<p>Top 20 schools have private bathrooms connected to dorm room right? With bath and shower?</p>
<p>I don't wanna share. Or have to pay more not to share.</p>
<p>I refuse to use a communal bathroom every day for four years.... >_></p>
<p>It varies. But I will tell you that private bathrooms are rarer than you think they are.</p>
<p>You sound like a spoiled brat.</p>
<p>As amarkov said, it varies. Some of the old schools have dorms that are falling apart. Some have communal bathrooms, some have double suite-style rooms where you and your room mate share the bathroom with another room, and rarely you may have a double with your own bathroom. Rarely, if ever, will a single have its own bathroom. Also, full baths are extremely rare and non-existent at most schools. Mostly only showers.</p>
<p>You can’t bring your maid either, porky.</p>
<p>In freshmen I got to use communal bathroom and I have to say the experience wasn’t pleasant… In sophomore year I got a 4-man room with 1 bathroom and it was really good. Now in junior year I’m living in a two bedroom on off-campus with one bathroom and it’s so much better :D</p>
<p>Hahaha i sound soo spoiled. But my parents make less than 70k a year together, so no, not really.</p>
<p>And I’m not fat. I’m almost underweight. I try to gain weight by eating things like delicious bacon but it doesn’t work.</p>
<p>I just don’t like sharing bathrooms with 100+ people. I can handle like four-five.</p>
<p>Umm, yeah, that is kind of a stupid question. Sorry. As other people have said, you may find a school where a couple rooms or one suite shares a bathroom, but it varies, and I’ve never heard of a dorm bathroom that has a bathtub. </p>
<p>But I don’t get what the big deal is about using a communal bathroom. You’ve used public bathrooms before, right? And at my school, at least, it’s not like the bathrooms are dirty because they’re communal. Actually, I’ve been really impressed with how clean they’re kept. In my dorm, we have 9 girls sharing one bathroom, and it’s worked out fine. Sometimes more than one person wants to shower at the same time, but there are 5 other showers in the building, so it’s not a big deal.</p>
<p>If you really “refuse to use a communal bathroom for four years,” you can always move off-campus after your freshman year. But if I were you, I wouldn’t arrive at college demanding your own private bathroom. It will make you look snotty and spoiled to the other people in your dorm, and you won’t make many friends that way. Good luck!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, maybe if they didn’t work together and got their own jobs, they would be able to amass a larger household income so you could be spoiled. It is possible.</p>
<p>Otherwise it warms my heart that you are such a good sport about my obnoxious jibes.</p>
<p>P.S., if you can handle four or five people, I bet you could make a lot of money in the adult entertainment industry.</p>
<p>I go to Umich and almost all our dorms have shared, community bathrooms. I have OCD and even I don’t mind the bathrooms. You’ll get over it.</p>
<p>This was not “probably” a stupid question. It is the epitome of stupid questions. </p>
<p>Perhaps someone should suggest to Petersons that they add search criteria for bathroom privacy and the likeliness of ever getting a date – since these seem to be the two biggest concerns on CC.</p>
<p>Unless your parents can get you your own apartment off-campus, sorry to break it to you but most colleges have communal bathrooms =</p>
<p>You just have to get used to them. It’s not that bad. They are often clean (well, the ones at my school are thanks to the cleaning staff). And if you have some sort of insecurities over your body, you need to learn to toughen up and deal with it.</p>
<p>Either that, or go without showering for a whole semester (yuck) =</p>
<p>Sorry, but private bathrooms are pretty rare. And you won’t be sharing a bathroom with 100+ people…there’s generally at least one bathroom on each hallway of a dorm. Just learn to deal with it like everyone else.</p>
<p>Yes they are rare (and i have one :3, but i was only able to get it with the help of the DA head on campus). It depends on the school as well, some have suite style (like my school) or some have communal.</p>
<p>If you’re coming into a school as a freshman, expect to have to share a communal bathroom. It wasn’t my favorite part of the dorms either, but you get used to it and it’s really not that bad.
Sophomores and upperclassmen typically get the pick of rooms with private bathrooms (or suites that share one) - but it depends on your school. You can certainly call housing and ask, but don’t get your hopes up.</p>
<p>To be fair, when I was a high school senior I could not imagine the idea of surviving a community bathroom and refused to apply anywhere that didn’t offer suite-style living. I was envisioning like the open gym showers from movies. I had a little growing up to do, obviously, but what more can you expect from an 18 year old that has never experienced a shared bathroom scenario? I am paying out the nose for a private bathroom next year, but that is just because I am constantly sick and am tired of sleeping on a public bathroom floor. Otherwise the community bathrooms were great. They were cleaner than my parents bathroom at home and even though I share it with like 20 girls there almost never seems to be anyone in there when I want to use it anyway. And they aren’t like the open gym showers from movies. XD</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ew. I get your point, but even the oldest, crappiest school (accomodations wise) will at least give you a bed. Unless I’ve been going to some fancier-than-average schools, I don’t think that anyone will be expected to sleep on the floor!</p>
<p>Something I just thought of:
When I lived in the dorms, our floor bathroom had only 4 showers (I think there were maybe 30-35 girls sharing it) - so you learn that certain times of day are MUCH busier than others and you might have a line to wait in. As a result, I started showering either at night or in the early afternoon and usually was the only one in there.
So if being around others is part of the reason you’re concerned…you can easily avoid that.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but this is hilarious to me…</p>
<p>If you have a problem with a communal bathroom, you always have the opportunity to live off-campus. Depending on the college, you could even live off-campus starting your first year. </p>
<p>I still think that your choice of college should not have to do with whether or not you’re going to have to share a bathroom with someone.</p>
<p>I will say this, girls are nasty as hell.
When I lived in a dorm, the girls’ bathroom was always disgusting. Vomit in the sink, ■■■ smeared on the doors - I won’t even go into some of the grosser things I’ve seen.</p>
<p>On second thought, maybe you have a point.</p>
