You've got to be kidding.  Escorts?  Men and women in different halves
of the building?  Was this twenty-five years ago? :-)

My idea of a coed dorm is either [1] men and women on alternate floors
(makes bathroom arrangements easier), or [2] men and women on the same
floor but in different suites, or [3] men and women in the same suites
but in different rooms.  These all existed when I was an undergraduate,
(a couple years ago) though the second was by far the most prevalent.
Of course, there were plenty of cases of "unofficial" coed rooming
arrangements.

Escorts?  Do they do bed checks, too?  :-)  Seriously, could somebody
who went to Purdue elaborate on this?  Besides, isn't it a little
hypocritical to have neo-Victorian dorm life and then have fraternities
on campus?
