Also they got a grade on how clean they kept their room. And anyone found to have a "secret" marriage would be expelled. Also couldn't wear rollers in your hair outside of the dorm room. Strange.

This isn't college, but in a couple of Toronto boarding schools back in the 60s (and earlier), girls were only allowed to have a certain number of dates per year (depending on grade level), and the boy had to be "approved" by the family. The other times they get to see men were at dances arranged by the schools. They probably got to see men like 10 times a year tops. They had mandatory extracurricular activities and were not allowed to watch television.
