The Skinny On The Bathrooms





Living in the residence halls requires a bit of adjusting. For one, unless you had several siblings, sharing a room with another person, yet alone a total stranger, can be difficult. In addition to sharing a bedroom, you also must share a bathroom: toilets, showers and sinks. You may think, I did this at home, with four people sharing one restroom. No problem, right? Not exactly. Multiply those four individuals by four, and you have a more of a summer camp set up. But do not fret. The residence halls are set up to accommodate your needs. We'll tour two separate examples of bathrooms. A men's restroom in Wright, and a female bathroom in Ashton.



Most restrooms are located at the ends or center of hallways. Wright has three different type of bathroom set ups. All have a certain amount of toilets and urinals for students to use. The only difference appears in the showers. One option is what I call the community type. There is an actual bathtub option, as well as one stall with three shower heads. The stall door locks, so many students use the extra space as an individual shower. The second option is the multiple sink option, with four toilets and urinals, and three showers. The showers are divided by stall doors as well. The third option, and the one I prefer, is the multi-shower option. There are at least five shower heads with there won stall doors. However, these spaces are smaller, except for two larger stalls.



As for the females, it is set up similarly. Of course there are no urinals,  and the walls are a faded pink, but they have an equal amount of toilets and showers. These are from Ashton on a floor of single-rooms. The bathrooms vary from residence hall to residence hall, but they are all mostly efficient.
