Clark C 2nd floor women’s: 2 1/2 flushes out of 5
Scent: 1
Available stalls: 3
Cleanliness: 4
Despite the air freshener, this is one of the worst-smelling bathrooms on campus. Sometimes stalls are even held up because of a cryer. Do yourself a favor and just avoid this bathroom.
Clark C 1st floor women’s: 3 flushes out of 5
Scent: 4
Available stalls: 1

Don’t bother going to the bathroom before a class starts; stalls are only empty in the middle of classes. This is also the bathroom with the heater that went up in smoke.
Lory Student Center main floor women’s: 3 1/2 flushes out of 5
Scent: 3
Available stalls: 5
Cleanliness: 2
Although the bathroom has motion-sensor sinks and hand-dryers, there are puddles all over the counter and floor with long hairs in them. The toilets flush when you don’t need them to, and then don’t flush when you need them to.
Natural Resources men’s: 2 flushes out of 5
Scent: 3
Available stalls: 1
Cleanliness: 2
While there is an abundance of urinals and sinks, this bathroom features a mere one stall. The tile and color scheme is reminiscent of an elementary school bathroom, and the somewhat dim lighting isn’t necessarily ascetically pleasing. Don’t count on the floors being the cleanest, and if you’re looking for a tranquil atmosphere, this cramped and random bathroom may not be the first place to go.
Clark A basement women’s: 2 ½ flushes out of 5
Scent: 2 ½
Available stalls: 4
Cleanliness: 2
In the maze-like basement of Clark A, the women’s restroom is a bit eerie, but it is almost always empty. There is no terrible scent, but the grimy floors and yellow lights are a turn off.
Morgan Library main floor men’s: 4 flushes out of 5
Scent: 4 ½
Available stalls: 1
Cleanliness: 5
While this bathroom is private, with a lock, one stall and one urinal, it feels like your own little studio apartment. It’s very clean and looks straight out of an HGTV show, with nice tile work and an elegant granite countertop. If you’re looking for privacy, this is one to shoot for.
Visual Arts women’s: 2 ½ flushes out of 5
Scent: 3
Available stalls: 3
Cleanliness: 2
An oddly arranged bathroom at best, the toilet seats are awkwardly tall and there is no mirror above the awkwardly low sinks. Paper towels are littered on the floor and small puddles gather in certain places.
Gifford 1st floor women’s: 3 ½ Flushes out of 5
Scent: 3
Available Stalls: 5
Cleanliness: 4
This bathroom may be old, but if you look past the rust on the stalls there are some definite positives to this bathroom. There are hooks that line the wall, perfect for hanging your coat or backpack, and they outnumber the stalls, allowing for plenty of room to hang your things. Also there are plenty of mirrors in this bathroom including a full length mirror which is always a plus in a women’s bathroom.
Behavioral Science Building 1st floor men’s: 2 ½ flushes out of 5
Scent: 3
Available Stalls: 2
Cleanliness: 2
The bathrooms in BSB do not quite match the rest of the state-of-the-art building. There is no lingering smell, but the floor is consistently lined with trash. This bathroom is used heavily so if you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful place to do your business, you might want to look elsewhere. It does, however, include a full-body mirror to check yourself out.
Engineering 1st floor men’s: 2 ½ flushes out of 5
Scent: 2
Stalls: 2
Cleanliness: 4
Not the best bathrooms on campus if you are claustrophobic, but other than how crammed things are, the facilities themselves are fine. It is usually on the cleaner side too. Don’t worry about finding any gross messes here.
