In hopes of attaining the best restroom experience possible, we visited each public bathroom on APU’s East and West campuses to see which is the best. Taking into consideration atmosphere and ambiance, each bathroom is ranked based on its smell, cleanliness, location and visual appeal. We have compiled a list of the top 18 toilets of APU.
18. Portable (near One Stop): Preceded by a crooked walkway and a sticky door, this four-stall bathroom is plain. The ambiance and paint chips are something out of one’s nightmares. 1/2 toilet.
17. The Den: Though the color scheme conflicts with itself, this two-stall restroom’s greatest feature is that it always faintly smells of french fries. 1 toilet.
16. Darling Library: While the library it belongs to is gorgeous, this two-stall bathroom is somewhat lackluster in comparison. 1 toilet.
15. Ronald: This three-stall bathroom is the victim of an outdated color scheme. The poor air circulation makes the room stuffy. 1 toilet.
14. Marshburn’s Outer Lobby: This is in the perfect location if one needs to use it after filling up on Naked Juice at Cornerstone Coffee. This one-person stall is fresh and incredibly well lit. 1 1/2 toilets.
13. Marshburn Interior: This odorless bathroom has tile that is outdated. While there are only three stalls, there is a conveniently located full-length mirror on the right side of the wall. 2 toilets.
12. Warren: Though this restroom only has two stalls and outdated tile, it makes up for these shortcomings in its ambiance. This pleasant atmosphere is provided by a countertop plant, abstract painting reminiscent of a neighborhood garage sale and the faint sound of a choir in the distance. 2 toilets.
11. The Dining Hall: Tucked in the back of the cafeteria, the four stalls of this bathroom are in great condition and are complemented by serene colors. 2 1/2 toilets.
10. Mary Hill: This bathroom’s greatest feature is its dual entrance, as it can be approached from opposite sides of the building to reach any six of its stalls. 2 1/2 toilets.
9. Felix Event Center: Though the ceiling is low enough to induce claustrophobia, this bathroom features nine stalls and is incredibly clean. 3 toilets.
8. Segerstrom: This six-stall sweet spot has earthy colors perfectly suited for its home in the science building. 3 1/2 toilets.
7. Duke (by Mail Services): A fan favorite, this nine-stall bathroom has a unique layout, high expectations and a high archway. 3 1/2 toilets.
6. Duke (near Theology Department): This conveniently located, spacious six-stall bathroom is perfect for a stop on the way to Christian Life, Faith and Ministry class. 4 toilets.
5. Heritage: This five-stall beauty is delightful and has a great array of blue hues. 4 1/2 toilets.
4. Wynn: This open, five-stall restroom is home to gorgeous tile, nice countertops and a fresh atmosphere. 4 1/2 toilets.
3. Wilden: The wall tile is so immaculate and the light fixtures are so ostentatious that the Queen of England would be comfortable using this restroom. This five-stall castle has an atmosphere of freshness. 5 toilets.
2. Building 1: This hidden gem is pretty enough to live in. Though the colors are more masculine, the lighting is perfect for selfies in the enormous full-length mirror. This incredibly clean four-stall restroom is nicer than most motels. 5 toilets.
1. Turner Campus Center: Perfectly located behind the East Campus trolley stop, this four-stall bathroom is ideal for use when you are not able to wait to return to your living area in time. This restroom features automatic lights, beautiful tile and a color scheme your mom has chosen for her dream beach house Pinterest board. The golden throne.
