It is not very common for male and female students to live together in university dormitories, but some universities will also implement mixed system in some dormitories because of the imbalance between male and female. Southern Medical University is such a school, but as the only co-educational institution in Guangdong, it recently announced the abolition of the co-educational system that has been practiced for many years.

According to the official account of WeChat, the Student Union of Southern Medical University explained that there are certain differences between boys and girls in their lifestyles. In order to prevent the noise of male students playing games late at night from affecting the work and rest of female students, and to facilitate female students to dare to open the door and ventilate in summer, they decided to cancel mixed accommodation.

The reasons why men and women sleep together in colleges and universities

According to the survey, South China University of Technology, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, South China Agricultural University, Guangdong University of Finance and Economics and other universities also have the situation of "men and women sharing the same building and managing at different levels", mainly because of the imbalance between men and women.

In colleges and universities where there are far more girls than boys, there is a shortage of accommodation resources for girls' dormitories, while there are redundant dormitories for boys' dormitories. In order to maximize the use of accommodation resources, the school arranges girls to live in boys' dormitories, which are managed at different levels, such as Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and the eighth dormitory in the south campus of the school. The second and third floors are girls' dormitories, and above the fourth floor are boys' dormitories.
