<p>What do students tend to use on campus, bottled water or filtered?
I was thinking of buying a Brita/Purr (Currently I use filtered water at home and reuse stainless sports bottles) but does that mean that I would fill/ filter the bathroom faucet water? That doesn't sound refreshing :) or do students just run around campus filling up their containers at "watering holes"? I can't imagine getting the shuttle to the local Walmart and hauling cases of bottled water each week ...or maybe it is a student body ritual .....please advise.</p>
<p>Don’t bother with the filter. Rochester water is very drinkable and doesn’t have any off tastes you need to filter out.</p>
<p>Many students on campus use sports/Sigg bottles for their drinking water. It’s the green thing to do. Generally students fill their bottles from the drinking fountains, or from the bathroom and/or hall kitchen faucets. </p>
<p>And if you <em>must</em> have bottled water, you can buy it at the campus store or in vending machines around campus.</p>
<p>BTW, there is a campus shuttle that runs to WalMart, Target and Wegman’s (grocery store) on weekends. Students haul all sorts of stuff back to campus on the shuttle.</p>
<p>There are little “water-bottle-filling” stations at some of the fountains around campus! =) I never found it necessary to buy water bottles from grocery stores.</p>
<p>D drinks the water–says it tastes fine</p>
<p>Thanks all,
I am going to pass on both the Brita and the bottled water. Good to know about the weekend shuttle to the local stores. 19 more days, I am so excited.</p>
