^Totally seconding the irritation of cleaning schedules interfering with my ability/need to take a shower. That was one thing that made me so very happy I was moving into apartments for my sophomore year, haha. The cleaning crew for my floor was really nice, at least, but I was always a little miffed when I woke up and saw the ‘closed for cleaning’ sign out. The floor above me, for whatever reason, was filled with the messiest people on the planet, so their bathroom was always disgusting. I’d go to the floor below, and occasionally got lectured by the cleaning crew for that floor that I should ‘go up’ because I was from the upper half of the building that she was ‘not responsible for.’ I’d always politely nod and smile but still sneak down there, the RAs said she couldn’t keep me from using it as long as she wasn’t cleaning it when I walked in. ;)

Haha wow, that was an overly long rant about the cleaning of the bathrooms, but as you can tell, sometimes it really bugged me!

But showers were only an issue during cleaning, or if you and a few friends from your floor went to the gym… We’d race for the showers sometimes! But you just have to remember that the 30 people on your floor all have different schedules, most people don’t start at the same hour, and people are split between taking showers at night and in the morning. So it’s no big deal.

And, at least they replaced all the washers and dryers! The new ones are a lot better. But the elevators in the units may be the slowest elevators you’ll ever encounter! Haha.
