Could CUA being starting a new trend, that isn't quite new?

CUA will be returning to single gender residence halls for this year's incoming freshmen class.  The university's new president, John Garvey, announced that this decision was based on trying to decrease excessive drinking on campus and the "hook-up" scene.  This announcement came from the Wall Street Journal and has already been criticized as more of a PR move.  This info comes from InsideHigherEd 

What have you experienced on your campuses when it comes to single gender v. gender by floor v. completely coed housing?  What would you want your child to live in?  If you could change one thing about your university's housing, what would it be?
