2 shower stalls, 2 toilet stalls, and 3 sinks for 12-14 girls in the hall. I've never seen both showers being used at the same time and have never had to wait for a toilet or sink. The bathroom is always clean and the cleaning staff is kind. My single room is more than enough space for me and the desk and dresser combine for one long desk space. The bed isn't too high and I can put plastic dressers underneath. The window is a good size and opens with a permanent screen. West building has a large bright laundry room and East has an alright one. There's a full kitchen in East lobby and food and drink vending machines that take BuckID, credit, and cash/coins. You need to swipe your ID to get into the building and each room has a physical key. Packages go to the front desk, mailboxes are in the lobby, and there's a printer in West lobby. The building is across the intersection from the union which has the Union Market, Sloopy's Diner, Woody's Tavern, and Espress-OH Cafe (my favorite places to eat/ cafe on campus). It's down the street from the Kennedy Traditions dining hall, Mirror Lake Eatery (like Cane's), and 12th Avenue Bread Company (sandwiches and coffee) - all within a five minute walk. Also within a short walk is South Rec (the south campus gym) and dozens of restaurants on High Street. Within a 10 minute walk south is another marketplace, multiple coffee shops, CVS (takes BuckID), on campus Starbucks, and a couple restaraunts. The South Oval is the view from my window. There is a bus stop in front of the Union where busses come every few minutes that go all across campus. There are bike parking spots in front of and behind the building. There's a courtyard behind East, West, and a large yard with volleyball next to the building and basketball courts a block south.
