are robes necessary?

<p>the shower situation in college worries me a tad</p>

<p>as a girl, im wondering if a robe comes in handy? or would i just look like a total prude by wearing one around? do the showers have those little spaces where you can get dressed/lotion up/etc?</p>

<p>robes rock because you don't have to worry about anything sliping off. a lot of people in my hall had them, you won't look weird.</p>

<p>robes will always come in handy</p>

<p>I'm wondering about robes too (and I'm a guy). I've read everywhere that you should bring a reobe and I asked my dad (who went to the same college I'm going too) and he said I should use one. Is there usually a plae to put your close (close to you) while you're showering</p>

<p>Jax, I think it depends on the college and the sort of showers they have.</p>

<p>Do you use one at home? If not, don't bother--it'd just be a waste of money. Towels can serve the same purpose by being wrapped around your waist/chest.</p>

<p>Robes can come in handy. I brought one, but never used it; but my roomate used hers everyday. To each his own i guess. Usually right next to your shower there will be a few wall hooks to hang your towel/robe up.</p>

<p>IMO, the people who use robes, you wouldn't want to see in just a towel anyway though...XD</p>

<p>i bought a robe for freshman year but only used it a few times. For the most part I just jused a towel.</p>

<p>i think robes come in handful..they are easier to have than towels..plus u can keep stuff in their pockets as well..i think its a good thing to have.</p>

<p>my one friend borrowed his girlfriends robe when he went into her bathroom at her dorm and he reached in the pocket and came out with all these tampons... I thought it was pretty funny..</p>

<p>We had bathrooms in our rooms (shared between 4 people in 2 rooms) instead of communal bathrooms, so I didn't need one. I just used a towel.</p>

<p>also if you have a long torso keep in mind how long your towel will reach. . . I know if I just use a towl I can't cover my butt and boobs at the same time 8)</p>

<p>okay, its midnight, its COLD and you have to go down the hall to a bathroom </p>

<p>your roommates sister is visiting and you want to be a gentleman and throw something on instead of sitting in your boxers</p>

<p>you get out of the shower, and you are cold, throwing on a robe and wrapping it around you is soooooooo nice</p>

<p>during a fire drill, standing outside in the cold at 3am in your underwear, or grabbing a robe and being warm</p>

<p>robes are good</p>

<p>I used a robe at the begining of the year, when I was a bit worried about walking down the halls in a towel. By the second month, however, I just used the towel. I got a really large one so that it covered everything.</p>

<p>i have never used my robe... there was no need whatsoever</p>

<p>I used my robe all year. I like them because I don't have to worry about it sliding off, and pockets. Pockets are nice.</p>

<p>Robes are PIMP. I wore my robe(and matching Nautica slippers) all year. Helps you dry off faster too, so you can sleep in about 5 minutes more.</p>
