The University of Platonic Love (5/9/2008)
Colleges Offer Coed Roommates Options
David R. Smith

Dear Ryan: Congratulations! You�re accepted to Platonic Love U! Enclosed is your first semester�s class schedule and a list of girls who are looking for a male roommate. Have a great summer as you prepare for an �unforgettable� experience at our school!

Currently, about two dozen schools allow boys and girls to be roommates on campus, including the University of Pennsylvania, Oberlin College, and the California Institute of Technology. But when the 2008 fall semester rolls around, there will be even more colleges that offer students this option; Stanford will be one of them.

A quick look back over the last 50 years will show that major shifts have taken place on college campuses, especially in regards to housing. In the Leave it to Beaver days of the 1950�s boys weren�t even allowed in girls� dorm buildings (and vice versa), let alone their rooms! That changed in the free love days of the 1970�s. Girls and boys could now share dorms, but being roommates was still off limits. But starting in 2005, several colleges began to allow boys and girls to have an even closer proximity to one another: roommates.
