Guys Using Girls Bathrooms to Shower

Student Lounge College Life

So I only have two more weeks of school left, but guys have decided to start showering in the girls bathroom. It’s to the point where they won’t let anyone in the bathroom until they’re done showering. It’s getting really annoying and they’ve all been really rude to me because I went in there once, not knowing they had started using our bathroom, and one dude was in there in a towel. I wanted to know if this happens at other schools? I’m transferring after this year because I’ve had a really awful experience as a freshman here, but I’m scared these things just happen everywhere.

Also I don’t want to talk to anyone to get them in trouble because I understand that it’s college and everyone is just trying to have fun. I’ve put up with them screaming and knocking on everyone’s door at 1 a.m., them taking radios into the hall and playing music so loud it vibrates the floor, etc… (Part of the reason I don’t complain, if the RA doesn’t care about those I doubt me saying anything will change things, probably just make people on my floor hate me more).

Why are the guys doing this? Is there something wrong with their bathroom?

I don’t think this is normal dude

If your dorm has gender segregated bathrooms and men are using the women’s and being rude when questioned, REPORT IT! Report it to the RA, or even Residence Life.

  1. Report it to the RA. At the actual time it is occurring.
  2. If they do not do anything, go to the Office of Housing/Residential Life and talk to them
  3. It may be the guys shower is having a problem and they have not reported it/mtaintenance has not come. Or it may be they are a pain.
  4. Always go through the regular chain of command at an institution…don’t assume someone won’t do their job, but if they don’t, go to the next level (who will ask, did you tell your RA)

Agree with @bopper completely. And hate to say it, but the rest sounds like a typical frosh dorm from my day. Do your best to stay out of dorms that house mostly frosh at your next school.

Some college dorms have coed bathrooms.

Seems like you happened to get some really poorly behaved other students in the dorm, even by rowdy frosh male standards.

Agreed with the advise above. There was a guy showering in my freshman common bathrooms way back, (someone’s boyfriend) but he was not being obnoxious about it. Polite, covered up, kept it moving.

There is something off about these guys taking over and being rude. You don’t have to deal with that. Report it now so that you can do your finals in peace.
