Dorm rooms doubling as steamy love huts have Tufts University throwing cold water on sex on campus - at least when horny students let it all hang out in front of red-faced roommates.
“You may not engage in sexual activity while your roommate is present in the room,” tuts Tufts’ 2009-10 guest policy, newly revised in response to student gripes about rambunctious roomies and their raunchy romps.
Tufts spokeswoman Kim Thurler told the Herald the 8,500-student school has fielded roughly a dozen complaints from chagrined scholars “who expressed concerns that they were experiencing uncomfortable situations" with their roommates’ sex-tracurricular activities.
“We really didn’t have anything concrete in place for (them) to set clear boundaries,” she said.
But miffed collegians at the school’s Medford campus told the Herald they are quite capable of managing their own affairs, thank you very much.

Are Cornell students suicidal? Is Dartmouth all Republicans? Is Vassar really gay? Kathleen Kingsbury investigates which college stereotypes are bunk—and which are well-deserved.
Campus stereotypes have been around as long as college itself. And, usually, these reputations stick no matter what a university—or parent—tries to do about it.
“My favorite was, ‘God, Mom, Hamilton is so Hootie & the Blowfish,’” recalls Meg Gobles, a Brooklyn mother who guided her son through the college admissions process last year. “What does that even mean? And how could I possibly rebut it?”
From Dartmouth’s buttoned-down Republicans to Cornell’s suicidal student body, The Daily Beast investigates the longstanding stereotypes of eight prominent schools to find out just how true they are.Are Cornell students suicidal? Is Dartmouth all Republicans? Is Vassar really gay?... more
This chick sprayed the fire extinguisher in her sorority house at OU during exam week at 3 a.m. and set off the fire
Apparently, she wanted to make the hallway appear that it had snow in it, so she decided to use a fire extinguisher (this is something that her dad has successfully done in the past). Instead of there just being a “little poof”, the entire hallway filled with chemicals that caused the fire alarm to go off in the middle of the night during finals week.
Now this is her in the car upset that everyone at Alpha Chi (the sorority she wants to be in and presumably those who http://www.tabloidprodigy.com/?p=4038This chick sprayed the fire extinguisher in her sorority house at OU during exam week... more

Experts say rising university tuitions are pushing more traditional college-age students into two-year schools, and community colleges are also aggressively recruiting athletes and international students, who often prefer or need on-campus housing.
"We do think it's a trend for more community colleges to provide residential housing for students," said Norma Kent, spokeswoman for the American Assn. of Community Colleges in Washington, D.C.
Students Say:
"For him, it is a major adventure," Smith said of her son, Tyler, 19. "He told me, 'Mom, I'm making memories.' "
"I adore the dorms," said Matt Carothers, 19, who grew up in the Mammoth area. "I looked at a lot of them, and most are just a closet with beds."
"I'm having more fun than I had in my whole life," Carroll said.
Critics Say:
In a recent Chronicle of Higher Education article, a community college president from Illinois attacked the notion of such colleges having dorms, saying they breed pot-smoking and general folderol.

125 undergraduates from Wayne State University and Michigan State University were asked why they would or wouldn't have sex with a friend, and what the advantages or disadvantages would be.
Here are the results:
- 60% have been in a "friends with benefits" relationship
- What's the advantage? "No Commitment"
- Can two people have sex and still remain "just friends?"
- Recreational sex "really requires either effective birth control or women to be economically independent or both to be viable, and both are relatively recent in human evolution."
