#impactofrestrooms

[elizazachowicz]

Thinking a lot today about public spaces within college campuses and how they impact students. Not only do restrooms impact trans students due to a lack of gender neutral restrooms, but also how these restrooms appear. I remember in my undergrad, there were restrooms I would avoid, due to their quality. Whether it was a missing door or constant destruction. At first I chalked it up to my institution being a state school, and a lack of funding. However, now that I am on a huge campus with money I cannot even fathom, I am disappointed to have waited for a bathroom to finish the cleaning process only to find sticky floors and no soap. This is not my first bad experience with this particular bathroom, and unfortunately, I know it will not be my last. Is this nit picky, or is this an issue across the nation on college campuses?
