Maybe the married couple just needs a temporary stay in the dorm until they find an apartment. I'm not too sure myself, but I would just like to hear it from someone else. Maybe they know something I don't :)Why aren't married couples allowed a dorm in college?
It depends on the individual college or university policy. In the late 1970s I attended a Lutheran University in Indiana (Vaparaiso University) even though I'm Catholic and was surprised people brought up this very same point. Married couples were not allowed to live together on University property, unless they were either faculty members, alumni, students attending graduate school or Law School. The expectation was (and still is, I believe, even today) that a married couple had to live ';off campus'; to prevent the appearance of favoritism, or some other such nonsense. Your point makes sense -- a temporary stay in the dorm, until they can find %26amp; move to an off-campus apartment. I guess the university didn't want any fornication going on in the dorm rooms (ha ha -- how little they truly knew of the real truth), so they set that policy to prevent the apparent endorsement of it happening with their approval. Pretty simple policy to read %26amp; follow: If you get married while attending the university, then you have to move out of the dorm.Why aren't married couples allowed a dorm in college?
We had males %26amp; females in the upperclass dorms (alternating floors), but not in the same room, or even on the same floor. They had to have same-sex roommates (whether they were single or married didn't matter). Thnx 4 da 10 pts!

It is all about sexual activities.
they are. most schools now have family oriented dorms for marrieds and people with kids
unless your college has separate dorms for the marrieds, where would they live? A married woman might feel uncomfortable living in a boys dorm and the other women might feel uncomfortable with a boy in the girls dorm. Its a personal space and comfort (and safety and liability) issue. There usually aren't enough married couples who would want to live in a dorm (married people tend to like more space and they tend to socialize less with other people than young single people) so most univerisities don't take on the expense of running a married dorm.
at my college there are dorms for married people... you can live together in a double if you are married.
Because there are the women dorms and the men dorms. College kids aren't usually married so they don't have THE MARRIED dorms.
maybe its how ppl will look at the schools. They may see it as, ppl who are already married are seen in to the public as ok to sleep together and live together, and ppl who are not married are not ok to do those things, even tho they do it anyway. I think it has a lot to do with what the outside public thinks is right, and the school may follow that in order to keep students.
The biggest college near me is Fort Hays State University. They have married dorms there. I looked into them when I was engaged my senior year of highschool and planning on going there for college. But they aren't always the cheapest route. But they do exist.
well, they wouldn't want to disturb other single dorm occupiers at night...lol...
seems unfair to me . they should be able to get a regular double room like any other students.
im not really sure but if u think about it, married couples can take advantage of the situation and pay to take one class plus living there, with all of the benefits, is kind of cheating the system.
