[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boy or girl, the dorms have rules about overnight guests. [/quote]

No they don't.  Except for a handful of extremely conservative religious schools, parietal regulations are largely gone.

My brother is currently in undergrad at a relatively large state school which is neither religiously affiliated nor conservative. They have regulations about overnight guests. Among the rules (I don't know all of them): roommate(s) have to agree to the visit, limits on how long the guest can stay (# of consecutive nights, not sure what the number is), limits on number of guests a student may have at once, have to sign the guest in at the front desk and both guest and host must have ID. These rules are far from gone.

Regardless of the gender of the observer or the couple, some things should be private and there are some things nobody wants to see. Someone else's intimacy with their romantic partner is one of those things for a lot of people, and both roommates should have the ability to feel comfortable in their own room. If something isn't working, the roommates need to come to an understanding that works for both parties. OP's DD should first talk to the roommate and if that doesn't work ask the RA for help having a discussion with roommate to set limits both can live with. [/quote]
