Using the bathroom on a college campus is never fun. For students who live in dorms, your large, private, clean and beautifully decorated bathroom might be what you miss most about home. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of better-than-subpar bathrooms that will undoubtedly improve your experiences on the john here at the Conn.
In no ranked order…
1. McMahon Dining Hall
This bathroom just gives off an essence of elegance. If you are tired of using your crappy (pun intended) dorm bathroom, swing by McMahon for an experience that will make you feel like a visitor at a fancy hotel.
2. Third floor of the Union
A widely-overlooked gem, these bathrooms are almost consistently vacant. If you’re someone who enjoys a little bathroom privacy, stop by next time you’re at the U.
3. Third/Fourth Floor of the Chemistry Building Teaching Wing
For a calm, quiet get-away. They also have showers in them if you decide you need to quickly bathe in between class?
4. The Benton
If for no other reason, there is usually music playing in this bathroom. If you’re using the loo at the same time as others, a good background tune can be an absolute godsend. Maybe you guys can all start jamming together!
5. Bookworms
If you’re a Homer B. habitant such as myself, you’d understand that the bathrooms on the actual library floors aren’t the best. Next time you have to go, take the extra time to check out the Bookworms bathroom. It’s weirdly spacious if you feel the need to do a quick pump-up for your next couple hours of studying, and there are so many stalls to choose from.
6. Hillel
This bathroom honestly never ceases to blow my mind. The black marble in there will make you feel like a Kardashian. Also, there is a wonderfully large mirror that you can use to give yourself a compliment. :)
7. Jones Building
Two big reasons: good selfie lighting and hand lotion. We all know how drying the harsh winters at UConn can be on our skin but most of us don’t carry around lotion. And as far as the lighting, if you ever feel like your Insta is lacking a bomb-a** selfie, the Jones building is a good place to start.
8. Oak Hall
If you’re strictly-business in the bathroom, Oak may be the perfect match. They’re always clean and everything is automatic. You can get in, get out and no one will ever even know you were there.
I sincerely hope this has inspired some of you to not lose faith in UConn facilities. We all know there is an excess of horrible, disgusting bathrooms on this campus – typically found in the residence halls. However, if you’re on campus and you feel the need to go, try one of these locations out I promise you will not be disappointed!
