What's a 'Community Bathroom'?

Community bathrooms are shared by the people living on the floor. Instead of having your own bathroom in your dorm room, there is an area usually in the middle of the hall that has about 5 toilets, 5 showers, 5 sinks. The number 5 is just a general number, it varies from school to school depending on the number of students living in the hall, number of community bathrooms per floor, etc. On single-sex floors, the bathrooms are single-sex. On co-ed floors, they may have one for each or they may be together, but not likely. I stayed in a place with community bathrooms for a summer program and they were fairly convenient. Its not like everyone takes their showers at the same time.
