Hey Tigers, we know you're excited about
moving to Mizzou and we're here to give
you an inside look on the bathrooms of
your new home.
[music]
If you flush out the facts,
you know that every bathroom at Mizzou
is shared. A community bathroom has multiple
stalls shared by 15 to 25 people.
That works out to be about
four people per stall.
It's true that suite style bathrooms are
shared by fewer people overall but
you're still sharing with four people.
[music]
It's up to you and your suitemates to
determine the schedule for using and
cleaning of the bathroom.
[singing]
I hope you enjoyed my soap opera, but you
won't have to worry about other people
hearing you sing in the shower.
Take it from someone who's lived
through the experience.
[student] I've never had to wait, not
once. It seems like everyone's schedules
work out to where people shower at
different times and some people shower
at night, others shower in the morning
and with the classes staggered, it's a...
You never have to wait for anything.
[music]
In suite style bathrooms you and your
suitemates are responsible for keeping
the bathroom picked up. Our staff will
come in once every two weeks to clean
and disinfect the bathroom, but if things
aren't picked up then urine big trouble.
Our staff won't clean the bathroom if it
looks like it's been hit by a tornado.
Our community style bathrooms are
cleaned and disinfected by our staff
daily. So the bottom line is you won't
have to worry about sharing germs
with other people on your floor.
That would be tear-able.
[student] You sometimes see
your friends but sometimes you do have
the bathroom yourself and there is
privacy and it's clean. I see them
clean it almost every day.
[music]
We're coming clean about privacy.
It's important to Res Life too. That's why
community bathrooms were designed so
that each shower stall is separate from
the rest of the bathroom by privacy dividers.

There are a few things you need
to know about suite-style bathrooms.
The first is that there's no outside
access to suite style bathrooms. The next
is that they're all lockable.
[lock click]
It's also important to note that you can't
lock out your suitemates. They'll have access
to your room as well as your bathroom.
[aside] Hey guys what's up?
This ensures that nobody accidentally
gets locked in the bathroom.
[music]
In addition to our community style
bathrooms, some of our Res Halls have
single private bathrooms on each floor.
These single private bathrooms have a
shower, toilet and sink, just like the ones
at home. Some of the bathrooms are
accessible from outside the hall much
like the ones at home and, depending upon
the building, some of the bathrooms are
accessible from inside of the community
bathroom. In Gateway, the community
bathrooms are all individual private
bathrooms. There are also three common
area sinks outside of each bathroom.
All the bathrooms are cleaned and
disinfected daily.
[student] I like the bathrooms here a lot
better than the ones with other
buildings because in other buildings they're
still setup in stalls like it's open to
everything. But here in Gateway, you go in
and there's a full door with a lock.
You close it, you're in your own private room.
[music]
Even with regularly disinfected
bathrooms, it's always best to wear
shower shoes in shared bathrooms. They
don't have to be anything special just
cheap plastic flip flops work great.
No matter what kind of bathroom you have
you should put your belongings together in a
caddy that you can easily take in and out
of the shower or bathroom with you.
[student] They clean them every day.
I always see people in there cleaning
them so it's not dirty by any means.
Oh yeah, no. You wear shower shoes.
Let's take a look at the different
bathrooms Mizzou has to offer.
[music]
Jalyn, filming this bathroom video has me
feeling rather pooped.
Hmm, sounds like you need to...
wash your worries down the drain.
I can't handle all this bathroom humor.
I gotta go.
Rachel, you never know what you got
til it's gone. Toilet paper's a good example.
