<p>So i'm a guy, and my floor is coed with common bathrooms. should i buy a robe? are there any other things i should be concerned about? lol sorry if this is a stupid question</p>
<p>A robe is a good idea. Also, close the stall door when you are using the bathroom.</p>
<p>Is this a joke thread?</p>
<p>^ no… i was being serious, hence the
:)</p>
<p>Please buy a robe and try not to be generally ridiculous. I lived in a co-ed floor last year with single sex community bathrooms, and after a few too many instances of going into the hall in the middle of the night for a drink of water and encountering a male neighbor who thought he could sneak to the bathroom disrobed unnoticed, I moved to a single sex building. Good manners are called for, use them and there is nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>^ Lol thanks so much for the advice. I went out and bought a robe :):)</p>
<p>Lol… at Rutgers you don’t know how many times I’ve come across boys (most of them were pretty handsome) walking around with only their towel and flip flops when I lived in co-ed dorms. </p>
<p>I felt so guilty and perverted sometimes when I came across them in the hallways … I used to avert my eyes, hehehehe :o</p>
<p>walking around with a towel and flip flops is the norm anywhere, coed or not.
don’t get a bathrobe though… bathrobes are just extra weight and trouble you dont need
if youre modest and stuff, bring at least an undershirt or a light t shirt so you can cover up your breasts and use a towel, or just bring light pants/shirt so you can put it on in the shower after you dry and walk out fully clothed
there are coed bathrooms? i’ve never heard of those. that’s kind of line crossing there…
dont pee with the toilet lid down? keep the sinks clean? why would you be concerned… just dont run through the halls naked</p>
<p>Don’t bring a bathrobe.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you’d say that if he has room for it and feels comfortable wearing it. Some guys in my dorm just wrapped towels around themselves last year, but there were several that had robes, too-- and more of them in winter when it started to get cold in the hallways. He can do whatever he wants, nothing he could do short of running around naked will be out of the ordinary. It is simply a matter of preference. </p>
<p>I suggested a robe given that personally I think it’s rude to walk around in nothing but a towel in mixed company and given that I see plenty of men using them.</p>
<p>
there are men’s and women’s bathrooms, sorry i didn’t make that clear</p>
<p>
but what if the towel falls down? </p>
<p>
LOL that just made my day</p>
<p>'but what if the towel falls down? '</p>
<p>tie it tight, and place your arm against the seam where the two ends of the towel meet so that even if it gets loose it won’t unravel</p>
<p>you could just use a towel, that’s what I did and I’m a girl.</p>
<p>Some schools actually do have co-ed community bathrooms. There was a thread about it once in the parents forum. Some people were shocked that there were schools with enforced single sex community bathrooms. I just can’t fathom sharing a public bathroom situation with boys.</p>
<p>It’s funny though, at my old dorm, where I was at risk of my neighbors letting their male guests into our bathroom, we didn’t have any changing rooms or anything for the showers, it was just a stall with a curtain. In my new dorm, which is and always has been all female, they have shower doors and each stall has a little changing space. Go figure.</p>
<p>^ I couldn’t imagine sharing a bathroom with girls when its that time of the month and they have synchronized periods, other than that I’m cool with it.</p>
<p>Yeah I couldn’t imagine a mixed sex bathroom either, that’s just a little too progressive-liberal-policy for me.</p>
<p>One time when I went to the bathroom, I saw the toilet and it looked like someone poured a bowl of leftover fruit punch. A few times I’ve come across a bloody pad floating in the toilet. And I’m not going to even get started with what I saw in the shower stall >_<</p>
<p>‘the college experience’</p>
<p>I was going to say, the girls don’t like sharing with each other for that reason, either. You have to wonder what some of these people do when they’re home, I fail to see how people even make the messes they do to begin with, much less fail to clean up after themselves.</p>
<p>Private bathroom ftw.</p>
<p>When I lived on a co-ed floor everyone walked around in just towels, guys and girls. Now I’m on an all guys floor but there’s always girls on our floor and I continue to just wear a towel.</p>
