- An entire floor shares a communal bathroom and shower room that include private stalls.
- Bathrooms are cleaned by professional cleaning staff.
- Dorms Rooms in communal halls have a convenient sink in the room.
- Community residence halls tend to harvest a welcoming environment where residents feel comfortable leaving their door open which leads to fast forming friendships with floormates.
- This is a great solution for students with outgoing personalities or individuals looking forward to making friends.

- A typical Southeast suite consists of two rooms (doubles or triples) that share a bathroom and shower.
- Only suitemates have access to the bathroom.
- Suitemates are responsible for keeping the bathroom clean.
- Each suite has two sinks either one in each room or two in the bathroom. This allows roommates to share a sink.
