The heart of any campus is its bathrooms. We cry, we check our phones, we decompress all inside the bathroom. With a campus as small as ours, picking our favorites is easy.
We created this list based on these qualities: accessibility, proper plumbing, good odor, nice natural lighting and privacy.
#5 Giovale Library basement
The men’s and women’s bathrooms offer extra privacy with a small hallway separating two doors of entry. Feel free to talk shit about your roommate here. They’re also both odorless AND have good lighting. Feel free to take selfies here. However, there is not an all-gender restroom nearby. Feel free to leave your non-binary friends at home.
#4 Meldrum Science ground floor
“You can throw a party in there, you could shower in there, there’s lockers for your stuff. It’s an amazing bathroom,” said Hayden Cheney, senior neuroscience major. What bathroom is he referring to, you may ask? The ground floor of Meldrum, of course! This bathroom provides the perfect place to cry or kiss your sneaky link, AND it has fancy dyson hand dryers.
#3 Malouf Hall basement
“[This] one is really nice, it’s hidden, no one is ever in there,” said Julian Elia, a junior environmental science major. It’s a good place to cry, so keep that in mind for your next crash out.
#2 Foster Hall second floor
I can personally attest to the beauty of this bathroom. I have made numerous TikToks here. If your class is extra boring, you can go to the Foster bathroom and stay as long as possible; the view of the parking lot makes it worthwhile. Make yourself feel better by taking mirror selfies with the natural sunlight.
#1 L.S. Skaggs Integrated Wellness Center
It’s the cleanest, freshest bathroom with top to bottom doors on each stall. Private and sound proof! You know what to do! No notes. Except it is a far walk from the center of campus, and there’s not any natural light.
Last and very least, out of all the horrifying bathrooms, this one is the worst.
#1 Charles H. Dick ground floor
“For three of the [past] four weeks, in Dick, there has been blood in the bathroom. It’s disgusting,” said Hayden Cheney, senior neuroscience major.
“Also, I’m all for the bros but not having a divider between urinals can make you feel a little too vulnerable. While my classmates have always been respectful of my personal boundaries, someone could take advantage of that opportunity,” Cheney said.
As for the women’s bathroom in Dick, the toilet in the small stall has NEVER once properly flushed and the ground has NEVER been dry, either. And, in the large stall, the toilet is so close to the wall. When your leg touches the cold stall a shiver will run down your spine.
Honorable mention to the bathrooms in Bassis for also being abominable.
“I hate [the] Bassis bathroom,” said Kale Davis, first-year, chemistry major. “[The] bathroom is horrifying.”
