As far as the housing stuff, I think it's perfectly fine and actually desirable to have the standards for in-house behavior be more conservative than those of college kids generally.
I don't think any of us [ I mean collectively when we are associated with our groups] are striving merely for behavior on the loose end of normal or typical. Shacking even when you have a [sharing the same room] roommate is pretty common, I think, but it's common in more than one sense of the word.

I love this response!
Shacking up with a boyfriend when you have a female roommate is just plain rude. It's her room, too. If a girl needs to engage in this type of behavior, then she needs to get her own bedroom. Period!
My first dorm roommate in college pulled this on me. She was also a drug abuser. I used to look longingly at the other girls, and the nice girls that they were rooming with, and wonder what I had done to deserve this hell. It all comes down to thoughtfulness. When you are rooming with others, you have to make very sure that you are being considerate. JMO
Girls, keep your private life just that...
