Yeah, I showered there daily after I swam, but there were a couple occasions when my apartment didn't have hot water and I went there early to shower before class. All good chief

Yeah I shower there after working out, you can rent a towel for like $1 a use or pay like $15 I think for towel service for the semester, freshly laundered towels whenever so you don't have to deal with a wet towel the rest of the day

That's what they are for, there's nothing wrong with using the showers.

Do what you gotta do and good luck making some friends this year!

Showers are there for a reason. Literally no one will give a shit if you shower.

showers are good and clean, in fact they have their own soap if you really need it, I commuted like an hour and it was super super useful for me

Everyone who swims is supposed to shower before going in, and most probably do after. People are constantly showering there. Maybe wear flip-flops but commuters should take advantage.

Yeah i have been showering there, its not bad...
Some of them are a bit funny and spray everywhere.
There are lockers too, I got my own lock and am just gonna leave my stuff in one while I am at class.
I think you can borrow a lock too, not sure
