UCLA Considers Co-Ed Room Sharing

In an idea the school is calling "gender-inclusive housing," the University of California-Los Angeles is considering allowing male and female roommates to share dorm rooms next year.

The concept is being embraced by some transgender students who think co-ed dorms will help ease their transition.

Many UCLA dorms currently allow males and females to occupy the same floors, but co-ed roommates would be new for the campus.
