Mixed-gender roommates become more common on campuses

From The Los Angeles Times: Although the number of participants remains small, gender-neutral housing has gained attention as the final step in the integration of student housing. In the 1970s, many U.S. colleges moved from having only single-sex dormitories to providing coed residence halls, with male and female students typically housed on alternating floors or wings. Then came coed hallways and bathrooms, further shocking traditionalists. Now, some colleges allow undergraduates of opposite sexes to share a room.
