Prior to the loungewear birthday series, it is possible that the only reference there was to the bathroom situations in the dorms might have been Rook’s ceremonial vignette.
Rook mentions a shower room that they have in Pomefiore, and when he cannot use it, he goes to Floyd about using the one in Octavinelle.
This was maybe insinuating that each dorm has a shared shower room and that vice housewardens do not have private baths of their own, confirmed by Trey, who says:
…if I had a private bathroom. I’d like to put that in the survey, but I somehow doubt asking for a private washroom would fly…but couldn’t that be solved by furnishing every dorm room its own washroom? Then again, it would take too long to outfit every dorm room with a washroom. If I want it done while I’m still in school here…
And it has since been confirmed that housewardens also do not have private baths/sinks, with Vil showering in a shared space and wishing for showers and sinks to be installed in housewarden rooms.
The washrooms are maybe a shared space connected the actual showers, like those used for applying makeup and drying one’s hair in washroom areas in public baths?
Jamil also mentions a shared washroom for drying one’s hair, and Ruggie mentions people complaining about a lack of bathtubs, so it seems that maybe it is not a public baths/onsen situation and only a shared shower room.
The washrooms of NRC’s dorms:
Concerning the toilet room situation, it is possible that Ramshackle is the only dorm with a restroom that has been mentioned in-game at this time (removed from EN).
