<p>I agree with the privacy- but I don’t agree that you get more privacy and modesty with segregated dorms.
I am not a prude-
However, just because I am female, doesn’t mean I want to live in a situation where other females think they don’t have to cover up whatever is hanging out. I don’t want to see it, I think that outside the bathroom that everyone should be covered up no matter what sex you are.</p>
<p>If it takes having dorms that are coed to get people to start respecting each others privacy and exhibit some modesty then I am all for it.</p>
<p>Additionally, unless a “womens” dorm actually bans men, then there are liable to be random males wandering around, the problem is you wouldn’t necessarily know who or where they belong.</p>
<p>If women choose to be in a womens dorm or men choose a mens dorm thats fine- they have a choice- but I don’t think that most will choose a segregated dorm, from my observations, the people who lived in coed dorms were very happy with that situation, much more family style and dorm choice was assigned by interest or theme, rather than by chromosomes ;)</p>
<p>The students that lived in my older daughters dorm were sufficently modest and respectful of each others privacy, that I was comfortable having her younger sister stay with her during visits- BTW she was 11 when sis was a freshman.</p>
