Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University
1. Did your school(s) have single sex dorms? co-ed? combo?
All of the dorms at FAMU are single sex. Black parents don't really like the idea of little Keisha living alone for the first time with a man right next door. There are apartments on campus and the individual apartments are same sex as well while the buildings are not. Even then, the opposite sex is not allowed anywhere but in the living room and kitchen.
P.S. Despite the rules, there is a member of the opposite sex in the dorms at all times.
2. Did you all have a visitation policy? What was it?
The opposite sex was allowed to visit in the lobby of the dorms until midnight. Like I said, they were upstairs in the rooms too. There were several times when boys spent the night at my neighbors' rooms.
3. Did you live in SS or Co-ed dorms? Why (if you had a choice)?
Only girls in my dorm and I had no choice.
4. Did you sneak folks in and out?
Boyfriend came up to my room two or three times. Some nights it was just too cold to go outside to see him.
5. Did you have roommates? Do you still keep in touch with them?
I still live with my roommate from my freshman year. We live in the same house but we only see each other about twice a week. I am not here that often and when I am, it's in the daytime when she's at class.
