<p>Which colleges have private bathrooms in dorm rooms?</p>
<p>I know McGill's new rez does, and UConn has plenty of suites where you share a full bathroom with the room next to you.</p>
<p>NYU has them!</p>
<p>Are more likely to be private bathrooms at small liberal arts colleges than at larger universities??</p>
<p>USC's Parkside Suites and the Radisson have them.</p>
<p>Olin College of Engineering does.</p>
<p>Princeton has some.</p>
<p>GW usually does.</p>
<p>You could always just commute...I have a private bathroom in my own home!</p>
<p>private bathrooms suck, i love community ones. so much better</p>
<p>Vinny has a point... if you have a private bathroom, you'll have to be sure you have time to clean it regularly (and that your roommate(s)/suitemate(s)/housemate(s) do the same) or it will get pretty disgusting (even dangerous) really fast. (For example, my suitemates this year never cleaned the bathroom as we had layed out at the beginning of the year, so around March, I finally went in with some chlorine bleach and killed every living organism in that bathroom--it worked, but our dorm smelled like the back room at a swimming pool for the next 2 weeks!)
Additionally, community bathrooms facilitate community (without them, dorms can be much less active) and private bathrooms require you to buy your own toilet paper, cleaning products, etc.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the feedback!</p>
<p>I used to disinfect the public bathroom :-)</p>
<p>Seriously, whenever I'd take a number two and had to sit on the seat, I would wipe it down with Clorox antibacterial wipes. Sometimes I'd use them in the sinks as well.</p>
<p>You take wipes whenever you go out?</p>
<p>I use disenfectant spray, the commercial stuff, like $15 a bottle, that my mom gets from work. let it sit for 50 seconds and I wipe and go.</p>
<p>I also when I take showers, 2 times a weak I get into the janitors closet and take bottles of ammonia or bleech and sanitize the shower I always use. The stuff does the cleaning for you almost.</p>
<p>You guys are WAY too obsessed with sanitation!</p>
<p>...Research has repeatedly shown that over-sanitation at a young age actually stunts immune system development! hmm... might this impact our chances of not only getting pathogenic diseases but also other diseases such as cancer?</p>
<p>Does a private bathroom really affect your decision that much?</p>
<p>private bathrooms are sweet, but there can't be all that many colleges with them :(</p>
<p>University of Chicago has some</p>
<p>Actually...most colleges probobly have SOME by now. I dont think any school is all private though there might be a few that are all communal still.</p>
<p>It's not that big an issue really. Communal bathrooms are actually kinda cool as a way of interaction and they are cleaned for you. the only real benefit I find with having private bathrooms right now is it basically extra space for my room. Not everything is right to be kept in a bathroom but some things make sense to keep in there and then they dont take up space in your room like they otherwise would.</p>
<p>apumic: the hygeine hypothesis isn't that conclusive.</p>
<p>ottothecow: all bathrooms at olin are private.</p>
