Speaks Out: Co-ed housing on campus


This week, we asked UCLA students how they feel about gender-inclusive housing on the Hill, in which girls and guys could live together in the same dorm room.

I think they should be able to, but it should be optional. Girls and guys can already just go and get an apartment together.

Matt Panopio

As long as it is mutually agreed upon. I don’t think it should be random because it could get kind of sketchy if they don’t know each other’s boundaries, like changing clothes and bringing friends over.

Steven Kezian
First-year, biochemistry
I feel like it is a good idea but could cause some problems. Girls and guys live differently. They could clash, plus we are a little young for that.

Ashley Rosenberg
First-year, psychobiology
I think it is completely fine. If there’s a gay guy who wants to live with a girl or a girl who wants to live with her boyfriend, they should be able to. But it is their responsibility if things go badly.
