There are 11 levels in the Tower Block, and I know levels 8, 9 and 10 are for girls, and level 3 is for boys. Perhaps the higher levels are for girls and the lower levels are for boys?... Apparently it is ok for girls to visit boys rooms and vice versa from 8am to midnight (with the permission of the roommate), however this means that I don't feel comfortable walking from my room to my floor's shared bathroom in my pajamas because a guy could be lurking in the hallway >_<.
The floor has 9 rooms, with two girls to a room. However, for these 18 girls there are only two showers, two toilets, and a disabled toilet in the bathroom. However, the bathroom itself (space in front of the showers) is HUGE, like 5m by 5m, with lots of mirror space and 4 sinks. Question: Why couldn't they put more toilets or showers in? The showers are very small - about 1 to 1.5m wide by about 2.5 long. There is a shower curtain to divide the shower from the small area that I assume is the place to be kept dry and to get changed in. But this is what makes me laugh. In our Orientation Booklet they make explicit reference to privacy. Quote:
"Many local students, especially females, are extremely modest and prefer to undress only in complete privacy. They will expect equal consideration from you. It is a good idea, therefore, to discuss about this early with your roomate and arrive at an agreeable arrangement."
There is NOWHERE to be private, except for the tiny shower cubicle.
Regardless, the bathroom is very nice and new and shiny, and we are allowed to use the bathrooms on the other girls floors also if ours if too busy.
