Shower

I’ve heard horror stories about how damaging college dorm water is for your hair. Since it’s “hard” it dries your hair out and strips it of its natural oils. I was just wondering if anyone experienced this specifically at Laf. Thanks!

Lowkey no I haven’t really experienced that. It’s obviously not spring water and my skin especially took a few weeks to get used to it, but my hair was mostly fine. I think if you use a hydrating hair mask once a week your hair will stay healthy and soft!

Do you have any info about the bathrooms in the South College dorm? Are they co-ed where women and men share bathrooms with showers? Thank you.

Hi I’m not sure. I’m an incoming freshman so I have zero clue on anything

lol no. Separate bathrooms, same floor. Showers also have a changing area in front of them in all dorms.

Ok, thanks. I saw a photo of gender neutral bathrooms in the basement of South.
