If you live in a coed college dormitory or apartment, you may have noticed a lot of partying going on around you. Students who live in coed housing are much more likely to binge drink regularly, but not as much as students living in fraternity or sorority houses.

These were the findings of a new nationwide study of 500 students on five different college campuses.

The study showed that students placed by their universities in coed housing (they didn’t choose coed housing themselves) were 2.5 times more likely to binge drink every week than students placed in all-male or all-female housing.

Some of the main findings of the study included:

• 42 percent of students in coed housing reported binge drinking on a weekly basis.
• Only 18 percent of students in gender-specific housing reported binge drinking weekly.
• Students in coed dorms were significantly more likely to have had multiple sexual partners.
