[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a little weird that there isn't an age limit on undergraduate housing.[/quote]

that would be grossly discriminatory.  [/quote]

I'd lawsuit it. I don't think any college wants to be known as the school that's forcing 18 year old girls to room with 37 year old men. Find that school. It doesn't exist. This was probably an administrative idiot and subsequent error. The moment the university lawyers get wind of this, it will be resolved. No university wants that limelight. [/quote]

But they didn’t “force”—[b]the girl opted into inclusive housing.[/b]
She just had her own narrowly-defined view of how much she was willing to “include”

The red line for some is sex-based.
Apparently for OP’s family, mixed sex is fine, but mixed-age was something they didn’t anticipate

But this is a totally different situation that what she initially signed up for.  Signing up to live with a trans/non-binary person that you know well is COMPLETELY different than being put into a room with some random guy.  I can't believe the colleges don't acknowledge that.  And, honestly, any normal 37-year old guy would be EXTREMELY uncomfortable being put in a bedroom with an 18-year old girl.  I mean, 18 is basically a child, and he's nearly a middle-aged man. He's old enough to be her father.  Would your husbands be comfortable sharing a room with a teenage girl?  Most likely not.  [/quote]
