It's funny--I always thought community bathrooms were part of the college experience. My freshman dorm, however, had it set up where every two rooms shared a bathroom. That was nice--and the custodians let us keep our stuff in the bathrooms. It was a nice surprise, but since we couldn't pick our freshman dorms it wasn't a big deal.
We were also required to live in the dorms for the first 3 out of our 4 years. About half the senior class lived off-campus. I stayed in the dorms, as did most of my friends and virtually all of my sorority sisters. The way I saw it was that I had the rest of my life to live "off-campus." I could walk to my classes and all the restaurants/bars, someone was cleaning my bathroom, and it was as high-security.
When I think of the "worst" dorms, I think of vermin, mold, elevators that don't work, ancient fire alarms that trip easily, out of date wiring (my freshman dorm didn't have that many plugs--maybe fine for the 1950s when it was built, but not so much for the late 90s), and the actual quality of life stuff. College kids today--ridiclously pampered!
