The dorms you lived in during freshman year probably didn’t allow coed habitation, but if you decide to move into your own apartment, it’s up to you to choose your roommates. Since you probably have plenty of friends of both sexes, you might be faced with the decision: should I room with a mix of guys and girls?
Well, the roommate relationship is an interesting one, since it involves a closeness and intimacy that regular friends rarely experience. That said, do you want that kind of relationship with a friend of the opposite sex? The truth is, coed roommates come with their own set of pros and cons. Weigh them carefully before you decide.
Pro: More dating opportunities when coed friends are hanging around.
If you make yourself visible when your opposite sex roomie is having friends over, you might just find a hot new date.

Con: Sharing a bathroom might be awkward.
Finding little hairs that don’t belong to you, awkward post-poop eye contact in the hallway… It’s enough to make you cringe.

Pro: Guys are generally good about sharing booze.
They’re a generous sort.
