Wow! What a wise and useful post. Thanks so much for all of your points and the lovely, reasonable and respectful way they were presented. You must be a great mom!

(As for all the sex stuff, fellow parent readers who might be shocked. Sex in dorms has been around a long long time and it is not going away. In my opinion, it is nothing to worry about as long as all consider the feelings of others. I went to college in 1965.I lived in my then future husband’s dorm room with him and 2 other guys. We slept in his single bed. We were considerate and polite. We were fine. They were fine. We never announced our need for privacy or locked anyone out. We worked around his roomies’ schedule. No big deal at all. The key as the kids would say is not to be a jerk – and that goes for the “lucky” roommate [male or female] the lucky visitor and the less-lucky that day roomies)
