So, a woman I know has twin boys, both seniors in HS.

The boys want to attend the same university. One twin wants to room with his brother in the dorms. The other is ambivalent about it. I advised her to discourage rooming together. A right of passage as a freshman is to meet as many new people as possible. The easiest way is to open the dorm room door, crank up some tunes, and invite passersby to come in for a prohibited orange whip. If the twins live in separate dorms, or even just separate rooms, they will double their circles of new friends.

But I was informed by the lovely and talented Mrs. Bonbon that kids don’t prop open their dorm doors anymore. Is that true? And why? I met some lifelong friends that way during New Student Week … and scored 3 dates. Fish in a barrel

When my daughter was a freshmen in PAR a few years ago nobody kept their doors open

Not sure if it was an antisocial generational thing or because the floor was mixed genders or whatever else

Just as the four walls closed me within
My eyes are opened up with pure sunlight

Probably didn't have dorm corridor wide Half Life multiplayer sessions either.*

What we've become is contrary to what we want
Take a bow

Confirmed. Doors closed. Dorm-wide circle of friends is a thing of the past*

That makes me sad. I could go into just about any room on my floor freshman year.*
