    So, are there two beds in that room?

    I thought roommate just meant housemate, not sharing a literal room

      In dormitories they do put 2 kids in a room and the dormitories are separated by gender but it doesn’t stop teens and young adults from bonking the noodles

          The neighbors in our exchange dorm were 4 huge South American guys. The room was so tiny and crammed, the beds occupied 85% of the space (they also had a tiny living room with a kitchen). They still got it going on with so goddamn many girls from the dorm. I think each one of them had another girl every night. How did they do it, I don’t know.

          Yeah, that’s the hard to believe part here. A professor having sex with a student is believable. A professor having their photo taken while they’re in bed with a student by that student’s roommate and while they’re in the university’s dorm? That’s a lot harder to believe.

              It’s not the posting of the image that’s unusual. It’s the professor getting themselves into a situation where the picture might be taken. Horniness can cloud the mind, but surely they’d still think of doing it in their office, or at a motel instead of a student’s dorm room, especially if that student has a roommate.

      College. Traditionally dorms for US colleges are just a shared bedroom/study space in a hallway of similar rooms. The bathroom is also a community bathroom with banks of shower stalls, toilets/urinals, and sinks for every resident in that wing on that floor. Then there is a shared common space for everyone in the building for gatherings, recreation, studying, etc.

      I never did a traditional dorm. I had a more apartment style arrangement on campus with two other roommates my first year in college. Unlike a traditional dorm, we had our own common area and bathroom for just the 3 of us, which was nice. But like a dorm, there was only one bedroom for all of us, with a twin size bunk bed and a twin size single bed. One of my roommates slept on a futon in the living room instead though, so it was really only me and another in the room. We were all friends from High School already too. So at least I didn’t have to share that tight space with two random strangers. We had enough drama with one of my roommates as it was.

      I moved into real apartments the following years where I had my own room, even my own bathroom in one of them.

        I went to ERAU Daytona, which had basically every kind of living arrangement you can think of except the traditional “bedrooms around a hallway around a communal bathroom” deal you described. Note: I have seen dorms exactly like that, but ERAU didn’t have them.

        The closest you’d get was Doolittle hall, which has clusters of four rooms that share one bathroom, several to a hallway. McKay hall looks for all the world like an old motel, the room doors open to the outside world, each room has two beds, two desks and a bathroom in the back. The Student Village had a couple halls where a pair of rooms had a kind of antechamber for closet space with a bathroom in between, Adam and Wood halls. It also had O’Connor hall, where I lived, which featured 4 bedroom, 2 bath apartments with living rooms/kitchenettes, housing 8 men total. Just off of that was Stimpson Hall, where upperclassmen still living on campus lived. Imagine a conjoined studio apartment, is the best way I can describe this; two men lived in two bedrooms sharing a small common area and kitchen. Apollo Hall had just been built and they were filling it up, I never saw the interior of that building.
