Tufts bans sex when roommate is in the dorm room

<p>I don’t remember much of this going on when I was in college, but I went to school back in the '70s and was in an all-female dorm that didn’t have 24 hour visitation. Sure, illicit overnights happened occasionally, but the roommate usually had enough notice to find someplace else to go. Bottom line, having sex in your room with the roommate present seems to me plain and simple selfish lack of consideration for a roommate. It’s just a theory, but I think some of this may come about because fewer kids share a room these days. Most families I know now are smaller than the families I knew growing up, and most people I know now have more bedrooms than did the people I knew growing up. At home, I shared a bedroom with 2 sisters, and my college roommate shared one with her sister, so we both had a lot of experience with sharing space and we did it with ease. None of my Ds has ever shared a bedroom, and their rooms are larger than most college dorm rooms. They’ll be in for a rude awakening when they head off to the dorms, and I hope they won’t be inconsiderate and selfish enough to either have sex in front of a roommate or toss a roommate out in order to have sex. Yuck to both.</p>
