This was not an uncommon rooming arrangement for upperclassmen at Penn State when I went there (25 years ago). I don't think it would be great for those coming right out of high school; but otherwise no big deal. Of course, in every case I know of personally they had separate bedrooms in an appartment. I'm going to guess that's the situation here - they have individual rooms in a suite. (Calling it a "room" makes for a better headline.) For me at least, sharing a single room would seem to require too much overhead for non-romantic living.

And just to emphasize that it wasn't just the fringe students, I was pretty average as college students go and was invited to join in with an established co-ed appartment. I was happy where I was and stayed put.
