Problems with Co-Ed housing—otherwise known as “Gender Neutral” housing—included the logistical problem of what to do when students in co-ed living situations leave for a semester to study abroad, leaving an empty bed in a gender neutral living situation. A visiting student needing that bed may not want to be in such a setting. This problem is less of an issue in the Quad, where all houses have singles or suites and different sexes can be separated by closed...

These poor souls inevitably suffer from severe culture shock when they re-enter the United States. They find it materialistic...

The producers expressed high hopes for the film’s reception abroad. The themes and “the tension between ends and means” are universal, said Thwaites.
