Where do people shower in dorms?

If you're in a single-sex dorm you may have two bathrooms on your floor available for your use. If you're in a coed dorm, there may be separate bathrooms for each gender or shared bathrooms. In most dorms, bathrooms include multiple sinks, toilet stalls, mirrors, and separate curtained showers.

Taking a shower in the evening is another unwritten rule if the dorm room has a private bathroom that contains a shower, toilet, or sink. While you might love to take a shower in the morning, it's crucial to understand that this time of the day is one of the busiest in the entire hostel.
