The survey of 500 students took place at two midwestern public universities and a west coast university, and the east coast was represented by a liberal arts college and a religious university.
The study found that students in coed housing were…
- 2.5 times more likely to binge drink every week (42% of students surveyed vs 18% of single-sex dorms)
- have more sexual partners
- more likely to use pornography
Some 90 percent of U.S. college dorms are now coed.
