<p>I was just wonder if any UR students could tell me, how comfortable you are taking communal bath. I looked at the Housing at the only thing I saw there for freshman and I think most sophomore are dorms without private baths. I mean how comfortable are people with this espically if you walk in when it's busy and you inenvirently see ten naked people showering. I'm not a purd, BUT I do have a problem if I have to see naked people everyday of same-sex showering. How do people get used to doing for a year, 2 years, and more?</p>
<p>I hope it is OK for the admission officer to pipe in about this, though I hope students will add to my comments. While there are hall bathrooms, there are not what I’d call communal bathrooms. There are private shower stalls in every hall bathroom–even in the locker rooms have private shower stalls. I’d be very surprised if you felt like there were a lot of naked people walking around. Most of time they’d have on a bathrobe or be wrapped in a towel when in the bathroom but not in the private shower.</p>
<p>UR Admissions is right on. I’ve lived in North Court and Lora Robins. My hall in LoRo had the biggest bathroom, and it had 3 toilet stalls and 5 shower stalls. In NoCo, the bathrooms are small, with 2/3 shower stalls and 2/3 toilet stalls apiece. I’ve lived in a dorm with hall bathrooms for the past three years, and have seen only one naked person, and that was leaping across the bathroom from a toilet stall to a shower stall. And that was abnormally weird. Happened last week actually. </p>
<p>Don’t worry about naked people. Towels and robes are the norm. Suite style living is also becoming more popular, as well, if hall living still seems a bit squicky. The most weirdest/grossest thing you’ll have to put up with (as a girl, if you’re a girl) is the drains getting backed up. But that gets fixed pretty quickly, usually.</p>
