Drake Admission

As you start to think about your packing list for college, let us take you on a tour of a communal bathroom and share some of our essential items. Communal bathrooms are typically separated by gender, with options available for trans and non-binary students. •We recommend a shower caddy that is easy to tote around where you can store all of your bathroom items. •Shower shoes are also a must-have when using communal showers just to keep your feet off the floor. Any rubber shoes like flip-flops will work. These don’t have to be the nicest shoes in your collection! •Next up is a towel wrap or towel set, with an over-the-door hook to hang it up in your room to dry after youre done so it doesn’t get moldy. •Toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash with a loofa or soap, face wash, and any other shower product you like to use. •If you style your hair, you’ll also want a hair styling station where you can easily store your blow dryer, hair straightener, curling iron, or other heat tools. •Finally, dont forget your tooth brush and toothpaste! Communal bathrooms aren’t as bad as the stereotypes as long as you’re respectful of the shared space. One tip: find out when the busy times are and try to plan your showers on the downtimes to increase your chances of getting your favorite stall. And trust us—you’ll have a favorite stall! #residencelife #collegelife #communalbathroom #communalshowers #collegebathroomtour #bathroomtour #bathroomtourchallenge #collegebathroom #collegebathroomcheck #studentlife #goingtocollege #college #university #edutok
