All good bathrooms have one thing in common: No one goes to them. UCSD’s best pisspots aren’t the centrally located, high-traffic rooms in PC, but the out-of-the-way toilets in Warren and the Old Student Center. Girls can’t do better than the restroom on the second floor of the Engineering Building Unit 3 (EBU3), located in Warren's School of Engineering. It’s spotless, well-stocked and usually empty — which speaks volumes about the number of female engineers. It even sports a clever environmentally friendly dryer you put your hands into (instead of under). For the boys, the bathroom on the first floor of the Old Student Center (next to the bike shop) is always open, always available and always clean. Its motion-activated light sensors might make the pitch-dark interior daunting on first glance, but wait a split second and marvel at the amount of excess space.
