<p>What do these community bathrooms look like? Is one giant shower room and a series of toliets or multiple rooms of showers and toliets.</p>
<p>It really depends on the dorm I think. The community bathrooms in South Quad have many toilets and sinks when you walk in. You then have to walk into another section of the bathroom to access the shower section. You rarely have to wait for showers but depends on time of day and dorm/hall. Some of the bathrooms in South Quad are for sinks/toilets only, and you have to go to another one for showers. Also, some men's bathrooms here don't have urinals. It might be that they used to be the women's bathrooms.</p>
<p>Is there much privacy? or is it like a locker room....</p>
<p>Are all the dorms community bathrooms? or are there suite bathrooms?</p>
<p>I believe the rooms in Cambridge come with their own bathrooms.
As for the community bathrooms, how clean are they? I've heard stories where the showers in community bathrooms get clogged from semen.</p>
<p>oh god <em>twitch</em></p>
<p>I'm terrified of the bathrooms.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm an extremely neat-freak kind of person when it comes to bathrooms...this might be a problem.</p>
<p>It's not THAT bad. The bathrooms themselves are pretty clean. I've heard stories of them getting clogged, but never really seen it myself. </p>
<p>Just don't think about it ;)</p>
<p>And wear sandals.</p>
<p>I've never been to the Michigan dorms but I've experienced Berkeley, Stanford and Cornell dorm bathrooms. They were pretty OK and if you're really self conscious about your body there ARE at least shower curtains. I mean, shower curtains were pretty in every single one of those dorm bathrooms so I'm PRETTY sure they're in Michigan dorms too.</p>
<p>it's multiple rooms and showers (thank God). there's a whole row of sinks, then a whole row of toilet stalls, and then a whole row of showers with curtains. if you get lucky, your shower will have two curtains. what i mean by that is.. you have the actual shower, then a curtain preventing the water from getting out.. then you have like a "changing area" where its dry and then theres another curtain for that.. so you're not "exposed" at all. it depends on the dorm and floor that you live on, when i lived in Bursley only had one curtain so i would have to shower then get changed/put on bathrobe in the wet shower area.. on the other hand, i know Stockwell has the two curtain deal. it's awesome.</p>
<p>hope that helpeddd</p>
<p>it's like that in Markley as well. BUT... in West Quad, there's only like one community changing room, and a curtain for your shower</p>
<p>Anyone have pictures?</p>
<p>When most of us boomers were growing up, we had mandatory showers after gym in high school -- our gym teachers made sure we got wet by checking us as we stepped out of the shower. We all showered in a big open shower and changed together. In a time when "Girls Gone Wild" is popular, it seems pretty ironic that students are so modest about being naked in front of others of same sex.</p>
<p>If you're shy I suppose you could always wrap a towel around yourself and go back to your room to change. That's what a lot of people (including me) did when we stayed in college dorm rooms for camp stuff in the past.</p>
