<p>Well, Offspring #1 would have been happy to have gone to Wesleyan if she had gotten off the waitlist, but her decision would have had nothing to do with potential bunkmates. The idea of sharing a bathroom with another gender, let alone with her own, was thoroughly unappealing. Now with Offspring #2 looking at Denison, I’d say her attitude would be similar: the option of coed roomies is not a sales point, but it is also not a deal breaker. </p>
<p>As to whether I personally feel comfortable with male and female students shacking up in college dorms with the blessing of the college administration? Well, that’s another matter. But then again, I am old and have forgotten all about what it is like to be 19 years old and in love (or is that in heat?).</p>
