Anyone can visit anyone at anytime.  Overnight guests are allowed, provided
that you get your roomate(s)' permission(s).  However, they do put a 3 day
cap on guest stays, mainly out of "resource-sharing" and "courtesy concerns."

There are "high rises" here, with coed floors and coed bathrooms (use same
facilities, as opposed to just sharing, say, sinks).  Although you are free
to bring in whomever you want, at night you must sign them in with the
Security Monitor.  (5pm-2am or 3pm-2am, depending on the night).

There are two single sex dorms, I don't think that their policy differs.
(They don't have Security monitors, though...)

Hey, what happens after intervisitation hours?  (You wake your visitor up at
3AM and tell them to get out?  j/k)

Oh.  Whoops.

Hey, that's sexual discrimination.  I can see that the university is trying
to look out for their welfare, however it also implies that all women are
weak and cannot make their own decisions.  What kind of policy applies if
a guy's been out drinking?  Is he allowed into a female's room?

My ex-roomate was from USC and he found that the policies here were "nazi".
However, people are not allowed into your room without prior permission,
unless they have a damn good reason for going in there.

See above.
