UCLA is considering a plan that would put young men and women in the same dorm room, under certain conditions.
The campus newspaper reports "gender inclusive" dorm life, as suggested by UCLA Housing Services, is now being considered by The Office of Residential Life.
The success rate depends on who's involved, according to students.
"I grew up with three brothers. I'm used to living with guys," said student Rachel Luba. "This is my first year living with another girl as a roommate. I would be comfortable with it, especially if it was my brother."
I hadn't heard this conversation yet but its really nice that its being had," said student Liam McCoy. "I don't personally know any trans gender students."
The university says its happy to take requests for gender inclusive housing, and on a case by case basis, it's been a success. Some students predict problems, if the suggestion becomes policy.
"I'm sure parents don't want their children rooming with cross-gender or trans genders, or boys and girls rooming together, said student Cristal Alba.
