<p>Do they have communal showers with individual stalls for some privacy? Or is it just a place where everyone gets butt naked and shares the whole room?</p>
<p>Yup, just one big, homosexual orgy. </p>
<h2>But in all seriousness, most schools have setups like this, (Pardon the bad diagram!)</h2>

<p>Individual stalls. I really can’t imagine the shared room thing being commonplace anymore, and haven’t heard of it at all currently.</p>
<p>LOL nice drawing.</p>
<p>Why thank you. I put a lot of effort into it.</p>
<p>Great drawing! Let’s face it, most college baths not deluxe. You’ll make it</p>
<p>Nearly all schools have private shower stalls. All you get is a plastic or concrete wall between you and the next guy. If you are lucky, you will have both cold and hot water. I had to shower once in a stall with freezing cold water, and another time in a scalding hot stall. Luckily, they were all fixed within a week…couldn’t imagine having to use them for a whole semester !</p>
<p>There’s a door or shower curtain between you and the rest of the bathroom. The toilets and urinating-cubicles are normally right outside your shower stall.</p>
<p>You don’t get butt-naked and share a single shower room. That’s in the military, good folks.</p>
<p>But you’d might have to get naked while taking your clothing’s off. Not to worry, you’ll get used to see naked men after a month in college !</p>
<p>Be sure to get some sandals, though. It sucks when there’s a common drain for a bunch of different shower stalls. :(</p>
<p>
Absolutely still is.</p>
<p>I’m a rising Junior, and I have yet to see a bathroom situation where people are required to get naked in front of others before getting in/while in the shower. The stalls are separate, and while they may not have a changing area, most people just show up to the bathroom already clad in a towel (or robe), which they take off after getting into the stall.</p>
<p>they gym at my school (the one I’ve been to, the other one may not) still has open, communal showers, but the dorm showers have stalls. Some dorms had a changing room, some don’t, but then you just walk down the hallway in a towel.</p>
<p>Not even kidding, we had a “big shared room” in my dorm freshman year. There were three nozzles on each wall, each about 5 feet apart. No barriers or curtains. </p>
<p>Albeit having been awkward at first, we dealt with it. Most people kind of had their own showering times when they knew no one else would be in there. I stayed up late, and usually showered between midnight and 1AM before bed. In the case that someone else was in there, oh well. We avoided eye contact and minded our own business. I probably showered atleast 300 times in there; and I’d say only maybe 10 of the times I was sharing it with someone else.</p>
<p>I think for privacy reasons, nearly all university dorm systems are required to offer semi-private showering (curtains and barriers)
Most walk from their rooms with their towels on and shower kits. Like when I lived in a dorm with a community bathroom. I started not fancying the ideal walking dripping wet down a cold hall (aside from 3 weeks total out of the year, the ac is always on in south FL) so I’d bring wear my towel out and change clothes after in the showerway, didn’t care, nor did a few others.</p>
<p>And yes whomever said about the military and showering. Man or woman, after basic training you will not have any qualms about showering in a group setting with the same gender.</p>
<p>pretty much all dorms have provate showering (many of the gym showers might still be open). even if it is not private of well, you all have the same stuff even if some are different sizes. youll learn pretty quick it is no big deal if you have to shower namked with other people</p>
<p>
We would actually be suprised when we got somewhere that did have private or semi-private shower stalls. We’d go, “Oww, fancy.”</p>
<p>Even the gym on base had communal shower faucets (a couple giant pillars with the 5-6 shower nozzles sticking out the top in a spoke-like fashion, so you eventually need to face the one’s you’re showering with). Generally, showering with the same gender is one of the last things/worries on yor mind in the military though - even with someone who you know to be gay, 'cause if they’re an upstanding person, then you know they wouldn’t do anything stupid.</p>
<p>I think once you hit typical college age, nudity with the same gender is a little overrated - it’s just that those that are supposed to be college age don’t typically act like it.</p>
