Co-ed dorms are nothing new; a floor for men, a floor for women, shared common areas… it’s a pretty common arrangement for college housing, but Rutgers University is looking to shake things up with their housing assignments.  However, the latest trend isn’t co-ed dorms, it’s co-ed dorm rooms.  That’s right, men and women will be […]
