Coed Dorm ROOMS, not halls

From what I know, the student-led Inter-House Council conducted an inquiry into students’ opinions on gender-blind housing, which would make a male/female roommate combination possible. Here’s the article:

At this point, I don’t think anything is for certain.

As you can be assured, though, there is a large GLBT population in the school, and many, citing the reasons you gave, prefer to live in singles rather than living in a same-sex double or triple. Single rooms are easy enough to get that it shouldn’t be a problem, and I imagine if you write on your housing slip your concerns about having a male roommate, the housing office will try to accommodate you accordingly.
