Wildest Bill, perhaps you should go to a high school and see the girls’ rooms there. The ones at my school are ancient and horrendous, especially in the gym locker room.
There are three stalls. Stall #1 no longer has a door. Stall #2 has a door but no lock–if you kick the door you can manage to jam it shut. It used to have a weird seat that was about a foot tall; all the girls were afraid to use it. Luckily, I noticed that this seat has been removed recently. Stall #3 has a 6-inch gap between the door and the wall, so if a girl is lucky, a friend can stand with her back to the door for her friend while she does her business. Every restroom has these terrible tiny paper towel-like things to use for toilet paper.
The restrooms at college are just as bad, if not worse. If you’re going to live in dorms, you will soon discover the horror that is the shared bathroom.
I spent 3 weeks this summer at a college and believe me the bathrooms are much worse than the ones at high school…where I was there were four stalls. #1 and 3 did not shut at all. #2 had a huge gap between the door and the wall, and #4 was the only one that had a working door except it was all the way up to the wall and it was in a wierd shaped corner so it got all narrow towards the back.
And if you think the bathrooms at high school are bad, imagine a shower that bad … ugggggghhhh just thinking about it is so gross!
Also with couches the only places I have seen them is in nice departments stores and at our local “country club” (yeah right)
Ah. I see that my previous post to this thread didn’t go through. Here it is:
A friend of mine in college was so fascinated by the lavish women’s restroom in one of the buildings that she held a teaparty in there. She actually tried to reserve the room, and sent out invitations (to girls only). Yes, she’s a bit strange, but in that lovably cute way.
I never saw the restroom in question, but the men’s room of the same building (the Rice Memorial Center at Rice University) was at least a couple of notches above the bare concrete, exposed plumbing, filthy urinal standard.
The bathrooms in my residential college were shared only between opposite rooms (rather than an entire floor), so they were clean or dirty depending on the residents.
