So, are there two beds in that room?

I thought roommate just meant housemate, not sharing a literal room

[-] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 69 points 2 months ago

In dormitories they do put 2 kids in a room and the dormitories are separated by gender but it doesn't stop teens and young adults from bonking the noodles

When I was an exchange student we had 3 guys in a tiny room. I paid for a hotel soon after

[-] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Just 3? Make it 4-8 with bunk beds in a room so tiny where literally the only free space is to stand in and walk to the end of the room and nothing else.

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

That's not a room that's a barracks lol

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Does a professor want to be seen there though?

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that's the hard to believe part here. A professor having sex with a student is believable. A professor having their photo taken while they're in bed with a student by that student's roommate and while they're in the university's dorm? That's a lot harder to believe.

It's not the posting of the image that's unusual. It's the professor getting themselves into a situation where the picture might be taken. Horniness can cloud the mind, but surely they'd still think of doing it in their office, or at a motel instead of a student's dorm room, especially if that student has a roommate.

[-] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but depending on the college, as long as the student isn't one of HIS students, it may be okay. Different colleges have different ethical standards, and while it's still a dumb thing to do, it may not violate any university policies as long as he's not actively teaching her.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Really? I can't think of any place where it would be allowed. Maybe a grad student with a prof from another faculty, but not an undergrad and any prof.

[-] isleepinahammock 4 points 2 months ago

I mean, what exactly is wrong with it? Age gap aside, I really don't see anything wrong with say a young faculty member getting with an undergrad. Imagibe a prof in their late twenties and an undergrad in their early twenties. As long as the student isn't one of their current or likely future students, I see nothing morally wrong with it. Now if it's a 50 year old prof with a 19 year old student, that's a different matter. But the problem there is the age gap, not the prof/student status.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Kids just out of high school may legally be adults, but they're not emotionally mature by any stretch. Their brains are still developing, and they're not making very wise choices.

Professors are in a position of power over them. Even if it isn't their professor, it may be someone who is a friend of their professor, works with them on a project, or serves with them on some committee. If a professor pressures a student into doing something sexual, can the student turn that professor down without ever worrying that it might affect his/her grades or graduation? If there's a bad break-up, a professor could make all kinds of trouble for the student. A professor is in a position of relative power throughout the school, and a student is in a position of very little power. This is especially true if the professor has tenure and is very difficult to fire as a result.

Welcome to AmeriKKKa

[-] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

This is also a thing in Slovakia, unfortunately.
I also have to be in a same room with stranger.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

I don't think it's that rare, students in (almost?) every country need to live somewhere for cheap and living in the same room is cheap usually

[-] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 31 points 2 months ago

One of those things that's normal only in the US and nowhere else.

[-] nightlily@leminal.space 38 points 2 months ago

University dorm accomodation exists in places other than the US. I lived in one with three people to the room in New Zealand.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

university of Edinburgh technically has these dorms IIRC but I don't think they're in common use

[-] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

What are you talking about? It's not that common in the US outside of college dormitories or extremely poor communities. And it's pretty common in other countries for those same situations.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Most colleges in Germany have options where you aren't stuffed in a room with others unless you want to. It's generally a tiny bit cheaper to stuff yourself in there but even then I don't see the appeal unless you know your roommate.

There's probably less student housing but German universities are also more spread out, meaning that students have fewer reasons to live by the main campus.

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 months ago

Never hear about hostels which are much more common in other countries.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

normal in Canada as well

[-] Basherblade@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

If it's dorm living, that's usually the case. One shared room.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

It's very common in college dorms to share a room like that. I noped out of that real quick back in the day.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

College. Traditionally dorms for US colleges are just a shared bedroom/study space in a hallway of similar rooms. The bathroom is also a community bathroom with banks of shower stalls, toilets/urinals, and sinks for every resident in that wing on that floor. Then there is a shared common space for everyone in the building for gatherings, recreation, studying, etc.

I never did a traditional dorm. I had a more apartment style arrangement on campus with two other roommates my first year in college. Unlike a traditional dorm, we had our own common area and bathroom for just the 3 of us, which was nice. But like a dorm, there was only one bedroom for all of us, with a twin size bunk bed and a twin size single bed. One of my roommates slept on a futon in the living room instead though, so it was really only me and another in the room. We were all friends from High School already too. So at least I didn't have to share that tight space with two random strangers. We had enough drama with one of my roommates as it was.

I moved into real apartments the following years where I had my own room, even my own bathroom in one of them.

This looks like a college dorm. Op is taking the picture from their own bed.

Edit: based on the angle, they might be standing in front of their bed or sitting on the very edge.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Generally speaking, -mate means you share that thing. So housemate, flatmate, workmate etc.

Have you seen coffee prices these days? My coffeemate and I would prefer our own, but we have no choice but to "Lady and the Tramp" a grande caramel macchiato every morning.
