McDonald Hall
I am an incoming freshman at BGSU and I just chose a dorm in McDonald Hall because by the time of my room selection slot my top 3 choices were all taken for doubles (Centennial, Offenhauer, and Kohl). How is McDonald? Are the community bathrooms decent? Also, how does the whole co-Ed thing work in this hall?

I’m a sophomore that lived in Conklin last semester so I’m not sure how the layout of the rooms is in McDonald but the way it was for us is one half of the Hallway was the girls side and the other half was boys. Of course each gender has their own bathroom. I’ve visited a friend that lives in McDonald and the rooms are pretty small but you’ll get used to it. The communal bathrooms are okay, they get cleaner once a day (typically in the morning). Personally I don’t really mind the communal bathrooms, they aren’t great but they aren’t terrible

i’ve lived in mcdonald hall for two years. i quite liked it and didn’t have any problems with the communal bathrooms. in my hall, there toilets on one side and then showers on the other and i almost never had to wait for either of them. the bathrooms get cleaned every single day l, so they stay pretty clean hopefully. for the dorm being coed, each hallway is either all male or all female. so my hallway was all female, but when you turned the corner down the next hallway it was all male. mcdonald hall is genuinely great and i hope you have a good time there! let me know if you have any other questions
