College can be tough given the adjustment to a new environment and unfamiliar places, but along with these challenges come a seriously-overlooked matter — bladder shyness. This secret phobia affects many on campus and this article goes out to all those who need guidance on where to go for your private business.

1. KTSA second floor gender-neutral bathroom


This bathroom is in a perfect corner — adjacent to the Edwin Barnett Lab Theatre but private enough so you can mosey in and out with the utmost confidence. This single bathroom is all the rage: ample space, large mirror, functioning toilet, and paper towel dispenser. The lighting is suitable for all selfie-taking Hamiltonians and quick primping. KTSA can be a hike, especially for non-thespians, but it’s worth the commute.

2. Sadove second floor bathroom

After buying a plethora of overpriced snacks or Hamilton swag at the Bookstore, the Sadove bathroom is perfect for you to either cry in private over your empty wallet or actually use the bathroom. Equipped with three stalls, this bathroom is spotless, and every time I’ve gone in, there’s always been a free stall. In short, this bathroom is dependable in case you have high level business after Diner’s mac-n-cheese Wednesdays.

3. Bathroom across from the Annex (Tolles Pavilion)


If you really want some privacy and are willing to go down a dimly lit, slightly scary hallway, this is the bathroom for you. Just know that all lavatory-related facilities are there. The Annex’s bathroom is perfect for walking in and out incognito.

4. Women’s bathroom below McEwen


Hidden perfectly between the McEwen stairs and a janitorial closet, this Darkside bathroom is quite discreet as well. Upon entrance, you’re met with a long-mirrored vanity at eye-level, perfect for resting your backpack and walking through the doorway to the toilets and sinks. You might be wondering, “Why bother mentioning this bathroom? It is not very private and commonly used by students.” Just remember one thing: location, location, location! This bathroom is perfectly situated for a quick hand wash before lunch or post-lunch relief and is close to KJ or Wellin Hall so you’ll be able to rush to class or back to the thrilling show you’re watching.

5. Suida House — Office of Admissions bathroom


And last but definitely not the least, the Admissions bathroom. A college’s admissions building is a prospective student’s first glance at a school and is pivotal in shaping a positive viewpoint. Therefore, if you feel your business is bougie, go to the Admissions bathroom.
