The fourth floor of Polak, the toilets in Sanders or a study room on the third floor of G – many students have heard stories, directly or indirectly, of people secretly having sex on campus.
“The G building is a good spot because it’s deserted and there are no classes there”, says a student who has also heard the stories. A German student confirms this: “A friend of ours had sex in the G building during the first week of the year”, he says, laughing outside the Spar. The friend in question is standing a little further away and can hardly contain his laughter either. He doesn’t want to be interviewed, but allows his friends to tell the story. The German student continues: “We were really shocked when he told us.” Another classmate adds: “And also very proud.”
“I think I once heard people having sex in the study room next to me”, the German student goes on. During a study session in the G building, he heard some very strange and rhythmic noises coming from the room next door. “But I didn’t check. I wanted to give them some privacy.”
Divided opinions
“I think it’s disgusting”, says another student, sitting on a bench outside the Theil building, enjoying a bit of sunshine. She too knows stories of students having sex on university grounds. “I don’t understand why you’d do something like that”, she adds. A student taking a break by the campus pond agrees: “Aren’t there plenty of other places?”
Other students take a less negative view of sex on campus. “People should do whatever they want”, jokes a student on Erasmus Plaza. A master’s student outside the Spar adds: “If you want a short break from your exam stress, why not?”
