Hey all, I was just curious if most colleges go with the coed dorm setup or are they typically single-gender? Asking for my comfort level.
Many colleges in the U.S. tend to have both coed and single-gender dorm options to cater to a variety of comfort levels. It's very common to see dorm buildings that are coed, meaning the building itself houses both male and female students, but typically with separate floors, wings, or bathrooms for each gender to promote privacy and comfort.
That being said, some colleges offer single-gender dorms where a residence hall or an entire floor is exclusive to one gender. Some schools even provide gender-neutral housing, where students can live with whomever they choose, regardless of gender.
The specifics, however, can vary greatly from one college to the next. Thus, it's important to research the housing policies of each college you're interested in. You can find this information often on the university's housing or residential life website, or by contacting the housing department directly.
