Smell: There's a strangely blank smell here.
Lighting: Cream-colored walls give off a very pleasing shade despite the usually harsh fluorescent tone. Perfect for retouching your mascara
Resources: The only thing missing is that guy from the strip club bathroom who squirts the soap into your hand and hands you the towel when you're finished washing.
Privacy: Feel free to let out all your screams of pain: there's no one around for miles.
Best graffiti line: "Are you down for the Brown?"
PCC Opinion: Jeff Mendoza, a 24-year-old marketing and communications major was taken aback the moment he walked in. "I thought, 'Oh damn, the door can open by itself.' I was pleasantly surprised," he said.

Best?Location To Give a Swirly
T Building
Second Floor
Approximate location: Top floor next to that big garage door that I always wonder about
Number of urinals: 1
Number of sinks: 1
Dividers: None
Cleanliness: There's not a word in the dictionary that can begin to describe how nasty this bathroom is. The combination of intense sunlight beaming through the oversized window, and discolored floor and walls, probably makes this unloading station the grossest on campus.
Aesthetic Appeal: Appeal? Maybe the interesting graffiti can take your attention away from the aesthetics.
Visitor Traffic: This bathroom gets tons of traffic: students from the journalism, graphic communications and architecture programs usually frequent this rest stop. This bathroom is beyond its capacity.
Smell: If you love the smell of urine, this will be your dream come true. Sometimes it's so unbearable, using the women's room right downstairs (when there's no women present, of course) is a better bet.
Lighting: Natural light from the oversized window shines upon the tagged-up walls and mirror, stirring up thoughts about those unattended public bathrooms near the beach that everyone has no respect for except homeless people.
Resources: There's always hand soap (that's hard to tamper with) and extra paper towels on top of the cabinet next to the entrance.
Privacy: Small size, echo-enhancing walls, and a broken toilet stall door give this bathroom almost no privacy. Get in and get out.
Best graffiti line: Think of this space as an underrated art gallery: come by and enjoy.
PCC Opinion: Marcos Barajas is willing to walk across campus to get away from this toxic restroom. "I'd rather walk to the library's because this one's depressing," he said.

Instead of walking across campus just cross the bridge to the V building for the T option. The screen printers and/or art students need to stop painting with their pee all over the floor and use the toilet like college students, along with hogging the paper towels for their prints instead of cleaning hands (why else would the paper towels be running out.
