When you're accepted at most schools, you'll be given a choice as to whether you want to pay for just your education or your education plus room and board.

For those public school students who tend to walk into a Barnes and Noble and pick up a new paperback for fifteen dollars, the college bookstore can be a 1.21 gigawatt shock. Suddenly textbooks are going to cost you a full paycheck, and you're worried that you'll never be able to spend your Christmas money on anything fun again.
Fear not, although it's always nice to help out your school with a donation after you graduate, if you don't patronize the school bookstore while you're a student no one will hold it against you (they'll make plenty selling you mozzarella sticks and curly fries at 2am).…

Dorm life offers a number of challenges - how to eat well, how to get along with your roommate, how to drop Micro Economics 101 - but few are as potentially terrifying as dorm bathrooms. Especially co-ed dorm bathrooms.
