professor X. They said it so nonchalantly that it took me aback for a minute.  Then they proceeded to talk about the flings various people have had with various professors. I tried not to flinch so they would keep on talking, my H was engrossed in a conversation with others at the table (we were a large group) but when I had my daughter alone for a few minutes the next day I told her I could not but overhear the conversation and that it really surprised me. And she basically shrugged her shoulders and said that it would surprise me even more if I knew how rampant it is.

This was news to me! Maybe its one of those "college secrets" that people know but don't talk about? It is commonplace? I know they are both consenting adults but still, it seems wrong/unethical for a professor or any age to be sleeping with a student. I was really surprised at how cavalier her attitude was but shes very liberal and open minded AND young! Call me old fashioned but this had me thinking. What do you think? Maybe more common that we realize?[/quote]
