Some places do this and stil call it a 'co-ed' dorm, it is less structured on
the coasts, from what I've heard and experienced.  (At MIT, 'co-ed' means 
there might be a girl living in the ROOM next to yours, and there is 24-hour
visitation, with no escort required.)

In some dorms there are male-only floors in order to keep a 60/40 male/female
ratio on the coed floors, but there are no restriction unless you go to the
Women's DORM, where there are only 8 (escorted) males allowed in at one time
(more to prevent lots of guys stopping by at 5:00 to eat the best dorm food
on campus than anything else, according to the rumor I heard.)
