Co-ed hostels in India

Is co-ed hostels conducive to Indian background?

Busybee says: "Co-ED" hostel is an oxymoron :D Whats wrong with a combined hostel, wrt Indian background ? anyone staying in a hostel has plenty of freedom even otherwise, to do just what they want। We make too much out of our "Indian" background... like the rest of the world has no culture or background. unisex hostels are a better idea if one has to focus on education tho :D.

I now speak from my personal experience. I have been interacting with youngsters, both boys & girls, of 15 to 30. The amount of things I have learnt is amazing. Parents would never ever imagine that. They have had much more exposure to sex even while in 9th standard or so. This has been confided by girls as well as boys. My advice to all of them has always been " There is nothing right or wrong. It is all in minds of people. There is age and time for everything. They should think of consequences of their acts and follow what conscience permits." This is exactly what I had told my children too when they were in final years of schooling. Be more friends to your children than parent. There is nothing wrong in having co-ed hostels but with proper administration and counselling.
