Have you seen coffee prices these days? My coffeemate and I would prefer our own, but we have no choice but to “Lady and the Tramp” a grande caramel macchiato every morning.
In America it can mean either, though in college it usually refers to a dorm mate, which often house 2 people. It also describes people who share an apartment/house but have separate rooms.
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
Just 3? Make it 4-8 with bunk beds in a room so tiny where literally the only free space is to stand in and walk to the end of the room and nothing else.
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.
Yeah, but depending on the college, as long as the student isn’t one of HIS students, it may be okay. Different colleges have different ethical standards, and while it’s still a dumb thing to do, it may not violate any university policies as long as he’s not actively teaching her.
Really? I can’t think of any place where it would be allowed. Maybe a grad student with a prof from another faculty, but not an undergrad and any prof.
I mean, what exactly is wrong with it? Age gap aside, I really don’t see anything wrong with say a young faculty member getting with an undergrad. Imagibe a prof in their late twenties and an undergrad in their early twenties. As long as the student isn’t one of their current or likely future students, I see nothing morally wrong with it. Now if it’s a 50 year old prof with a 19 year old student, that’s a different matter. But the problem there is the age gap, not the prof/student status.
What are you talking about? It’s not that common in the US outside of college dormitories or extremely poor communities. And it’s pretty common in other countries for those same situations.
Most colleges in Germany have options where you aren’t stuffed in a room with others unless you want to. It’s generally a tiny bit cheaper to stuff yourself in there but even then I don’t see the appeal unless you know your roommate.
There’s probably less student housing but German universities are also more spread out, meaning that students have fewer reasons to live by the main campus.

This is literally the same situation as most American universities.

Ya know how all the kids these days don’t know how to socialize and are super lonely? This is their opportinity to very easily make friends when they are starting college
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.
So, are there two beds in that room?
I thought roommate just meant housemate, not sharing a literal room
It’s very common in college dorms to share a room like that. I noped out of that real quick back in the day.
Welcome to
This is also a thing in Slovakia, unfortunately.
I also have to be in a same room with stranger.
I don’t think it’s that rare, students in (almost?) every country need to live somewhere for cheap and living in the same room is cheap usually
Generally speaking, -mate means you share that thing. So housemate, flatmate, workmate etc.
What about coffee mate?
Two sipping at once makes it fun

That’s because the typical American is a semi literate troglodyte, anywhere else you would refer to someone like that as a flatmate or housemate.
You must be British.
Bri’ish*
No, I just use words properly.
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
My daughter who was a RA called it freshmen mating season.
Edit: She laughed and corrected my breeding to a mating.
I mean, they’ve spent the last 3+ years being horny all the time and now they’re away from their parents and unsupervised…
When I was an exchange student we had 3 guys in a tiny room. I paid for a hotel soon after
Just 3? Make it 4-8 with bunk beds in a room so tiny where literally the only free space is to stand in and walk to the end of the room and nothing else.
That’s not a room that’s a barracks lol

What I did was give some money to the other guys for beer so they would leave for an hour or so
No. There is a better way:

Awkward.
Does a professor want to be seen there though?
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.
“Give me an A or I post it.”
“You wouldn’t dare. It would ruin both of our reputations.”

This looks like a college dorm. Op is taking the picture from their own bed.
Edit: based on the angle, they might be standing in front of their bed or sitting on the very edge.
One of those things that’s normal only in the US and nowhere else.

University dorm accomodation exists in places other than the US. I lived in one with three people to the room in New Zealand.
university of Edinburgh technically has these dorms IIRC but I don’t think they’re in common use
Never hear about hostels which are much more common in other countries.
normal in Canada as well
If it’s dorm living, that’s usually the case. One shared room.
