Hey everyone, slight germaphobe here 😅. I'm starting to think about colleges and dorm life, and if possible, I'd love to find a school with dorms that don't have communal bathrooms. Are there any colleges known for this kind of dorm layout? Thanks in advance!
Hey! I understand your preference for a more private bathroom situation in college dorms. While it's hard to pinpoint specific colleges known exclusively for having dorms without communal bathrooms since different dorms on the same campus can have different setups, there are some general options to consider:
1. Suite-style living: Some colleges offer suite-style dorms where you share a bathroom with a smaller group of people (usually 4-6), rather than an entire floor. Check each college's housing options to see if they offer suite-style options.
2. Apartment-style living: Some colleges have apartment-style dorms on or off-campus, where you'll have a private or semi-private bathroom, shared only with your roommates. Some colleges with a high percentage of apartment-style living include NYU, USC, and Northeastern.
3. Living Learning Communities (LLCs) and specialty housing: These housing options sometimes have unique setups, including private or semi-private bathrooms.
4. Colleges with newer dorms: Newer housing facilities at colleges tend to have more modern designs and accommodations, including non-communal bathrooms.
Keep in mind that options may vary at each college, and availability can be limited - especially for first-year students. When researching potential colleges, explore their housing websites for detailed information on dorm layouts and preferences. Good luck on your college journey!
