<p>how do they work?</p>
<p>uhhhhh. Well. If it's not occupied, you walk in, sit on the toilet seat (or stand in front of it), do your business, flush, wash your hands, and leave.</p>
<p>one floor usually has one or two bathrooms (usually 1, two if it's a coed floor). there's between 2-10 stalls and/or urinals and around the same number of showers. depends on the size of the floor. usually a ton of sinks and counter space too.</p>
<p>is there a door to each shower ? or is there just a big row of showers on a floor?</p>
<p>depends on the college....
i think a lot of them have showers with shower curtains.
i stayed at a college [Babson College in Mass] for a week for this summer program. using the bathrooms wasn't too much of a problem... you just have to make sure to take showers when there's not too much people around [or else you will be waiting for a while].</p>
<p>they may have lockers in the room too</p>
<p>wear flip flops, please, wear those rubber...shooes</p>
<p>public toilets usually flush really hard, so watch out for the back spray it could contain your fecal matter! LOL</p>
<p>ewww!</p>
<p>most schools i have visited have one shower curtain, a little area to hang up your dry clothes and stuff, and then another curtain between that section and the shower. regardless, they're usually tiny and yucky.</p>
<p>When somebody I know was in college her group of friends would get dissected frogs from the lab and take the entire tray and hang it on the back of the bathroom door. Then they would hide in showers and wait for someone to come in and use that stall... some nice screams came out of that... but I dont think that's typical of a college bathroom, jsut thought I would share that story! :)</p>
<p>Shower in a swimsuit so no one will be able to see whatever it is that you are ashamed of.</p>
<p>now that i think about it, public coed showers aren't such a bad idea</p>
<p>A catholic university nearby has co-ed bathrooms (showers incuded). It's because when the dorms were built they weren't co-ed and now they are, so there's only one bathroom per floor.</p>

<p>... they could easily resolve that issue by making each floor one gender. I'm sure many schools have single gender floors.</p>

<p>Or they could do like they did in my dorm - have each floor be co-ed, but designate each bathroom in the building as a different gender. Like the second floor was the men's bathroom, and the third floor was the women's bathroom. So if you were a man on the third floor, you had to go down a floor to use the restroom.</p>
<p>or just have co-ed bathrooms like they do at Yale.</p>
<p>i don't see why coed bathrooms are a big deal. it's not like people run around naked.</p>
<p>id like coed showers ;)</p>
<p>I bet you do.</p>
<p>Well what guy wouldn't.</p>
<p>haha true that....unless you weren't a very good looking guy, and didn't want members of the opposite sex staring at your stark naked body</p>
