<p>I know it may be weird to ask, but how are the bathrooms? Are there stalls for showers or is it like a prison or something?</p>

<p>Also, how many people tend to be in the lower level classes?</p>

<p>of course there are stalls for showers lol. and most people who live in dorms are freshman with a good number of sophs too.</p>

<p>Dorms are great, if a bit expensive. Many bathrooms in the units are coed, but you get used to it. There really isn’t anything to be nervous about.</p>

<p>Of course there are stalls. If you don’t want to share the bathroom with the opposite gender you can choose a single-sex floor within the dorms.</p>

<h1>of people in “lower level classes” can vary from major to major, but you can check class sizes for said classes on schedule.berkeley.edu</h1>

<p>Darn it! I wrote a long reply and my internet disconnected! Basically I said they’re really good unless ur Angelina Jolie’s son but even then, you might like it!</p>

<p>Doesn’t Angelina Jolie adopt poor africans, in which you are saying the dorms suck?</p>

<p>also, do classes ever get to 500 people. I am choosing between Berkeley and McGill. One of my turnoffs for McGill is their intro are 600 people, but if Berkeley is the same, then that won’t be a factor</p>

<p>Unit 3 has the nicest bathrooms, in my opinion. But the bathrooms in Units 1 and 2 are fine, too. They’re cleaned nearly every day. I’ve never had a gross experience in them.</p>

<p>What does coed bathrooms mean? Does it mean that in a regular bathroom, there are both men and women using that one single bathroom all at the same time?</p>

<p>Are dorms coed? Can you request a coed roomate?</p>

9

<p>yes, sometimes we have 1000 people in classes. we have to split lectures into 2 sessions, morning and afternoon. unfortunately, no one goes to the morning ones so EVERYONE goes to the afternoon ones and every single seat is taken up pretty much. quite a few people are actually left standing.</p>

<p>coed bathrooms mean that both men and women can use the bathroom at the same time. In Unit 3 (where I lived freshman year) has 5 stalls and 5 showers. Some toilets were designated standing only and some were sitting only. Some of the showers did not work properly. Halls are coed except Stern (girls) in Unit 1 and Bowles (guys). Most floors are coed with a few exceptions. You cannot request a coed roommate from what I know. They may accidentally put you with a person of the opposite gender though haha.</p>

12

<p>as anyone been sexiled before?</p>

13

<p>You can request a roommate of the opposite sex if you live in the Unity (LGBT) Theme House in Foothill. It’s open to anyone of any gender and any orientation.</p>

14

<p>Are the showers located inside private stall/curtain? Or is everything out there for communal use (similar to a locker room)?</p>

15

<p>Does anyone have an opinion on which dorm is the most luxurious one? For me cost doesn’t matter as my scholarship pays for it =D</p>

<p>And am i correct to say that freshman can’t get single rooms? =(</p>

16

<p>So, we are supposed to get undressed and into a towel and then go into one of the shower stalls? I don’t understand where we’re supposed to undress - is there space in the shower stalls to undress and put our dirty clothes?</p>

<p>Kind of surreal looking at frosh questions, I feel old…</p>

<ul>
<li>repeat, showers are in private stalls</li>
<li>frosh are very unlikely to get single rooms (unless due to disabilities). Most luxurious would probably be the minisuites in Unit 1</li>
<li>within the shower stalls there is a partition (long curtain), on one side there is the actual shower and on the other there is a shelf, hooks etc. Though to be honest after a while most of us just walked between our rooms and the shower in bathrobes/towels. There are also lockers in the bathroom so you can keep shower stuff in there and not have to carry them every time</li>
</ul>
