The Math Half of the Clendenin Building

★★☆☆☆

I don't know if you've ever been in the Clendenin Building but it encompasses both the Math and Science departments. AKA it is a big A building (pardon my letters). Due to the fact that the building is really made up of two buildings Joel N. and I have decided to separate the two buildings into their own ratings. So let's focus on some math.
The Math building features a measly three bathrooms. This number is just far too low and increases the amount of traffic significantly. Traffic rating of 2/5. The bathrooms were newer on the other hand featuring nice burnt orange counters and automatic soap dispensers. I know burnt orange counter tops sound awful, but give 'em a chance. Atmosphere rating is 4/5. That being said the only automatic amenities in this building are the soap dispensers and you have to use paper towels to dry your hands. These bathrooms also had the user in mind with incredibly private bathrooms. Not a lot of space between the door on the stalls, and adequate dividers between the urinals make you feel almost at home. Privacy rating is 4/5.  The bathrooms weren't clean. They were bad. Cleanliness rating 2/5. These bathrooms are not filled with glory, but there was some graffiti. Not the kind of graffiti that makes you chuckle because deep down inside you still think like a middle school boy, but the kind that makes you thankful that there is a toilet next to you so that you don't have to go too far to puke. Graffiti rating 1/5 for vulgar graffiti.
Overall the Math half of the Clendenin Building is not great. Overall rating of 2/5. If you're already there, go for it, but don't waste your time walking to that building for the bathrooms, or classes really.. nobody really likes math. Just sayin'.

Math and Statistics Building

★★★☆☆
The Math and Statistics Building on the
campus of Kennesaw State

The beginning of a journey that will excite, and slightly terrify those involved. The Gentlemen's Almanac to KSU has begun with the Math and Statistics building. Located just off of the student center the Math and Stat building features three bathrooms, which is one per floor.
The bathrooms were not filthy, but were not very clean either. Unflushed toilets, toilet paper on the ground are just a few of the reasons these bathrooms received a cleanliness rating of 3/5.
Because there are only three bathrooms for all three floors of this building the bathrooms can become heavily trafficked. Traffic rating is 2/5.
The Math and Stat building just feels old. Especially the bathrooms which feature a limited number of automatic amenities (just sinks on the 3rd floor) and these bathrooms are stuck in the stone age with paper towels to dry your hands. Atmosphere rating of 2/5. There is no graffiti and none of the restrooms are full of glory, if you know what I mean.. so there is nothing to fear in this building. The biggest downfall of the Math and Stat building bathrooms is the lack of privacy. The stall are decently private but the urinals have no divider between them. If there was an eighth deadly sin, no divider between the urinals is definitely in the running. Privacy rating of 1/5.
Overall rating is 3/5. Don't avoid them, but certainly don't go looking for them either.

Burrus Building

★★★☆☆

To begin this comprehensive analysis of Kennesaw State Universities bathrooms, Joel P. and I have decided to start with the familiar.
Burrus building has a fair number of bathrooms, with only one per floor, all of them have a sufficient number of stalls and urinals at around 6 per bathroom. The Burrus bathrooms did not fair so well in the department of cleanliness and atmosphere, the bathrooms seem dark, clustered and kinda filthy. The good thing is that the bathrooms in Burris never seem too crowded, despite so few bathrooms in the building. 
All-in-all we would give the Bathrooms in Burrus 3/5 stars, don't avoid them but certainly don't go looking for them either.

Pro tips: the third floor has the best bathroom, the lowest amount of traffic besides the fourth floor (which is always pretty gross). You may find "privacy locks" on the bathroom doors in Burrus, so if you really need a whole bathroom to yourself go ahead and flip the lock, but expect some consequences.
