<p>sfboy, it's entirely possible that by the end of the year, your dormmates will become your (very!) close friends. In that case, it sounds like you might not mind sharing the bathroom...</p>
<p>as far as cleanliness goes, if you get a suite, you can clean it all you want. And if you get a hall bath, well at my school they were cleaned at least 4 days a week and most time 6. They were actually cleaner than our suite bath was.</p>
<p>um, why don't you wear FLIP FLOPS if you want to be protected from "stranger's" germs on the ground. Honestly, if you wear flipflops, you should be protected, unless you like humping bathroom walls.</p>
<p>you are an idiot retainer</p>
<p>Yeah, you will rarely clean your own bathroom</p>
<p>hoped the blowjob thing worked for you retainer</p>
<p>Part of going to college is learning to be independent and working/living/etc with other people. If you absolutely must have your own private bathroom, be prepared to cough up some serious money and know that it also means you'll most likely be out of the dorms during a very important time for socialization (your first year in college).</p>
<p>Also, if you use public restrooms and can wear shower sandals, is it really that much of a difference sharing a bathroom?</p>
<p>^^I agree with Matthew^^</p>
<p>seriously, if you are going to college, you will soon be independent and start your own family. If you are so afraid as to not share a bathroom with a "stranger", then good luck to you</p>
<p>its not like bathrooms are a breading ground for hepatitis or clamidia...and you would be surprised by how many people are NOT pigs...they want a clean bathroom too. If you have a cleanliness disorder like OCD, then perhaps college will be a good time to try and overcome that disorder, and work on controlling it.</p>
<p>Dude retainer you're a loser get a life, sorry if you're to poor that you can't afford a private place. And again, did you not read what I said about the whole family thing.</p>
<p>I would say that about 99% of college dorms don't have private bathrooms for every single person, just because it would be horribly inefficient. If you get a suite-style room you're responsible for keeping it clean yourself, but college students tend not to clean all that often (especially guys) so it will likely end up dirtier than the professionally-cleaned community restroom unless you plan on cleaning it twice a day yourself.</p>
<p>Or make a point of not attending a school that requires freshmen to live on-campus and get your own apartment, if you're that squeamish. This actually ends up costing the same as the dorms at my school but it would probably be more expensive in areas with higher rent.</p>
<p>What does it matter. If this is your criteria for choosing a school, save everyone the trouble and just stay at home with mommy. Make do with what you have and stop being suck a whiney little bit ch.</p>

<p>I really don't like the way you act.</p>
<p>Seriously, stop thinking that you're entitled to your own bathroom just because you've been sharing things all your life. You're not the only one. In fact, I'd venture a guess and say most peoples' families have other people in them.</p>
<p>Also, like the others said, it's not like there'll be crap and excrement all over the floor and dirt on the walls, and strangers boxers lying around. No doubt that's not what you had in mind, but you get my point. Everybody is sharing a bathroom, and I'll bet you some of them are clean freaks too. It's all part of the experience, so go along with it and have fun.</p>
<p>I agree with gold.</p>
<p>"Sorry if your too poor you can't afford a private place". That has nothing to do with this first of all, second of all how do you know hes poor? Thirdly, why on earth would you spend the extra money to get your own damn bathroom and live off campus and miss out on everything going on freshman year? I can guarantee you I have enough money to live in a very nice apartment (2,000+/month) but there is no way I would even think about living on my own. </p>
<p>Just deal with having other people using the same bathroom. A college won't have personal bathrooms so if it means that much to you then have fun renting your own place.</p>
<p>so the kid wants a private bathroom. he's perfectly entitled. though theres no chance he'll get one at the UC schools.</p>
<p>everyone i know who is going to a UC is in a one-room triple. so... very unlikely.</p>
<p>I've found that most communal bathrooms I've seen are actually really, really clean. Since students are going to be using the bathrooms just as they would at home, the standards of cleanliness are much higher than than they are in a typical public restroom.</p>
<p>Okay whatever I want my privacy and that's all I care about, either you guys accept it or don't say any bs, and I know some dorms at the UC's have single dorms.</p>
<p>Yes but that in no way implies that they have private bathrooms. And I don't know about UC's specifically, but getting a single freshman year may be difficult. I doubt they are going to buy, "I am anti-social" as a valid excuse.</p>
<p>If you need privacy, as in long periods of by-yourself-time, just don't waste your time or resources and commute. That's your solution.</p>
<p>A good friend of mine will be a freshman at UCLA this fall and he's in a single but it won't be a private bathroom. Even suites have shared bathrooms. All my other UCLA friends are in triples, the one in the single was just a fluke because they messed up and thought he was a transfer and didn't give him housing originally. He's furious and is frantically trying to change to at least a double... why miss out on all the fun of meeting new people? And isn't college about learning to adapt to new situations, meet new people, etc?</p>
<p>your friend will be fine. those "singles" are tiny and adjacent to 4 other singles, with shared common area and bathroom.</p>
