Just to chime in…I’m not a Fordham Alum but my son was accepted last week. I was, however, an RA at Big State U and the real problem about having overnight guests (of the opposite sex, especially)is how inconvenient it is for your roomie.

They often won’t tell you to your face but they will tell lots of other people how much it bothers them. I heard many stories of girls trying to get ready in the morning and having to worry about/deal with their roomie’s guy friend still in bed.

And if you’re a guy w/ a girl in your room overnight- you’ll have to watch out for her because other guys may do things that seem funny to them but can be very upsetting to you and your girlfriend. I don’t want to give anyone ideas here. Just make sure your roommate is on your side.

And remember your roomie is paying to sleep, study and relax in that room, too. Parents can get very upset when they have a kid who has to sleep somewhere else. I’ve seen it and it ain’t pretty.
