if you know the guy and he seems ok, then yes I guess it would ok.
Iif not, like has been suggested, meet him at the library or some other public place.
use your best judgement.

at the first sign of physical resistance, the guy should back off.. then you know she's not playing "hard to get."

but to the original question, I'd be weary... depending on what class this is. I mean, he could be genuinely trying to get to know you. but since he asked to go over to his place... i'd be leaning towards he's trying to get in your pants, or completely ignorant of what he just said. if after suggesting another location, and he continues to insist on his place... i'd say avoid him.

Remembering way back when, the typical male student was in this context as trustworthy as a cobra in your underwear.

garlic and cross for pimple farmers, eh red?



go to a library. and not the top floor where no one would see you behind all the racks of books. though if the danger of getting caught appeals to you...

It it's a guy from ATOT you have nothing to worry about, because odds are they've never had sex, let alone touched a woman. If you're unsure, meet in a public place.

Personally, if I'm studying with a girl whom I don't know very well, I always suggest a public place to study (usually either the library or one of the quiet areas in the Union). It works for me because then I don't have to clean my dorm room, and it works for her because she's not nervous. I'd say that the girl should show a preference for a public place, and if the guy keeps insisting on studying in his room then the girl ought to be cautious.

In general, we suck :) I'm one of the better ones, my gf will contend to that :D I'd say the odds of coming in close contact with a creep are slim, but they're there

You might want to stick with the "better safe than sorry" idea. Perhaps you should make it a group study? Or study in a public place such as the library?

Believe it or not the majority of guys (college included) are not assholes.

That being said, as a girl caution is your friend. Don't trust us until you know us, not because we're all out to get you but because there are a few that are.

As others have said, if you're not comfortable with him study elsewhere.

Better to be overly cautious than naive.

from one who was an RA -

DO NOT go alone into a football, wrestler, most basketball players or fraternity members room. Also, be advised of PE majors as well.

I wouldn't go anywhere with a PE major either. There is this one girl in my anthro section who is just plain scary.

PE = Physical Education. Usually occupied by football players, basketball players, wrestlers. Not exactly the cream of the college crop.

heh, yeah. More like, '1 out of 4 girls at Ole Miss get sloppy ass drunk and don't remember enthusiastically volunteering for a DP. The return of sobriety also marks the return of the inhibitions to and shame of engaging in such behavior, they almost cannot believe they did it, so instead of having to face the consequences of their own horrible judgement, they pretend it did not happen consentually.'

I saw that happen a dozen times.

College guys are no more or no less criminal than the general male population.

It's not as simple as that. Was the woman consenting and cognizant of her actions? I would say that if she wasn't completely aware of her surroundings, regardless of the answer she gave, actions like that are more easily construed as rape.

i dunno.... what if both people are drunk... is that like mutual rape or something?

not to mention... girls know what's going to happen when they get drunk. unless they're somehow dumber than everybody else... yet they still do it. i can only conclude that they're just looking for an out... they can be as slutty as they want and blame it on the booze.
