Um...I never took a shower without flip flops at school...ever.
In my first dorm, I was on the honors/engineering floor and we had an awesome cleaning lady (Miss Bonnie was seriously great) so our bathrooms never got gross or anything, but I still wasn't about to take my chances with the shower floors.
On the second floor of that dorm, though, the bathroom was so bad that a couple of girls actually moved to another dorm (different cleaning lady on each floor, obviously, and I dunno who didn't teach those girls better but yeah). I'm not trying to be gross or anything, but those girls left hair all over the showers and sometimes even used tampons and condoms in the little dressing area. Completely disgusting.
In my next dorm I was in a private room with a suit-mate (for only a quarter), and there was actually stuff growing in that bathroom. I don't know what was wrong with the girl that I shared the bathroom with, but yeah...grossness. She also seemed to have a problem with leaving hair all over the place. Too bad that seemed to be the least of her issues...glad I'm out of there.
In my university apartment that I'll be living in the next three years, on the other hand, the bathroom that I'll share with just one roommate (who, thankfully, is a good friend and a clean-freak) has been fairly well kept so flip flops will no longer be a necessary shower accessory. Yay!
So to answer your question more directly, there's a very good chance that flip flops are a good idea.
