That's all I'm looking for really. The dorms don't have to be plush, just clean. I've been to some colleges where the dorms and bathrooms were a disgrace. And not because the students didn't clean them.

Yale, eh? I guess I'll give it a shot!

At WashU, the modern dorms have a private bathroom per 4-person suite, which the University cleans.

Oh! That sounds nice. That happens to be one of the schools I'm very interested in.

"Bryn Mawr College has the nicest dorms i think by princeton review."

This is one thing they got right. Lots of freshmen get their own rooms, too.

You may want to consider Wesleyan. The goal seems to be to get kids out of orthodox dorms as soon as they are old enough to manage their own households. By junior year, you stand an excellent chance of having a kitchen and private suite-style bath. By senior year most kids are living in their own university-owned and furnished houses:

Excellent!
I added Wesleyan to my list some time ago. This gives me all the more reason to want to attend.

UChicago is similar to Wesleyan in regards to housing. All freshman stay on campus but the housing options are extremely diverse (large dorms - typical doubles, communal bathrooms, closer to campus or small dorms - some with singles, some private bathrooms, usually farther away, some are very apartment like). As the years go up, less students stay on campus, and more move into off-campus residential apartments very near to the school, sometimes closer than the "on-campus" options.
