Personally, I like such dorm rules...it's very annoying for the roommates when one has friends over late into the night. It's hard to be the "bad guy" and say, "hey, could you leave? I'm trying to sleep." or "I'd like to change my clothes, but I can't while your boy/girl friend is always here."

Rules really don't do much for that. At my school, in the single-sex the freshmen dorms, guests of the opposite sex need to be signed in if it's after 11 and on weeknights they're supposed to be out by 2, and 3 on weekends.
I can't even tell you how many times I, or one of my friends have slept in the guys dorm without even signing in or anything.
My roommate has a boyfriend, and there was one night, pretty much right after they started dating that she and her boyfriend were just being loud and obnoxious while I was trying to sleep (with my iPod on with headphones too), and I didn't want to be mean, but around 1, I lay down the rules: either they needed to shut up, or he needed to leave. There have been no problems since.
Regarding the changing thing...people can shut their eyes if the person changing wants privacy. I personally couldn't care less and have completely stripped to shower whilst my roommates boyfriend was here.
My biggest pet peeves are:
1) People being loud in the dorms late. My next door neighbors will talk loudly the entire night on a regular basis.
2) Repetitive food. It's not even that it's bad, but there's always the same thing and it gets old quick.
