Shared rooms & Communal showers: What is the honest reality of freshman dorm life for guys?
I’m planning to live on campus when I go to college because I want the full experience instead of just going home to sleep every day. do you recomend it or not??? I'm really curious about what it's actually like.
For the guys who have lived in shared dorms: what are your craziest, funniest, or most awkward experiences sharing a small room with another guy? With practically zero privacy, how do you guys adapt to things like changing clothes or just getting used to seeing each other around all the time?
Also, a quick question about the facilities: were the showers in your dorm individual stalls or communal? Which setup do you think is better for freshman year? Men only please, thanks!
