Does anyone have any inside knowledge?
There are
There are some threads on the Honors dorms. Many like them, and the community of honor students.
I just really dont like that there are community bathrooms lol
One thing to consider: you don’t have to clean a community bathroom. In suite-style housing, the residents are usually responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms. Which means the bathrooms often are pretty gross.
The fact that students have to clean their own connecting bathroom is one of the big factors I insisted that my son (current freshman Jester Community Bath) not get a connecting bath. I had a Jester Community bath when I was at UT decades ago and it was acceptable to me. It was always clean never crowded and I think my son told me he knew someone who had a connecting bathroom but used the community bath because it was clean. I believe they are cleaned twice a day. I peeked inside a community bath and was impressed that the shower doors were solid doors that locked. Not nasty curtains like back in my day.
