Dr. Ruth: Alternative to Columbia’s love shack dorms

Sunday, 06 December 2009 | by Pat's Picks

Columbia University is going to allow opposite sex students to become roommates in its dorms, reports the New York Post. The paper asked Dr. Ruth Westheimer to write a guest column on the topic, and she says from a practical point of view the decision makes sense. But she says it will also put more pressure on students. She suggests an alternative: set aside rooms where students can be together for a couple of hours rather than having to live 24/7 together.
