<p>After using live chat, I've learned that each Suite has 6 people in it (assuming they're triples) and has a single bathroom. This sounds sort of bad, as I would imagine there would be long waits for showers/using the bathrooms. I'd like some confirmation of this fact and comments on if it sounds worse than it really is.</p>
<p>Well first off, people normally do not shower at the same time. Also, there are two sinks and each toilet/shower has a door between them as well. It's not as bad as it sounds.</p>
<p>I was assigned to Rieber Terrace/triple. Live chat descibed the same set-up to me too. I was under the impression that there are two rooms that are adjoined by a bathroom, correct? There's no "suite" area, is there? In other word there's no living space other than the dorm room and the bathroom.</p>
<p>Suites have a living area, Plaza's don't</p>
<p>Sharing a bathroom with three others is not that bad, I've had maybe 2-3 conflicts the whole year.</p>
<p>Now with five others it could be rough, especailly if you're a girl..</p>
<p>Got It! Thanks</p>
<p>I live in a suite with five other people and it's not a big deal at all.</p>
<p>in the plaza buildings where two rooms are connected by a bathroom, it's not a bad situation. it's not like the entire bathroom is one room with one door: the shower has a door, the toilet has a door. completely separate entities.
after this year, i'd rather be sharing a bathroom like that with 5 other girls than sharing my private bathroom with just my two roomies. because it's like your bathoom at home: if someone's using the shower, i can't brush my teeth. if someone takes 2 hours in the shower every morning, i have to plan my schedule around her...
...which gets really annoying. a "shared" not "private" bathroom will NOT be like that! :)</p>
<p>ive had to share with six this year and it has NOT been a problem.</p>
<p>I'm worried too. I've been on choir trips and other school stuff where I had to share a room with 3 others girls min. We always had problems scheduling morning showers. I take a 5 minute shower, then another 5 to get dressed and stuff but I always had a problem. If I said I'd go last, someone would take too long and I'd be the one in trouble because I was late a few minutes. On the other hand, I'd have to wake up an hour earlier than I normally would to make sure I got a shower in before we left. I'm really worried something like this will happen in a shared.</p>
<p>Oh, and I come from a neat freak family so dirty bathrooms annoy and disgust me. My mom says with 5 other people, one of them is bound to be a slob. Any problems with messy co-bathers?</p>
<p>I had the same problems on school trips. We had to rush showers and have a schedule when 6 of us shared an Embassy suites room. In college everyone is probably on a totally different class schedule and so hopefully you can get enough time in the bathroom everyday without problems and I think housekeeping cleans the bathrooms once a week. Still, it seems like 6 on a bathroom is not ideal. I think all the dorms were not designed to be triples. UCLA just decided to pack us in that way. I sure wish there were more doubles.</p>
