Each dorm is for two people of the same sex. There is a strict policy banning boys and girls from rooming with each other. To find out who you roommate will be, you must claim a dorm room and wait for someone else to come along. Some rules the school enforces are:

• No smoking
  
• No boys in girls' dorms, and vice versa
  
• No adult behavior
  
• Rooms should not be vandalized; you are subject to fines if they are
  
• No pets are allowed
  
• Loud noise is to be stopped after 9 PM
  
• No parties
  
• No drugs or alcohol
  
• Doors must not be left open
  
• No foul language is to be heard
  

Honestly, do you think everyone follows these rules? Kids smoke all the time, more drugs than cigarettes. Boys go in girl dorms and girls go in boy dorms, and there is much adult behavior there. People sneak pets in and spray paint designs on the walls to make it feel more like home. Parties are thrown all the time, and alcohol and rugs are passed out until the wee hours of the morning. People stumble into their dorms drunk and leave the doors open. And cursing is far from rare. Some kids use a curse every other word.
