[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This (co-ed) environment largely creates different expectations," Carroll continued. "What does it mean as you head down the hallway to the showers, that there's going to be mixed gender? What does that mean when there's that kind of proximity and association?" [/quote] It means college will be like my house, where I shared a bathroom with my sister and my brothers? The belief that single-sex dorms will lead to less alcohol consumption seems to arise from a belief that men and women are so vastly different from each other that they can't possibly treat each other as human beings doing the things humans do. I suspect a lot of the people who choose single sex dorms have extremely conservative ideas about gender, and it wouldn't surprise me if they were similarly conservative in their use of chemical mood enhancers. OTOH, there are plenty of frat boys and sorority girls who have traditional views of gender roles who drink plenty. [/quote]
