[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends who went to Catholic colleges in the 90s had limits on boys and girls mixing in the dorm or in each other’s dorm rooms enforced by dorm mother clergy.  That was way different than in my private liberal arts school with zero limits.[/quote]

That was 30+ years ago, for pete's sake.  Not relevant today.[/quote]

[b]And not even true at the Jesuit university I attended in the 90s.[/b]

My sister's 'regular' university didn't even have mixed sex dormitories.  This was VA Tech in the late 80s.  They were all female or all male, like many college campuses.

The advent of the mixed suites--(not just dorms) everywhere a few years later was an eye-opener for me.[/quote]

Same here - my Jesuit university in the 80's had coed dorms.  Each floor was single sex but there were no curfews on when students could be out of their rooms and no restrictions on when students of opposite sex could be in each others' rooms (or even sleep over). I was an RA for a freshman dorm - this was not something we paid attention to.  We cared more about mental health (especially since these were new students, often away from home for the first time) and planning bonding and social events. We also planned educational events on alcohol/drugs.  The only sort of "policing" we did was for obvious alcohol-related parties and sometimes late night noise. [/quote]
