Coed dorms have been common on American college and university campuses since the 1960s. But as the Los Angeles Times reported, the latest trend on college campuses is the mixed gender dorm room. Yes, this means that male and female students are sharing the same room.

So, does this mean male and female students will be assigned randomly to be college roommates? No; these so-called "gender-neutral dorm room" arrangements are voluntary. Some of these arrangements are being chosen by gay and lesbian students; a gay male student, for example, might choose to live with a heterosexual female friend. Other mixed-gender roommates are platonic heterosexual friends. Mixed-gender rooms also gives heterosexual couples to option to live together.

So are coed dorm rooms a good idea? Here are some advantages and disadvantages of this new living arrangement.
