That's assuming that they'll get their housing choice as freshman. Everyone wants a suite with a common room and bathroom. Triples still exist and need to be filled

There are plenty of colleges that are all suite style, or where you can guarantee a good dorm placement by registering early, or where the honors dorm is all suite style.

If not sharing a bathroom with people is a high priority, OP can make it happen.

I don't understand what you don't understand.

You have all gender bathrooms in your home, don't you?

Why is this puzzling for you?

Are you slow?

I suggest your daughter look into Liberty or another Christ-centered/conservative college.

I did in 1999. I lived in a women's dorm at Purdue. Men were not allowed on the floors past 10 pm and never in the bathrooms. What's your point here, exactly?

You are at a women's dorm. Apparently, your child is going to live in a co-ed dorm. Not sure what you expected.

I'm not the OP. Just pointing out that I did go to school in the 90's, and modesty existed.

Ask anon on the parents' FB page.

Hampden Sydney had literally one large tiled room with 10 shower heads on the wall. Zero partitans or curtains. It was single sex, so that part wasn't an issue but if you expected any sort of privacy while washing your privates, you were SOL

She is capable of going to college but hasn't figured out that lesbians use the women's room?

That is not a thing even in prisons much less college dorms.

Well she’s in luck then because no one expects you to share a dressing room or shower stall or toilet with anyone regardless of gender. You might meet someone of a different gender (or a lesbian!) while washing your hands the shared sinks but I feel like even the most homophobic among us should be safe doing that.

I'm glad this wasn't a thing in my freshman dorm. Can you imagine having your crush walk in while you're mid diarrhea blast and then recognize your shoes from under the stall door when he/she sees you later in the hallway?
