Does anyone know if both boys and girls share the same bathrooms in Sanford? I’m leaning towards choosing Sanford, but I just don’t want to be showering next to a guy or anything like that, lolol.

Also, details on Wright?

I’m not sure if I want to live in Wright or Sanford. Help D:

I lived in Sanford this year — go with Sanford.

The rooms are WAY bigger and the bathroom situation is (imo) better also.

All of the bathrooms in Sanford are gender neutral, so yes, anyone can walk in and use it. But they’re single stalls. I lived in room 145 and there were three bathrooms right near me. Two were private bathrooms where you walked in and locked the door behind you — no one else can come in while you’re in there. The other bathroom had two sinks and the toilet was in a separate stall that you could lock, but you could (and people often did) just lock the first door behind you and have the entire bathroom to yourself. Where as all of the bathrooms in Wright are also gender neutral but there are a row of like, 10 toilets and 10 showers and yes, you could very well end up showering next to a guy.

Since each Side of the Wright “L” has a different gender sharing the same bathroom, it is pretty unlikely you will end up showering with someone of a different gender unless you venture to other showers. Wright Hall’s renovations are beautiful, and living there was definitely one of the best experiences I had at Clark.
