Freshmen to be, do yourselves and everyone a favor. If you don't want to fess up to your parents, call the school after you send your app in and tell them you made a mistake and really DON'T want to be in the ____-free dorm.

Hi-jack:

I don't know how most schools do this, but I am pretty sure at my alma mater there are no more EXCLUSIVELY male or female dorms.

I'm pretty sure all our dorms are co-ed. Most have guys/girls mixed together on the same floor. There ARE a few where the FLOORS are single-sex though. Ex: Floor 1 = girls, Floor 2 = guys, Floor 3 = girls. Even if your dorm has single-sex floors, there isn't a NO BOYS policy on the girls floor though (I find those types of rules ridiculous). Boys are allowed on it as long as they aren't disrupting quiet hours at night (midnight to like 7a) and it doesn't become a problem with the girl's roomate(s).

I see a lot of schools getting rid of the single-sex building thing, with the except of the more traditional private type schools. Ex: my friend went to a college where every dorm was single sex and there were no males allowed in the building at all. Period.

And about smoking, I'm pretty sure all our dorms are non-smoking now because of the sprinklers. I couldn't even let my curling iron overheat in the dorms because the fire alarms would go off and the whole building would be evacuated. lol.
