When going to the bathroom, especially number two, it’s essential to go in a comforting, clean, and private location for the best possible experience. Chaminade University has plenty of options on campus, but they don’t always provide the best experience for pinching a loaf.
Luckily, I’ve done the research and tested some of the most popular women’s bathrooms, based on cleanliness, space, foot traffic, and privacy. Here are the most popular dumping grounds, ranked from best to worst:
Top Floor of Eiben Hall Restrooms
The Eiben Hall bathrooms on the top floor are by far the most relaxing and sanitary bathrooms on campus that is prized by its privacy and cleanliness. These single-occupancy restrooms are located near the back stairs of the building.
As soon as you enter, you are surrounded by bliss and the faint scent of bleach. The lock on the outside of the door shows if the bathroom is occupied or available, so you’ll never experience the awkwardness of the door handle rattling by someone trying to enter while you’re in your most vulnerable state.
Sullivan Family Library Road Restrooms
The Sullivan Family Library restrooms, placed by the Information Technology Department, are tucked away next to Second Road on campus. These bathrooms are a hidden gem. They are secluded from the foot traffic of students in class, making them unfrequented.
They are single-occupancy bathrooms, which makes them an ideal location to enjoy your time atop the porcelain throne. The only downside is a poor ventilation system that causes certain aromas to linger, leading to this bathroom being placed at (chuckles to self) No. 2.
Clarence T.C. Ching Hall Restrooms
One of the cleanest bathrooms on campus is conveniently placed next to the Loo in Clarence T.C. Ching Hall. This small bathroom is well-kept, featuring wooden stall doors and bright lighting, which provides a comfort like no other.
However, this sanctuary is ranked low due to the foot traffic it receives and the small stalls. It can become claustrophobic, and seeing your academic advisors may cause discomfort. Nevertheless, these bathrooms are a great spot for a quick stop to the loo (see what I did there?).
Top Floor of Henry Hall Restrooms
The top-floor bathrooms of Henry Hall are adequate for relieving yourself. The most memorable part of this bathroom is the stairs that lead up to the long hallway of sinks after you open the door. Besides the hike it takes to get to the women’s restroom and all of the quirks of the layout, this bathroom is large, well-kept, and sanitary.
The lighting is neutral and inviting, and the water pressure in the faucets ensure an efficient wash. However, the five steps upon entry only add to the journey to simply use the bathroom, which some may not make in time.
School of Business Restrooms in Kieffer Hall
The School of Business bathrooms located in Kieffer Hall are a poor choice for answering nature’s call. Kieffer Hall is located in the top corner of campus, with only a few classrooms and offices.
The toilets in these bathrooms remain sanitized, but the ceilings, the tiles, and the sinks lack renovations. The ham-colored stalls are an eyesore, and the molded ceiling tiles encourage business to be done elsewhere. The Carlson Fitness Center is connected to these bathrooms, which creates a lot of traffic from gym-goers. These bathrooms should only used out of pure necessity.
