[quote=Anonymous]I really thought this was a troll until I googled and found several posts about much older students living in dorms. Many universities do not forbid it. I think they are worried about age discrimination lawsuits. There are posts on reddit with this situation: I’ve worked in college housing and we had folks ranging from 40 to 70 years old who insisted on living in the dorms, refusing to live in the apartments designated for older (25+) students. A lot of times they annoyed their room/floormates because they said offensive things and had no clue what the current social norms were. I lived on a co-ed floor my sophomore year of college and the girl next door had a roommate in her 60s. I love being around older folks and absolutely nothing but respect but it was the most uncomfortable situation ever. That woman had no business being in a dorm full of teenagers. We had the family housing too but she lived with us kids. [/quote]
