For those of you who can't stand the idea of sharing a bathroom; it does suck. But it's not all bad. I was in the dorms last year, and I ended up on the worst floor out of all of the engineering dorms. I mean the people, not the bathroom. The bathroom was shared between about thirty some of us. Five showers, seven stalls, and eight sinks. Thankfully, someone was in there to clean the entire place multiple times a week. You learn to deal with it though. For me, I was just grateful I wasn't in the regular dorms. Scarred me for life, the one time I went in one.
For those of you who are nervous about it; don't be. Once you get going, you really get going. I was nervous, but very excited. I couldn't wait to move out. But once classes started, the work didn't stop until after finals. Of course, I'm majoring in aerospace engineering, which isn't exactly a walk through the park kind of major, but... However much work you have, it's fun. If you like what you're learning about, you'll enjoy it a lot. I know I am.
