<p>Okay, let’s be honest:</p>
<p>The MOST important criteria for Honors Room Selection for a Freshman Girl just might be the size/storage available in the BATHROOM AREA.</p>
<p>Based on this assumption, is the best choice Ridgecrest South, East or West???</p>
<p>Huge and multi-colored collections of cosmetics want to know…</p>
<p>Personally, the bathrooms at South and North are sizeably bigger to me - the shower stall is a square as opposed to a triangle (as they are in East/West). You can see this when you go onto the floor/room plans and count the square tiles in each (you do this sort of thing when your S is 6’3"). I also think the sink counter area is much larger in the South/North than the East/West bathrooms, so there’s where all the cosmetics are going to be, right? (4 tiles wide in East/West vs 6 tiles wide in South/North)</p>
<p>Never having been in East or West, the floor plans are all I have to go on and I (being an architect, and all) reached the same conclusion.</p>
<p>The pictures of the bathrooms in RC E and R C W. seem dark…I remember RC S seeming pretty light and spacious.</p>
<p>More opinions???</p>
<p>The sink area in RC South and North has drawers for each girl and lots more counter top space. If RC East and South Bathrooms are like Riversides’ (which I believe they are) there isn’t nearly the storage space around or under the sink.</p>
<p>Both plans have shelving in the shower/toilet area. In RC S/N it is open wire shelving. The pictures for RC E/W show the same tall cabinet that D had in Riverside.</p>
<p>Two of these 3 drawer carts fit side by side beneath the lowest shelf in the RCS bathrooms. They work well for additional storage.</p>

<p>There is exactly enough room for two this size.</p>
<p>Can’t help with the comparison or attest to the number of cosmetics one can store but here are photos of RCS bathroom.</p>
<p>There is one typical size single door wall medicine cabinet on the left wall not shown in this photo.</p>

<p>Bathroom shelving that bamagirls refers to. If you look closely you can see a part of the medicine cabinet that’s not shown in pic #1</p>

<p>In Ridgecrest West, you have a large area under the sink for storage (my D has cosmetics stored in multi-drawer Sterilite containers that letter size paper would fit in under there, but many different sizes of container would fit). In the room with the shower and toilet, there is a tall (floor to ceiling), relatively narrow cabinet with multiple shelves that provides additional storage. </p>
<p>I like the bathrooms in the RC towers better than those in RC East/West, but not necessarily for storage reasons. Although I stayed in the south tower during Bama Bound, I didn’t pay much attention to bathroom storage at the time. Overall my preference is for East and West, but the towers definitely win the bathroom contest, IMO.</p>
