I write in response to the April 16 article about co-ed housing. Back home in Germany, I lived in a co-ed dorm, which is standard everywhere and no point of discussion, for two years. We never had problems whatsoever with bathrooms, which were separated, or harassment. If anyone would have dared to start harassing others, peeking, etc., we would have dealt with that ourselves. And for all of you who have problems to be seen in a bathrobe, what kind of swimsuit do you normally wear? A trenchcoat? Of course, if You prefer separate housing, I do not mind. As I say, other countries, other customs.
