<p>I just received my housing assignment, I opted for connecting bath and got it..Is it worth the extra $200 (in Jester)?</p>
<p>I had connecting bath and I think its worth it. I prefer it over community bath. Only downside is have to clean it yourself and you have to bring own toilet paper and hand soap, but I still liked have own bathroom being right there. And I never had a problem sharing it with three other people considering showers and everything, but that’s specific and can change for anyone.</p>
<p>Can you buy toilet paper and hand soap from a store inside Jester?</p>
<p>Personally, I prefer community bath because I don’t have to deal with cleaning it. Of course, you do have to get used to sharing a bathroom with a lot of people, but it’s not a big deal after about a week.</p>
<p>ezra11, most convenience-type stores on campus carry those items. You’d money though if you and your suitemates made monthly trips or so to HEB.</p>
<p>You can buy toilet paper and hand soap on the first floor in the market. It’s really what you prefer though. If you don’t mind cleaning your bathroom then I would say get the connecting because it’s great to have right there whenever you need it and don’t have to walk down the hall after a shower or anything. But I know some people who didn’t mind the community bath so its just my opinion. And I really liked my suitemates so it was cool.</p>
<p>I got a connecting bathroom in JWest First Floor</p>
<p>Does anyone know if that’s a renovated room?</p>
<p>My understanding is that only jester east is renovated but that might not be true anymore.</p>
<p>Yeah, only Jester East is being renovated, as far as I know.</p>
<p>How do I know if I have Jester East or West?</p>
<p>W#### = West
M#### = East</p>
<p>theyre in process of renovating west now</p>
<p>oh okay, I’ve got East then</p>
<p>How many showers/toilets/sinks are there in a connecting bath? Just one for all 4 people to share? And how is the room size & location for those in Jester that have connecting baths? Are they bigger than the normal Jester rooms? And are they usually located toward the end of the hallways?</p>
<p>I think there are two sinks? One shower and one toilet. The rooms are slightly smaller than the rooms that share a community bathroom.</p>
<p>There are two sinks, one shower, one toilet in connecting baths</p>
<p>The bedrooms in connecting baths are a bit bigger than the community shower bedrooms.
The connecting bath bedrooms are 14’-6 x 15’-8
The community shower bedrooms are 12’-10 x 15’-10</p>
<p>Those dimensions are correct, but if you look at the room diagram, the bathroom sticks into the room. So, the actual living space is smaller for rooms with connecting bathrooms.</p>
<p>If I submitted a waitlist form to switch dorms from jester community bath to private bath. What would be my chances of getting private bath? And, how soon of possible?</p>
<p>Are the Jester West 1st floor rooms nice? Which ones are being renovated exactly in Jester west?</p>
<p>I don’t think the first floor is being renovated. I have two friends who lived on that floor last year, and will live there again this coming year. The rooms that share a community bathroom are pretty standard. The rooms with connecting bathrooms are kind of oddly laid out… the beds are perpendicular to each other, against perpendicular walls.</p>
<p>hey! i’m on jester west first floor with a connecting bathroom too :)</p>
