Will a communal vs semi-private bathroom be a major factor in your dorm selection?

The Co-ed communal bathrooms really aren’t that hard to get used to.

I think it is better to have like 4+ showers and stalls for 30 people than like 1 or 2 showers and stalls for like a small suite of 8-12 people. It seems there were fewer times when everyone was using all the shower stalls.

The only thing I missed was having urinals (but you don’t get those in the smaller bathrooms either).

Also the fact that having a communal bathroom usually means you’re on a bigger floor is a plus as well. While having 8 suitemates is fine, nothing beats a group of like 20+ people who are all good friends.
