Student/Faculty boundaries

[aryels]

I remember some secret inter-dating between students and faculty during high school.
But now at college, the boundary lines between students and faculty seem much more 'fuzzy'- both the faculty and students regularly cross the line into each other's territory.
 
Although it makes a very friendly atmosphere between students and faculty, maintaining the strictly professional relationship is not always easy.

I am wondering if it is common at all of the colleges, or am I the only one who sees the problem?

It is prohibited almost everywhere by most Codes of Conduct for both students and faculty.  Students can be expelled and faculty can be fired.  They usually decide it's not worth the risk.
