University College

★★☆☆☆
University College a building for introducing new and transfer students to Kennesaw State University is located between the Library and the English building.

For a building introducing new students to KSU, University College does not try impress anyone with its bathrooms. The buildings bathrooms ranked poorly in every category.
University College has only 2 restrooms in the whole building, and one is a single stall for men AND women.  The buildings bathrooms were gross with a Cleanliness ranking 2 of 5, it was not winning any awards. With a building as big as University College one public restroom is not nearly enough, and traffic is bound to be constantly high (2 of 5), the building has begun showing its age, in fact it started showing its age 5 years ago, giving a rating of 2 of 5 yet again. the only area the building ranked even bearably was in the privacy rating with 3 of 5.

2 of 5 Overall. You can find a better building for the bathroom. Just keep walking.

Pro tips: Just avoid University College, if you really need to go, hold-it and make your way to another building. If you really really need to go make your way to the second floor for a bit of privacy.

The Science Half of the Clendenin Building

★★★★★
Clendenin Building on the Campus
of Kennesaw State
Previously on The Gentlemen's Almanac to KSU, bad graffiti, filth, and burnt orange counter tops led to a 2/5 rating for the Math half of the Clandenin Building. The Science half however made the math half look like an amateur. The Science half has bathrooms down to scientific greatness. I'm really bad about puns.. Let's dive in.
The Science half of the Clendenin building starts with a bang with a private unisex bathroom on each floor, as well as a regular bathroom for a total of 6 bathrooms (3 regular & 3 private). Because there are so many the traffic is low receiving a rating of 5/5. All of the bathrooms were clean and new with automatic sinks, hand dryers, and toilets. Cleanliness rating 4/5, and Atmosphere rating of 5/5. No graffiti and no glory. By far the best bathrooms yet to be reviewed and really only has one building to worry about, but that'll come later. The only downside to these bathrooms is that, unless you are a science major you never go to the Clendenin Building. It's the building furthest away from everything except University Place, and the best bathroom in the building is on the top floor.
However inconvenient the placement may be, if you are looking for the best bathroom on KSU's campus the Science half of the Clendenin Building definitely has to be on the short list. Overall rating is 5/5. Go here for peace and serenity, and an all around great bathroom experience.

Carmichael Student Center

★★★★☆

The Student Center at Kennesaw State is a great place for many students to spend time between classes. With plenty things to do in the building from ping-pong in the game room, to meeting new people at events in the university rooms, eating in the one of the many great restaurants, and studying in the cubes on the third floor KSU's Student Center has plenty to offer its students, but how are the bathrooms?

With so many activities available in the Student Center the building is does not scrimp on the number of bathrooms, with a staggering 8 bathrooms it may have the most of any building on campus. The bathrooms in the student center are surprisingly clean rating 4 of 5 in cleanliness, and with so many bathrooms in the building the traffic is kept at a comfortable average (3 of 5). While the building has gone through many renovations which including adding a new arch to ease the eye on the entrance from campus green, the bathroom atmosphere is fairly low because of the buildings age beginning to show 2 of 5.
Privacy in the Student Center Bathrooms is fair 3 of 5. Nothing impressive nor intrusive.
there is graffiti in the Student Center bathrooms which is unsurprising for such an old building, thankfully the graffiti is fairly entertaining ranking 4 of 5 on the vulgar-clever scale, with some skilled artist to boast their works.
The automatic amenities in the Student Center vary widely as there are new and old bathrooms in the building, most are manual but there are automatic devices in the newer bathrooms within the Student Center.

We rate the Carmichael Student Center with an impressive 4 of 5 stars.
If you need to go and you're in a close building this may be worth the extra time to take a visit to.

Pro tips: There are two impressive bathrooms in the Student Center that you should tuck in the back of your mind in case you ever find yourself in need.
The bathrooms at the bottom of the stairs  in the eating area is to the right are the newest bathrooms (and very clean) that the student center has to offer, with all of the bells and whistles as far as automatic amenities are concerned.
The best bathrooms in the building are directly across from the bursars office in the new entrance with the arch. not many people know about these bathrooms so they are very low traffic and even have a chiropractors table in the room for your enjoyment.
