Privacy here is a luxury that no one can find. It is impossible to get away from other people, even going to the restroom or showering. I miss having solitude to read and relax in.
It took a lot of getting used to, sitting on the toilet with a view of the whole dorm and four other guys in the restroom with me. It's still very weird to sit there and have someone right by your side getting hot water from the hot pot. Lots of guys hold conversations while they're back there. That's a little too well-adjusted for me.
Our showers are better than any other unit I've been at - they are single stalls with half doors. However, you are still in full view of the entire dorm. That is definitely the strangest thing about the dorm. Lots of guys sing to themselves in the shower and the sound carries easily to the bunk area. The community living here takes some major adjustment that I'm still not comfortable with.
