<p>Somehow...while reading this thread, I was getting the impression that you guys were shaving your legs :P I guess I just mixed up the girl and guy talk!</p>

<p>Really I would like to know what percent of ladies shave the armpits and pubes.</p>

<p>^ Joking right?</p>

<p>Umm... shower?</p>

<p>I guess it must be a girl thing to shave everything in the shower. Everyone I know sticks to the shower to shave unless they are using an electric razor. It's not that hard to do, and with armpits it makes sense because it's just a quick swipe after soaping up everyday, no cream even needed. As for 'other' areas, being a girl one already knows how to move and raise legs in the shower without touching the gross walls or anything because it is practiced for years before college through leg shaving so I can see how a guy could be lost on it. Just stick to the shower, you'll get used to it over time.</p>

<p>are bathrooms coed?? sorry to sound dumb...</p>

<p>It depends on where you go, dramakitty, but in general, there will always be single-sex bathrooms available. My school has no coed bathrooms, for example, but many schools are starting to offer "gender-neutral" bathrooms.</p>

<p>Do you know about UCF? UF? NCF?
Not that it's a big deal. I wouldn't want to be like on the tiolet or something and have some guy walk in ;( lol but with showering and stuff who really cares much...</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that, even in coed bathrooms, the stalls have doors.</p>

<p>The lack of privacy is going to be one of the biggest transition issues for me. I live in a triple with a private bath, but I'm incredibly uncomfortable around strangers and doubly so if I'm going to be sharing space with them. </p>

<p>I mean, how do you get around needing to fart or using the bathroom to ****? I know that everyone does it, but it's not something that people advertise. I'm serious when I say that these problems have been on my mind since summer started, and I still don't know how you're supposed to deal with them... Any thoughts?</p>

<p>... uh just go into the bathroom take care of business and spray some air freshener tadah!</p>

<p>Tweak your roomate out on the first day. When he/she's not looking, sneak a watermelon into the bathroom, then drop it into the toilet from 4 feet up, grunt loudly, and go "aaaah that felt goood" =)</p>
